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 first time the dryer is run after installation, check
the the lint filter 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.
