For exhaust systems not covered by the ex-haust length chart, see the Whirlpool ServiceManual: Exhausting Whirlpool Dryers, PartNo. 603197, which is available from your Whirl-pool parts distributor. Also refer to Section 8.

If a dryer is installed in a confined area, it mustbe exhausted to the outside, and provisionmade for enough air for combustion and venti-lation. Check governing codes and ordinances.

A 4 (10.2 cm) outlet hood is preferred, how-ever, a 2 1/2 (6.4 cm) outlet exhaust hood maybe used. A 2 1/2 (6.4 cm) outlet createsgreater backpressure than other hood types.For permanent installation, a stationary ex-haust system is required.

2-14

MULTIPLE DRYER VENTINSTALLATION

A main exhaust vent can be used for exhaust-ing a group of dryers. The main exhaust ventshould be sized to remove 200 CFM of air perdryer.

Large-capacity lint screens of proper designmay be used in the main exhaust vent if checkedand cleaned frequently.

The room where the dryers are located shouldhave makeup air equal to or greater than theCFM of all the dryers in the room.

An exhaust hood should cap the exhaust ventto prevent exhausted air from returning into thedryer. The outlet of the hood must be at least12 (30.5 cm) from the ground or anything elsethat may restrict flow of exhaust air. If anexhaust hood cannot be used, the outside endof the main vent should have a sweep elbowdirected downward.

A Back-draft Damper Kit, #3391910, is avail-able from your Whirlpool dealer and should beinstalled in each dryer's exhaust vent to pre-vent exhausted air from returning into the dry-ers, and to keep individual exhausts in balancewithin the main exhaust vent. Unobstructed airopenings are required.

Each exhaust vent should enter the main ventat an angle pointing in the direction of theairflow.

Vents entering from the opposite side shouldbe staggered to reduce the exhausted air frominterfering with the other vents. The maximumangle of each vent entering the main ventshould be no more than 30 degrees. Keep airopenings free of dry cleaning fluid fumes. Fumescreate acids which, when drawn through thedryer heating units, can damage dryers andloads being dried. A clean-out cover should belocated on the main exhaust vent for periodiccleaning of the exhaust system.

INSTALLING THE DRYER

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move andinstall dryer.

Failure to do so can result in back orother injury.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors,such as gasoline, away from dryer.

Place dryer at least 18 inches (45.8 cm)above the floor for a garage installation.

Failure to do so can result in death,explosion, or fire.

WARNING

1. Remove the tape from the front corners ofthe dryer. Open the dryer and remove theliterature and parts packages. Wipe theinterior of the drum thoroughly with a dampcloth.

2. Place two of the cardboard corners fromthe carton on the floor in back of the dryer.Firmly grasp the body of the dryer, andgently lay it on its back on the cardboardcorners.

3. Look at the ridges on one of the levelinglegs for a diamond marking. That is how farthe leg is supposed to go into the hole.

4. Start to screw the leveling legs into theholes by hand. (You can use a small amountof liquid detergent to lubricate the screwthreads so it is easier to turn the legs.) Usea 1 wrench or socket wrench to finishturning the legs until you reach the diamondmark, then stand dryer up on its feet.

NOTE: Slide the cardboard or hardboard un-der the dryer before moving it across anyflooring, to avoid damaging the floor covering.

5. Move the dryer close to its final position.Remove the cardboard or hardboard fromunder the dryer.

At this time, proceed to either Gas Dryers orElectric Dryers to complete the installation.

2-17

GAS DRYERS

1. Remove red cap from gas pipe.

2. Connect the gas supply to the dryer. ForL.P. gas installations, be sure to use pipejointcompound that is resistant to the action ofL.P. gas. If flexible metal tubing is used, becertain there are no kinks in the tubing.

3. If it is necessary to open the toe panel forservice, use a putty knife to press on the toepanel locks, located at the top corners ofthe panel. Pull downward on the toe panelto open it. The toe panel is hinged at thebottom.

4. Open the shutoff valve in the gas supplyline.

5. Use a non-corrosive leak detection fluid tocheck for leaks. Bubbles around connec-tions will indicate a leak.

NOTE: Never test for gas leaks with a flame.

6. If a leak appears, shut off gas valve controlsand adjust connections. Then check con-nections again. Close toe panel. All con-nections must be wrench tightened.

NOTE: The dryer door must be closed for thedryer to operate. When the door is open, thedryer will stop, but the timer will continue to run.To restart the dryer, close the door, and pushthe START button.

7. Connect the exhaust vent system to thedryer exhaust outlet and the exhaust hood,using 4 (10.2 cm) clamps. Use caulking toseal the exterior wall opening around ex-haust hood.

8. Carefully move the dryer into its final posi-tion. Place a level on top of the dryer, firstside-to-side, then front-to-back. If the dryeris not level, adjust the legs up or down untilit is level.

9. If the burner does not ignite and you canfeel no heat inside the dryer, shut off thedryer for five minutes. Check to make surethat all of the gas supply valve controls areon, and that the electrical cord is plugged in.Repeat this five-minute test.

10. If the drying time is too long, make sure thatthe lint screen is clean, and there is noobstruction to airflow, (i.e. kinked venting,foreign material in vent, vent hood stuckclosed, or vent tubes too long; see page2-13).

11.Lift the service door up at the back andremove it from the metercase. Install thechosen money acceptor, as instructed inthe appropriate money acceptor section ofthis Job Aid.

MONEY ACCEPTOR INSTALLATIONADVANTECH models come from the factorywithout money acceptors installed. The enduser must install the money acceptor or combi-nation of acceptors of their choice. Moneyacceptors are available in three basic varieties,coinslides, coindrops and SMART Cards. TheADVANTECH control can accept inputs fromall of these devices.

The control can be configured to operate with-out a money acceptor, or have a coinslide/coindrop with an auxiliary interface, connected(card reader) at the same time. With multiplemoney acceptor installations, some features ofADVANTECH may be limited by the acceptor'scapabilities. For example, if a coinslide is usedon a dryer, the top-off purchase option is lim-ited to the full amount of the coinslide.

Whirlpool does warranty the proper operationof the control system when external connec-tions are made as described within this docu-ment. External circuits may induce EMI (elec-tromagnetic interference) which could result in

improper operation of the control system. It isthe responsibility of the money acceptor manu-facturer to insure proper operation of the aux-iliary interface device with the ADVANTECH

control. Product modifications void the Whirl-pool warranty.

The money acceptor type installed must beprogrammed into the control either manually orthrough use of the ADVANTECH manage-ment software and the PDA. Additionally thevend-amount of the money acceptor mustmatch the vend-price programmed into thecontrol. For information on setting vend-priceand the money acceptor type usingADVANTECH Management Software andPalm, consult the Software Service Manual,Part #8524743.

If the washer or dryer is to be used without theADVANTECH Management Software andPalm, infrared (IR) functionality must also bedisabled to prevent unauthorized access to thecontrol settings.

AUXILIARY DEVICE OVERVIEWINSTALLATION, WASHERS ANDFREESTANDING DRYERS

Auxiliary devices include but are not limited toSMART Card devices, remote monitoring sta-tions, Internet monitors, distributed money ter-minals and other transaction stations. Cur-rently the only commonly used auxiliary deviceis a SMART Card. As more devices becomecommon, additional descriptions will be pro-vided.

If the Auxiliary device is a SMART card unit, thecard acceptor can physically reside in the loca-tion normally used by a coinslide or coindropmechanism. Alternately, a washer and dryermodel is offered without a metercase (full widthconsole model), but provides a mounting loca-tion in the console for a SMART Card reader.

Security is only provided by physical access tothe auxiliary communications port. There areno security codes imposed between the con-trol and the auxiliary device. Therefore, theauxiliary device must provide for its own secu-rity layer of protection.

The auxiliary device connection on the controlboard features a power output enabling deviceto be connected to the control without requiringan external low voltage power source (extratransformer). This helps reduce the end usercost of such devices. The transformer containsan internal one-time use thermal fuse at theprimary, which opens when current draw isgreater than the 200-mA limitation. An openthermal fuse not only disables the entire auxil-iary power supply but also power to the control.

NOTE: When the thermal fuse opens the con-trol must be replaced! Prior to installation of thenew control all auxiliary devices should bechecked per manufacturers testing proceduresto prevent control failure. Additionally the watervalve on washers and the bias heater circuitsshould also be tested (see Component Test-ing in section 5).

The +5 VDC and DC circuit ground indicatedbelow are isolated from the AC line by a ULClass II transformer. No connection to earthground or cabinet ground is to be made by thecoindrop circuit. If a circuit other than an optobeam interrupter is used, for example a micro-processor controlled unit, the circuits mustremain electrically isolated from one another.

PRODUCT OPERATION

ADVANTECH Product flexibility allows a singlewasher or dryer to accept multiple paymentsystems over the life of the product. This elimi-nates the need to purchase different SKUsbased on money acceptance requirements.

ADVANTECH allows use of multiple moneyacceptors, as well as Palm and SMART Cardaccountability systems at the same time. AllADVANTECH models come equipped with anauxiliary communications port for connectingSMART Cards, Ethernet boxes, Internet con-trols, or additional devices. ADVANTECH doesnot require that purchasers be tied to an appli-ance manufacturers proprietary card reader.The ADVANTECH open-architecture designallows the use of a card system that best meetsthe current business requirements to be in-stalled into the product.

Whirlpool ADVANTECH Commercial Laun-dry Products allow the use of a Palm handhelddevice, also referred to as a Personal DigitalAssistant (PDA), for washer and dryer instal-lation and setup. This includes setting specialvend-prices, washer and dryer software up-grades, and transferring data to and from apersonal computer (PC). Information is set upon a PC using ADVANTECH ManagementSoftware, which is then used to downloadADVANTECH Handheld Software to thePalm. The Palm uses an infrared light beamto communicate information contained in theManagement Software to the washer and dryer.

ADVANTECH SYSTEM OVERVIEWBefore downloading the Handheld Software tothe Palm, Management Software must beinstalled and running on the PC. Passwords,machine setup, and Handheld Software areavailable within the Management Software.Detailed information about setup and installa-tion of the ADVANTECH Management Soft-ware is available in the Software ServiceManual, Part #8524743. AdditionalADVANTECH literature can be located in theLiterature Cross-Reference Chart on page1-9.

Commands for the Management Software in-stalled on the PC are entered by using thekeyboard or mouse. Commands for theHandheld Software are entered into the Palm

by tapping the appropriate menu on its screen,using a stylus that is provided with the handhelddevice. Occasionally you may be asked toenter text into the Palm using the Graffiti textcharacters, or the Palm keyboard. Additionalinformation regarding the use of Graffiti textand the Palm keyboard can be found in thePalm Owners Manual.
