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 "Cg" (the duct system is blocked ), refer to the "Ducting requirements"
•
section on page 12 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.
2. Use 4-inch rigid metal ducts. Tape all joints including the dryer connection.
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.
