INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FLOW CHECK (DUCT CONDITION TEST) Your dryer features FlowCheck™, an innovative sensing system that automatically detects blockages and restrictions in dryer ductwork. Keeping ductwork clean of lint buildup and free of restrictions allows clothes to dry faster and reduces energy use. NOTE: When the dryer is first installed, this test should be performed to alert you to any existing problems with the exhaust duct 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 number of bars displayed during the two tests may not be the same. To activate the flow check (Duct condition test) : NOTE: Dryer heating test must be performed before proceeding. Then perform the duct condition test below: 1 Press the OPTION button, then select CUSTOM PGM.
