immediately.
NOTE
• For duct installation, see "Exhaust ducting guide" on page 28 and "Ducting
requirements" on page 14.
• The dryer may keep running even if the duct is clogged, but the drying time will be
extended.
• If the indicator turns on for the first time and is solid (not blinking), check and clean the
lint filter and/or duct.
• If the indicator turns on again later, it is because the duct is installed or connected with
some restrictions (it's too long or has too many bends). This is not a system failure.
However, drying time may be extended or the drying performance may be degraded.
