Ultra Big Capacity Drum

The Kenmore Dryer has a large capacity.

Reduced drying time

Drying time is shortened by efficient air flow mechanism and

optimized heater.

Innovative Noise Reduction

Noise is reduced by optimized design of air flow system and

vibration reduction technology.

Ease of Use

Large LED display and electronic control.

Your dryer provides sensor drying and manual drying programs.

Sensor Dry Dryer electronically senses laundry moisture level and it automatically determines operation time

based on the dryness of the load and the selected program. At times,you can see sudden increase or

decrease of operation time. It happens because a sensor will detect laundry humidity with a certain period.

Sudden change of operation time is not a malfunction.

Manual Dry Manual Dry allows you to set operation time manually to complete drying. Or use Manual Dry if

clothes are still damp after sensor dry cycle is finished. Manual Dry is more effective for heavyweight and bulky

items such as king-size bed sheets and thick work clothes.

nstallation Instructions

Built in

The following instructions will help guide you through the initial steps of setting up your dryer for use.

Please note that every section of this manual provides important information regarding the preparation

and use of your dryer, and it is important that you review this entire manual before proceeding with any

installation or use. More detailed instructions concerning electrical connections, gas connections, and

exhaust requirements are provided in other parts of this manual.

Choose a location with a solid floor for your dryer.

Place the dryer at least eighteen inches above the

floor for a garage installation. After placing the

dryer in the desired location, please make sure that

it has the required clearances shown below and

sections on Exhaust and Maintenance requirements,

page10.

Certain minimum clearances are required

above, behind, and to the sides of the unit, as

shown below.Those required minimum clearances

are set forth in the picture below. Please keep the

following instructions in mind when installing in a

closet or recessed area:

• Consider allowing additional clearance for

installation and servicing.

• Wall, door, and floor molding may force additional

clearances.

• An additional inch of clearance is recommended to

minimize noise transfer .

• Consider space needed for companion appliances.

• For closet installations, the picture below shows the

minimum required ventilation openings for the door.

A louvered door with comparable ventilation openings

is also acceptable.

STEP 1 Positioning the Dryer.

Leveling legs should be secured.

All four legs are stably placed on the solid and

even floor.

If dryer is not level, laundry may not tumble

properly and sensor will not detect the accurate

humidity information.

When leveling, please be cautious not to injure

your fingers and toes.

Note

* Most installations require a minimum 5 1/2 in.

(14 cm) clearance behind the dryer for the exhaust

vent with elbow.

Installation Instructions

1. Remove Duct Connector.

2. Remove the right (or left) Side Cap by (-) driver.

3. Assemble the Duct Connector to the hole and

close the back hole by the Side Cap.

• PLEASE BE AWARE THAT FAILURE TO

EXHAUST THE DRYER CORRECTLY WILL

VOID THE DRYER’S WARRANTY.

To change duct direction, follow these steps.

nstallation Instructions

In addition to the following warnings, please refer to

manual section on Exhaust Requirements and

Maintenance, page 10.

IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of fire, combustion,

and gas accumulation, the dryer must be vented to the

outdoors. Please follow the instructions (and all

others in this manual) very carefully.

WARNING!

• Use a heavy metal vent.

• Do not use plastic or thin foil duct.

• Failure to follow these instructions can

result in death or fire.

• Clean old ducts before installing this dryer

STEP 2 Connecting the Exhaust

and Venting System.

Vent end will face to the outside home and

improper taping and unstable installation of vent

will cause undesirable drying performance.

Note

• Do not use Plastic or thin foil duct.

• Use 4" (10.2 cm) diameter rigid or Semi-rigid

metal duct (note: venting materials are not

supplied with the dryer, and you should obtain the

venting materials necessary for proper installation)

• Position the Dryer so that the exhaust duct run is

as short as possible.

• Clean old ducts before installing this dryer

• The male end of each section of exhaust duct must

point away from the dryer

• Use as few elbow joints as possible.

• Use duct tape on all duct joints

• Insulate ductwork that runs through unheated

areas in order to reduce condensation and lint

build-up on pipe walls.

During transportation side cap can come out slightly.

If that is so, push and fit it to the hole to prevent

possible lint leakage.

Note

Installation Instructions

Close the door to the dryer drum/drying

compartment and, after completing all steps in this

manual for proper installation of this dryer, start the

dryer on a heat setting, as described more fully in

the operating instructions that accompany the dryer.

The exhaust air or the exhaust pipe should be warm

after the dryer has been operating for three minutes.

The following instructions are applicable to

installations of the dryer in a manufactured or mobile

home. If you are uncertain whether your proposed

installation will comply with these standards, please

contact a service and installation professional for

assistance.

Following are several warnings and instructions

concerning making the electrical connection for

electric dryers.

of the dryer in a manufactured or mobile home:

1) Electric dryers may be vented to the outside

using the back, left, or right.

2) The dryer exhaust duct must be affixed securely

to the manufactured or mobile home structure,

and the exhaust duct must be made of a material

that will resist fire and combustion, and it is

recommended that you use a rigid or flexible

metal pipe.

3) Make sure the dryer has adequate access to

outside fresh air to ensure proper operation. The

opening for outside fresh air must be at least 25 in²

(163㎠)

4) It is important that the clearance of the duct from

any combustible construction be at least 2 inches

(5 cm), and, when venting the dryer to the

outdoors, the dryer can be installed with a

clearances of 1 inch (2.5 cm) at the sides and back

of the dryer.

noise and vibration.

2. Place your dryer in a solid and level area

where water is not dripping or freezing.

2. If the dryer is not properly level, adjust the

levelling legs up and down as necessary.

2. Turn them clockwise to raise and

counterclockwise to lower until the dryer is not

wobbling both front-to-back and side-to-side.

󳢬

Diagonal Check

xhaust Requirements And Maintenance

Exhaust Requirements And Maintenance

Following are important instructions and information concerning the exhaust requirements for your dryer.

Important Warning: To reduce the risk of fire, combustion, or accumulation of combustible gases, DO

NOT exhaust dryer air into an enclosed and unventilated area, such as an attic, wall, ceiling, crawl space,

chimney, gas vent, or concealed space of a building. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT exhaust the dryer with

plastic or thin foil ducting.

Exhaust Requirements and Instructions:

1. Venting materials are not provided with the dryer and

you should obtain the necessary venting materials

locally. For example, the outer end of exhaust pipe

must have a weather hood with hinged dampers to

prevent back-draft when the dryer is not in use.

2. The exhaust duct must be four inches (10.2 cm) in

diameter with no obstructions. The exhaust duct

should be kept as short as possible. Make sure to

clean any old ducts before installing your new dryer.

3. Rigid or semi-rigid metal ducting is recommended for

use as transition ducting between the dryer and and the

wall. In special installations when it is impossible to

make a connection with the above recommendations,

then a UL-listed flexible metal transition duct may be

used between the dryer and wall connection only. The

use of this ducting will affect dry time.

4. DO NOT use sheet metal screws on exhaust pipe joints

or other fastening means which extend into the duct that

could catch lint and reduce the efficiency of the exhaust

system. Secure all joints with duct tape.

5. To maximize operating results, please observe the duct

length limitations noted in the chart above.
