Install Vent System; Connect Vent; Level Dryer - Kenmore 592-89107 Use & Care Manual

Determine vent path
■ Select the route that will provide the straightest and most
direct path outdoors.
■ Plan the installation to use the 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 the fewest 90° turns possible.
Determine vent length and elbows needed for best drying
performance
■ Use the 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
the Vent system chart. Exhaust systems longer than those
specified will:
■ Shorten the life of the dryer.
■ Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and
increased energy usage.
The Vent system chart provides venting requirements that will
help to achieve the best drying performance.
Vent system chart
NOTE: Side and bottom exhaust installations have a 90º turn
inside the dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add one
90º turn to the chart.

Install Vent System

1. Install exhaust hood. Use caulking compound to seal exterior
wall opening around exhaust hood.
2. Connect vent to exhaust hood. Vent must fit inside exhaust
hood. Secure vent to exhaust hood with 4" (10.2 cm) clamp.
3. Run vent to dryer location. Use the straightest path possible.
See "Determine vent path" in "Plan Vent System." Avoid 90º
turns. Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape,
screws or other fastening devices that extend into the interior
of the vent to secure vent.

Connect Vent

1. Using a 4" (10.2 cm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet
in dryer. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is
clean. The dryer vent must fit over the dryer exhaust outlet
and inside the exhaust hood. Check that the vent is secured
to exhaust hood with a 4" (10.2 cm) clamp.
2. Move dryer into its final location. Do not crush or kink vent.
3. (On gas models) Check that there are no kinks in the flexible
gas line.
4. Once the exhaust vent connection is made, remove the
corner posts and cardboard.

Level Dryer

To set the dryer to the same height as the washer, fully retract
the leveling feet by turning them counterclockwise, then loosen
the legs by turning them clockwise
Retract fully
Adjust the leveling feet only as much as necessary to level the
dryer. Extending the leveling feet more than necessary can
cause the dryer to vibrate.
Then loosen
