How does the Flow sense function display the clogging of duct ?
This FlowSense
TM
function detects the clogging or blocking of ducts.
Clogged duct vents or hoses decrease efficiency in drying cloths. Clogged vents can also cause fire.
This function alerts you to the need of cleaning the duct.
When the alarm about Duct clogging is on display of the panel, your duct vents should be cleaned by
yourself or serviceman.
The FlowSense TM display consists of four bars inside
a box. The display has only 2 possible displays
