Restricted Or Blocked Airfl Ow - KENMORE ELITE 796.8196 Manual De Uso Y Cuidado

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Check the duct condition.
If the CHECK VENT LED is blinking, check the exhaust
system for restrictions and damage. Repair or replace
the exhaust system as needed.
NOTE: When the dryer is fi rst installed, this test should
be performed to alert you to any existing problems
with the exhaust ducts in your home. However, since the
test performed during normal operation provides more
accurate information on the condition of the exhaust
duct than does the installation test, the results of the two
tests may not be the same.
Do not interrupt the test cycle, as this could result in
inaccurate results.
Even if the LED is not blinking during the test cycle,
some restrictions may still be present in the exhaust
system. Refer to the Venting the Dryer section of
this guide for complete exhaust system and venting
requirements.
