26 INSTALLATION
TM
If the Flow Sense LED is turned on, check the
exhaust system for restrictions and damage. Repair
or replace the exhaust system as needed.
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.
Do not interrupt the test cycle, as this could result
in inaccurate results.
Even if no bars are displayed during the test
cycle, some restrictions may still be present in the
exhaust system. Refer to the Venting the Dryer
section of this manual for complete exhaust
system and venting requirements.
• For appliances with ventilation openings in the
base, that a carpet must not obstruct the openings.
• The exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue
which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances
burning gas or other fuels.
• The appliance must not be installed behind a
lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge
on the opposite side to that of the tumble dryer.
