Vent Safety Strip® Instructions
Place one indicator strip inside empty dryer. (figure 1)- Remove lint screen.
- Set the dryer on high heat and time dry.
- Locate exhaust vent duct cover. Clip the second indicator strip to the inside of the duct cover on the exterior exhaust vent (figure 2). Be certain that the measurement end of the indicator is inserted completely inside the vent.
- Start dryer and allow it to run 5 - 7 minutes.
- Retrieve both safety strips from their applied locations.
- a) If both indicators show red color dot, dryer and vent are functioning properly.
- b) If the indicator strip inside the dryer has red dot and the second strip is still white, then the dryer is reaching minimum operating temperature, but the vent system may be clogged.
- Recommendations: Inspect vent system for kinks, breaks, and lint build up. Clean and repair as necessary. Repeat test for best results.
- c) If both indicator strips are white, then your dryer is probably not reaching minimum operating temperature. Disconnect vent from rear of dryer and repeat test with dryer only.
Recommendations: Contact dryer manufacturer for service
