Leveling The Dryer; Reversing The Door Swing - Kenmore 796.8002 Series Use & Care Manual And Installation Instructions

LEVELING THE DRYER

WARNING
• Wear gloves during installation.
• Failure to follow these instructions can result
in injury.
To ensure that the dryer provides optimal drying
performance, it must be level. To minimize vibration,
noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must be
a level, solid surface.
NOTE: Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary
to level the dryer. Extending the leveling feet more than
necessary can cause the dryer to vibrate.
Position the dryer in the final location. Place a level
across the top of the dryer.
• All four leveling feet must rest solidly on the floor.
Gently push on the top corners of the dryer to make
sure that the dryer does not rock from corner to corner.
Use a wrench to turn the leveling feet. Turn the leveling
foot clockwise to raise the dryer; turn the foot counter-
clockwise to lower the dryer. Using a level, adjust the
feet until the dryer is level from side to side and front to
back. Make sure all 4 feet are in firm contact with the
floor.
NOTE: If you are installing the dryer on the optional
pedestal, the dryer leveling feet should be fully retracted.
Use the leveling feet on the pedestal to level the dryer.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The swing of the dryer door can be reversed to fit your
