READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
wWARNING For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, injury to persons, or death.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
wWARNING: To reduce the risk of injury to persons , follow all industry recommended safety procedures including the use of long sleeved gloves and safety glasses. Failure to follow all of the safety warnings in this manual could result in property damage, injury to persons or death.
Exhaust/Ducting:
•Gas dryers MUST be exhausted to the outside. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.
•The dryer exhaust system must be exhausted to the outside of the dwelling. If the dryer is not exhausted outdoors, some fine lint and large amounts of moisture will be expelled into the laundry area. An accumulation of
lint in any area of the home can create a health and fire hazard.
•Use only rigid metal or flexible metal 4-inch diameter ductwork inside the dryer cabinet or for exhausting to the outside. Use of plastic or other combustible ductwork can cause a fire. Punctured ductwork can cause a fire if it collapses or becomes otherwise restricted in use or during installation.
•Ductwork is not provided with the dryer, and you should obtain the necessary ductwork locally. The end cap should have hinged dampers to prevent backdraft when the dryer is not in use. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.
•The exhaust duct must be 4 inches
(10.2 cm) in diameter with no obstructions. The exhaust duct should be kept as short as possible. Make sure to clean any old ducts before installing your new dryer. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.
•Rigid or semi-rigid metal ducting is recommended for use between the dryer and the wall. In special installations
when it is impossible to make a connection with the above recommendations, a ULlisted flexible metal transition duct may be used between the dryer and wall connection only. The use of this ducting will affect drying time. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.
•DO NOT use sheet metal screws or other fasteners which extend into the duct that could catch lint and reduce the efficiency of the exhaust system. Secure all joints with duct tape. For complete details, follow the Installation Instructions. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR STEAM FUNCTIONS

FINAL INSTALLATION CHECK
Once you have completed the installation of the dryer and it is in its final location, confirm proper operation with the following tests and Duct Condition Testing on the following page.
Testing Dryer Heating
GAS MODELS
Close the dryer door, press the ON/OFF switch to turn the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting. When the dryer starts, the igniter should ignite the main burner.
NOTE: If all air is not purged from the gas line, the gas igniter may turn off before the main burner ignites. If this happens, the igniter will reattempt gas ignition after approximately
two minutes.
ELECTRIC MODELS
Close the dryer door, press the ON/OFF switch to turn the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting. The exhaust air should be warm after the dryer has been operating for 3 minutes.
Checking Airflow
Effective dryer operation requires proper airflow. The adequacy of the airflow can be measured by evaluating the static pressure. Static pressure in the exhaust duct can be measured with
a manometer, placed on the exhaust duct approximately 2 ft. (60.9 cm) from the dryer. Static pressure in the exhaust duct should not exceed 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) of water column. The dryer should be checked while the dryer is running with no load.
Checking Levelness
Once the dryer is in its final location, recheck the dryer to be sure it is level. Make sure it is level front to back and side to side, and that all 4 leveling feet are firmly on the floor.

Sensor Dry Cycles
Sensor Dry cycles utilize LG’s unique dual sensor system to detect and compare the moisture level in clothes and in the air and adjust the drying time as needed to ensure superior results. The dryer automatically sets the dryness level and temperature at the recommended setting for each cycle. The estimated time remaining will
be shown in the display.
NOTE: To protect your garments not every dryness level, temperature, or option is available with every cycle.
See the Cycle Guide for details.
Manual Dry Cycles
Use Manual Dry cycles to select a specific amount of drying time and a drying temperature. When a Manual Dry cycle is selected, the ESTIMATED TIME REMAINING display shows the actual time remaining in your cycle. You can change the actual time in the cycle by pressing MORE TIME or LESS TIME.
