Whirlpool 3397612 - Manual (Page 5)

The exhaust duct can
be routed up, down,
left, right or straight out
the bock of the
wosher/dryer. Space
requirements ore
provided on Ponei G
and on the rear panel
of the washer/dryer.
Use the straightest
path you can to
avoid 90° turns.
Maximum length of the exhaust system
depends upon the type of duct used,
number of eibows and the type of
exhaust hood. The maximum length for
both rigid and flexible duct is shown in
the chart.
The maximum length using a 2" x 6" rectangular
duct with 2 elbows and a 2-1/2" (TYPE C) exhaust
hood is 8 tt.
For exhaust configurations other than
those listed in the chart, the back
pressure MUST not exceed 0.2 inches
water coiumn at the back of the
washer/dryer. The back pressure should
be checked by a qualified technician.
For exhaust systems not covered by the
exhaust length chart, see Service
Manual. Part No. 603197, available from
your authorized parts distributor.
Service check: The back pressure in any
exhaust system used must not exceed
0.2 inches of water column measured
with an inciined manometer at the
point that the exhaust duct connects to
the dryer.
Exhausting the dryer outside is
recommended. Recessed installation
that is not exhausted outside must use
Exhaust Deflector Kit Port No. 694609,
avaiiable from your authorized parts
distributor. See "Recessed ahd cioset
installation instructions," Panei G, for
unobstructed air opening requirements.
If the washer/dryer is installed in a
confined area such as a bedroom,
bathroom or closet, it must be
exhausted to the outside
and provision
must be made for enough air for
ventilation. Check governing codes and
ordinances. Also refer to the "Recessed
and closet installation instructions" on
Panel G.

An exhaust hood -
should cap the
exhaust duct to
prevent exhausted _
air from returning _
into dryer. The
outlet of the —
hood must be at least 12 inches from
the ground or any object that may be in
the path of the exhaust.
Four-inch exhaust hood is preferred.
However, a 2-1 /2-inch exhaust hood
may be used. A 2-1/2-inch exhaust
hood creates greater back pressure
than other hood types. For permanent
installation, a stationary exhaust system
is required.
Exhausting the dryer
through the side of the
washer/dryer requires
the use of Side Exhaust
Kit, Part No. 279823,
available from your
authorized parts
distributor. Follow kit
