Exhaust Ducting Guide - Samsung DV45K6200E Series User Manual

NOTE
• During or after the test, the internal drum is hot. Use caution to prevent burns.
The Vent Blockage Test is used to check for problems to the current duct system when
the dryer is installed for the first time.
• If the test result displays "CLg" (the duct system is blocked ), refer to the "Ducting
requirements" section on page 14 and the "Exhaust ducting guide" section below, and
then take proper measures to correct any problems.
If the test is suspended, it could result in incorrect results. Follow the proper
procedures when testing the dryer.
• Even if the test result is normal ("0"), the duct system could be blocked slightly.
Properly install all duct work according to the installation instructions in this manual.

Exhaust ducting guide

Ducting
1. Make sure the dryer is installed properly so the air exhausts freely.
Use 4-inch rigid metal ducts. Tape all joints including the dryer connection.
2.
Never use lint-trapping screws.
3. To facilitate the exhaust, keep the ducts as straight as possible.
Cleaning
Clean all old ducts before installing the dryer, and make sure the vent flap opens and
closes freely. We recommend that you clean the exhaust system annually or on a regular
basis.
WARNING
• To prevent fire, do not use plastic, thin-foil, or non-metal flexible ducts of any kind.
• Do not use a poor exhaust system because it slows down the dryer's performance.
• Do not use excessively long ducts that have multiple elbows.
• Do not use crushed or clogged venting or ducts.
