If using an existing vent system, clean lint from the entire length
of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged with
lint. Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid metal or
flexible metal vent.
Plan installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns.

Exhaust Air Flow
A. Better
B. Good
Allow as much room as possible when using elbows or making
turns. Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking. Avoid 90˚ turns.
Vent outlet is located at the center of the bottom dryer back.
The vent can be routed up, down, left, right, behind the dryer or
straight out the back of the dryer.

Whirlpool Service Manual, "Exhausting Whirlpool Dryers," Part
No. LIT603197, available from your Whirlpool parts distributor.
If dryer is installed in a confined area, such as a bedroom,
bathroom or closet, provision must be made for enough air for
combustion and ventilation. (Check governing codes and
ordinances.) See "Recessed Area and Closet Installation
Instructions" in the "Location Requiements" section.
A four-inch outlet hood is preferred. However, a 2¹⁄₂" (6.4 cm)
outlet exhaust hood may be used. A 2¹⁄₂" (6.4 cm) outlet creates
greater back pressure than other hood types. For permanent
installation, a stationary vent system is required.
