INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
VENTING THE DRYER
IMPORTANT! CHECK YOUR EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR PROBLEMS
The most common cause of dryer problems is poor exhaust venting. Before installing your new dryer, check the items listed below to make sure you get the best possible performance. This can save you time and money by reducing cycle times and increasing energy efficiency.
•DIRTY OR DAMAGED EXHAUST DUCTS. Lint builds up in exhaust ducts over time. This decreases the airflow and makes the dryer work harder. Visually inspect your ducts from both ends and have them cleaned if they have not been cleaned recently.
•WRONG VENT MATERIAL. Check your vent to make sure it is rigid or semi-rigid metal ducting. If your venting is plastic or flexible foil, have it replaced before using the dryer.
•RESTRICTED OR DAMAGED VENT HOOD. Check your vent hood outside. It must be clean and free of lint buildup. Check the damper and make sure it opens fully and easily.
•EXCESSIVELY LONG VENT. Measure the length of your exhaust system and count the elbows. Use the chart below to see if your duct is too long. If it is too long, have the duct routed to another location that is within the
venting guidelines.
•DO NOT USE PLASTIC OR FOIL VENTING. The transition duct from your dryer to the wall must be rigid or semi-rigid metal ducting. If your old transition duct is plastic or foil, REPLACE IT with semi-rigid metal ducting.
Using the Duct Length Chart (below)
1Find your vent hood type in the chart below.
2Select the row that matches the number of elbows in your dryer duct run.
3Look to the right of the elbow number for the maximum duct length for your installation. Longer duct length will result in reduced drying performance, longer dry times and increased energy consumption. Extremely long ducts can even shorten the life of the dryer.
DO NOT exceed the maximum length for the vent hood type and number of elbows used.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Testing Dryer Heating
GAS MODELS
Close the dryer door, press the POWER button to turn the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting. When the dryer starts, the igniter should ignite the main burner.
NOTE: If all air is not purged from the gas line, the gas igniter may turn off before the main burner ignites. If this happens, the igniter will reattempt gas ignition until all the air is purged from the gas line.
ELECTRIC MODELS
Close the dryer door, press the POWER button to turn the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting. The exhaust air should be warm after the dryer has been operating for 3 minutes.
Checking Airflow
Effective dryer operation requires proper airflow. The adequacy of the airflow can be measured by evaluating the static pressure. Static pressure in the exhaust duct can be measured with a manometer, placed on the exhaust duct approximately 2 ft. (60.9 cm) from the dryer. Static pressure in the exhaust duct should not exceed 0.6 inches (1.5 cm). The dryer should be checked while the dryer is running with no load.
Checking Levelness
Once the dryer is in its final location, recheck the dryer to be sure it is level. Make sure it is level front to back and side to side, and that all four leveling feet are firmly on the floor.
Checking Venting
The vent duct should be checked for lint buildup and cleaned at least once per year. If any noticeable reduction in drying performance occurs, check the duct for obstructions and blockages.

HCHECK VENT INDICATOR
(DUCT BLOCKAGE SENSING SYSTEM)
The CHECK VENT duct blockage sensing system detects and alerts you to blockages in the ductwork that reduce exhaust flow from the dryer. This light does not indicate any problems with your dryer.
If this light blinks, it indicates that your home’s exhaust system has a serious restriction, which is not covered by your dryer’s warranty. There are services available for cleaning/maintaining the external venting. Sears provides this service via Sears Carpet, Upholstery, and Duct Cleaning. Call 1-800-661-6594 to schedule duct cleaning service from Sears (if it is available in your area).
ISTEAM REFRESH CYCLE
The STEAM REFRESH cycle uses the power of steam to quickly reduce wrinkles and odor in fabrics.
It also refreshes wrinkled clothes that have been stored for an extended period of time, and it can make heavily wrinkled clothes easier to iron. STEAM REFRESH can also be used to help reduce odors in fabrics.
