Your  dryer  features  FlowSense
TM 
,  an  innovative 
sensing system that automatically detects blockages 
and restrictions in dryer ductwork. Keeping ductwork 
clean of lint buildup and free of restrictions allows 
clothes to dry faster and reduces energy use.
NOTE:  When  the  dryer  is  first  installed,  this  test 
should  be  performed  to  alert  you  to  any  existing 
problems  with  the  exhaust  duct  in  your  home.  
however, since the test performed during normal 
operation  provides  more  accurate  information  on 
the  condition  of  the  exhaust  duct  than  does  the 
installation test, the number of bars displayed during 
the two tests may not be the same.
To activate the fl ow check (Duct condition test) :
NOTE: Dryer heating test must be performed before 
proceeding. Then perform the duct condition test 
below:
Press and hold the DAMP DRY BEEP and 
TEMP. CONTROL buttons at the same time. 
While holding these buttons, press POWER 
ON/OFF.
The dryer will show lnS in the number display 
to indicate that it is in duct condition testing 
mode.

Press START/PAUSE. The dryer 
will run for approximately 2 
minutes to test for blockages 
or restrictions to air fl ow in the 
ductwork. 
If FLOW SENSE indicator light is on, 
the dryer ductwork has a blockage that 
needs to be removed immediately. 
IMPORTANT: Do NOT interrrupt the 
test cycle!
