TIPS
TheRLE202isdesignedtorotateinaclockwisedirectiononly.Rotatingthebrushinacounter‐clockwise
directionwillcausethebrushtobecomedisconnectedandstuckinsidethevent.
Useacordlessadjustableclutchdrillatalowsettingtoavoidbreakingtheextensionrods.
FailuretousetheDryer/BloweradaptercouldcausedamagetotheRLE202toolanddryer.
Cleandryervent,backofdryerandsurroundingarea3to4timesperyear.
Alwaysattachrodstogetherwithtwopairsofplierstoensuretheyaretight.Aftertightening,useelectricalor
ducttapetowraptherodconnectionssotheydon’tcomeloosewhilecleaningtheduct.
SAFETYTIPS
Donotuseexcessiveforcewhenpushingthebrushthroughthevent.Thiscancausepersonalinjury,damageto
theventormaybreakthebrushoffinthevent.Addonerodatatimeasyoupushthebrushintothevent.
AlwaysattachtheDryerBlowerAdapterwhenusingthedryertoblowthelintoutoftheventwhilerotary
brushing.Theadapterwillkeepthebrushfromdamagingthedryer.
Eyeprotectionandaduskmaskisrecommended.
INITIALINSPECTION
Checkmaterialusedfortheventing.Ifpossible,youshouldreplacefoilorwhitevinylwithrigidorsemi‐rigidall
Metalventing.
TheRLE202willcleanalltypesofventing.Usecarewhencleaningfoilorwhitevinylvents.
Turndryeroninheatmodeandcheckoutsidetoseeifthereisairflowing.
Ifthereisascreenovertheoutsidevent,removeanddiscard.Donotuseascreen,itwillcauseabackupoflint.
IFVENTHASNOAIRFLOW
Turnoffdryer.
AttachBlockageRemovalTooltotheendoftheextensionrodandtightenwithnut.
Inserttoolinventandturnclockwisebyhandwhilemovingbackandforth.Ifneeded,addmorerodsuntil
blockageisreached.Slowlyremovetoolwhileturningclockwise.
Turndryerbackonandcheckforairflow.(Note:Ifthereisstillnoairflow,checkductforstructuralissues.)
IFVENTHASAIRFLOW
Removeexteriorvent,louvers,ortapeopentrapdoorsothebrushwillnotdamagetheoutsidewhenitreaches
theendofthevent.
CLEANINGTHEDRYERDUCT–OPTION1(ENTERINGTHEDUCTFROMTHEOUTSIDEUSINGSHOP‐VACINSIDE)
