1 Lights up
When a part of the duct or the
lint lter is blocked by lint or
a foreign object.
When the resistance is high
because the duct is too long
or bent.
Check the duct connection
and shorten the duct and
straighten it if necessary.
Check the lint lter or the duct
and clean it if necessary.
2 Blinks
When the duct is blocked by
lint or a foreign object.
When the resistance is very
high because the duct is too
long or bent excessively.
Check the duct connection
and shorten the duct and
straighten it if necessary.
Check the lint lter or the
duct and clean it as soon as
possible.
In the LEVEL 2 state, the
indicator blinks for 3 hours after the completion of the cycle. (If
the Wrinkle Prevention function is activated, this message is displayed for up to 3 hours.)
If the Power button is pressed or the door is opened, the power is immediately turned off.
NOTE
• For more information about the duct installation, please refer to the “Ducting
requirements” section on page 14.
• Although the dryer is available even if the blockage message is displayed, the drying
time may be extended.
• If the LEVEL 1 message is displayed the rst time the dryer is run after installation, check
the the lint lter and the connection between the duct and the dryer, and clean the duct.
If the LEVEL 1 message appears even after you have checked and cleaned the ducts, this
may indicate that there are some restrictions of the duct due to the length, condition, etc.
If this occurs, you can use the dryer normally and no countermeasures need to be taken.
However, the drying time may be extended or the drying performance may be degraded.
