INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS DUCT CONDITION TESTING Your dryer features FlowSense™, an innovative sensor system that automatically detects blockages and restrictions in dryer ductwork. Keeping ductwork clean of lint build-up and free of restrictions allows clothes to dry faster, reduces energy use, and helps prevent fires. When the dryer is first installed, the duct condition test must be performed. This alerts you to any existing problems before the dryer is used. The dryer also saves this information to compare and measure future changes. To activate the duct condition test cycle: 1 Press and hold the DAMP DRY BEEP and TEMP CONTROL buttons at the same time. While holding these buttons, press POWER ON/OFF. 2 The dryer will show lnS in the number display to indicate that it is in duct condition testing mode. 3 Press START/PAUSE. The dryer will run for approximately 2 minutes to test for blockages or restrictions to air flow in the ductwork. If no bars are shown in the display, the ductwork is free from blockages or restrictions. Correct Venting Restricted or Blocked Airflow Avoid long runs or runs with multiple elbows or bends. Check for blockages and lint buildup. If all bars are lit, the dryer ductwork has a blockage that needs to be removed immediately. Make sure the ductwork is not crushed or restricted. 20
