Vent blockage test
After the dryer is installed, start the Vent Blockage Test to check if the duct system is
properly installed. The 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 must run with the dryer in a cool state. If the dryer warms up
after the installation check, run the AIR FLUFF cycle for several minutes to reduce its
internal temperature.
Running the vent blockage test
1. Make sure the drum is empty, and then close the door.
(If there are any clothes or other items in the drum, the test will not give accurate
results.)
2. Press the POWER button to turn the dryer on, then simultaneously press and hold the
Adjust Time
and Dry level buttons for 3 seconds. “InS” appears in the dryer’s
display. (If you have started other procedures before the Vent Blockage Test, the
dryer will not enter the Vent Blockage Test mode.)
3. Press the START/PAUSE button. The Vent Blockage Test starts immediately. During the
test, the number indicator makes a circle in 6 clockwise steps. The test takes about 2
minutes. Do not open the door during the test.
4. After 2 minutes, when the test is complete, the results is displayed and the dryer
sounds a tone.
If status of the duct system is normal, “0” appears and the dryer sounds a completion
tone.
If the duct system can not exhaust properly, “CLg” appears and the dryer sounds an
alarm tone.
If there are any other problems, an information code appears in the display. For
information about the code, see Information codes section on page 45.
• To stop or cancel the Vent Blockage Test, press the POWER button to turn off your
dryer.
• During the test, if “dc” appears in the display, make sure the door is closed. If
“C1” is displayed, see if there is laundry inside drum. If there is, stop the test and
remove it. Then, start the test again.
• The results remain on the display for about 5 minutes and then automatically turn
off. You can turn the result off immediately by pressing the POWER button.

English26
NOTE
• During or after the test, the internal drum is hot. Use caution to prevent burns.
The Vent Blockage Test is used to check for problems to the current duct system when
the dryer is installed for the rst time.
• If the test result displays “CLg” (the duct system is blocked ), refer to the “Ducting
requirements” section on page 16 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 ap opens and
closes freely. We recommend that you clean the exhaust system annually or on a regular
basis.
WARNING
• To prevent re, do not use plastic, thin-foil, or non-metal exible 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.

• Check the exhaust system for lint buildup. Ducting should be
inspected and cleaned annually.
• Use a 4” rigid metal exhaust duct.
• Do not overload. 1 wash load = 1 dryer load.
• Dry heavy items and light weight items separately.
• Large, bulky items, such as blankets or comforters, may
require repositioning to ensure even drying.
• Make sure that your washer is draining properly and
extracting adequate water from the load.
• The load may be too small to tumble properly. Add a few
towels and restart the dryer.
• The load may be too large to tumble properly. Remove some
items and restart the dryer.
• Clean the lint lter.

Problem Action
Is noisy.
• Check the load for objects such as coins, loose buttons, nails,
etc. Remove promptly.
• It is normal to hear the dryer gas valve or heating element
cycle on and off during the drying cycle.
• Make sure the dryer is leveled properly as outlined in the
installation instructions.
• It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high velocity of
air moving through the dryer drum, fan, or exhaust system.
Dries unevenly.
• Seams, pockets, and other similarly heavy areas may not
be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached
the selected dryness level. This is normal. You can choose
a higher dryness level or a cycle that involves a higher
dryness level.
• If one heavy item is dried with a light weight load, such as
one towel with sheets, it is possible that the heavy item will
not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached
the selected dryness level.
• For the best drying results, dry heavy items and light weight
items separately.
Has odors.
• Household odors from paint, varnish, strong cleaners, etc.
may enter the dryer with the surrounding room air. This is
normal as the dryer draws the air from the room, heats it,
pulls it through the tumbler, and exhausts it outside.
• When these odors linger in the air, completely ventilate the
room before using the dryer.
• Use a cycle featuring the Refresh function. If odors persist,
wash and dry the items again.
Lint on clothes.
• Make sure the lint lter is cleaned before every load. For
clothes that naturally build up lint, clean the lter during the
cycle.
• Some fabrics are lint producers (for example, a fuzzy white
cotton towel) and they must be dried separately from clothes
that are lint trappers (for example, a pair of black linen
pants).
• Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.
• Check pockets thoroughly before drying, then dry clothes.
