Drying a load of laundry

1)In the LEVEL 2 state, this message is displayed for 3 hours after the completion of the cycle. (If the wrinkle prevention function is activated, this message is displayed for up to 3 hours.)
If the power button is pressed or the door is opened, the power is immediately turned off.
For more information about the duct installation, please refer to the “Ducting requirements” section on page 12.
•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 fi rst time the dryer is run after installation, check the connection 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
