THE LCD DISPLAY
FLOW SENSE™ DUCT BLOCkAGE
H
SENSING SYSTEM INDICATOR
The FLOW SENSE™ duct blockage sensing
system detects and alerts you to blockages
in the ductwork that reduce exhaust flow
from the dryer. This improves operating
efficiency and helps minimize service calls,
saving you money.
NOTE: If the duct has been checked and
cleaned and two bars are still displayed after
several cycles, then there is some restriction
in the duct due to length, condition, etc. In
this case, no further action is necessary and
the dryer can be used normally. However,
drying times may be increased and there may
be some reduction in operating efficiency
