Kenmore C8586 Vent Length Chart Number Type Box or Angled Turns, Hoods Rigid metal, Flexible

Page 10

The angled hood style (shown following) is acceptable.

4" _-_

See the exhaust vent length chart that matches your hood type for the maximum vent lengths you can use.

Exhaust systems longer than specified will:

Shorten the life of the dryer.

Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and increased energy usage.

3= Determine the number of elbows you will need.

IMPORTANT: Do not use vent runs longer than those specified in the Vent Length Chart.

The following chart helps you determine your maximum vent length based on the number of 90 ° turns or elbows you will need and the type of vent (rigid or flexible metal) and hood that you will use.

NOTE: Side and bottom exhaust installations have a 90° turn

inside the dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add one 90 ° turn to the chart.

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 length." Avoid 90 ° 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.

To protect the floor, use a large flat piece of cardboard from the dryer carton. Place cardboard under the entire back edge of the dryer. See illustration.

2= Firmly grasp the body of the dryer (not the console panel). Gently lay the dryer on the cardboard.

\

3= Examine the leveling legs. Find the diamond marking.

1

4.Screw the legs into the leg holes by hand. Use a wrench to finish turning the legs until the diamond marking is no longer visible.

5.Place a carton corner post under each of the 2 dryer back corners. Stand the dryer up. Slide the dryer on the corner posts until it is close to its final location. Leave enough room to connect the exhaust vent.

6.Once connection is made and dryer is in final location, remove corner posts and cardboard.

Check the levelness of the dryer. Check levelness first side to side, then front to back.

If the dryer is not level, prop up the dryer using a wood block. Use a wrench to adjust the legs up or down and check again for levelness.

NOTE: It might be necessary to level the dryer again after it has been moved into its final position.
