Flow Check (Duct Condition Test) - LG STEAM DRYERS TD-V1000S User's Manual & Installation Instructions

FLOW CHECK (DUCT CONDITION TEST)

Your dryer features FlowSense
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.
