Install Vent System; Connect Inlet Hoses - Whirlpool W10562336B Instructions Pour L'installation

Determine vent path:
Select route that will provide straightest and most direct
■
path outdoors.
Plan installation to use fewest number of elbows and turns.
■
When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room
■
as possible.
Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
■
Use as few 90° turns as possible.
■
Determine vent length and elbows needed for best
drying performance:
Use following Vent System Chart to determine type of vent
■
material and hood combinations acceptable to use.
NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specified
in Vent System Chart. Exhaust systems longer than those
specified will:
Shorten life of dryer.
■
Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times
■
and increased energy usage.
The Vent System Charts provide venting requirements that
will help achieve best drying performance.

INSTALL VENT SYSTEM

1.
Install exhaust hood
Install exhaust hood and use caulking compound to seal
exterior wall opening around exhaust hood.
2.
Connect vent to exhaust hood
Vent must fit over the exhaust hood. Secure vent to exhaust
hood with 4" (102 mm) clamp. Run vent to dryer location
using straightest path possible. Avoid 90° turns. Use clamps
to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws, or other
fastening devices that extend into interior of vent to secure
vent, because they can catch lint.

CONNECT INLET HOSES

For non-steam models, skip to "Connect Vent."
The dryer must be connected to the cold water faucet using
the new inlet hoses. Do not use old hoses.
1.
Turn cold water off, remove and
replace rubber washer
Turn cold water faucet off and remove washer inlet hose.
Check and see if rubber washer is in the "Y" connector.
Remove old rubber washer from inlet hose and replace with
new rubber washer provided.
