Installation Vent blockage test English After the dryer is installed, run the Vent Blockage Test function to check if the duct system is properly installed. Vent Blockage Test automatically detects the status of the ducts and reports any blockage or problems. Proper ducting can reduce drying time and save energy. NOTE The Vent Blockage Test function must run when the dryer is cool.
Installation check codes Meaning English Check code No problems detected Solution Vent condition is good. 1. Clean the lint filter. Vent is nearly clogged Over 80 % of the vent is clogged. (This may lead to poor drying performance or cause malfunction) Leave the dryer at room temperature The internal temperature of the dryer is too low (below 32 °F (0 °C)) or too high (over 104 °F (40 °C)) and therefore vent blockage cannot be detected.
Installation Exhaust ducting guide English 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.
English 6. Remove the two screws above and below the lever holder on the opposite side of the door opening. 7.

Make sure the protrusion on the back of the hinge is pressed into the cut out before you tighten the hinge screws. 12.
Before you start Here are a few things you should know before starting your dryer. English Initial setup • When you turn on your dryer for the first time, the screen shows the initial setup process. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete it. • If you complete the initial setup and operate a cycle for more than a minute, the initial setup will not appear again. • The initial setup includes language selection and a brief tutorial. • When tapping a button, tap exactly over the text.
Before you start Sort and load English • • • • • • • • Put one wash load in the dryer at a time. Do not mix heavy and lightweight items together.
