FLOW SENSOR FUNCTION

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 displayed, clean the duct or call a servicer to clean them.

The FlowSense

TM

display consists of four bars

inside a box. The display has only two possible
displays as only two possible displays as shown
here (Also see the figure shown below):
