Installation Spacing for Recessed Area or Closet Installation

The following clearances are recommended for this dryer. This dryer has been tested for clearances of 1 inch
(2.5 cm) on the sides and rear. Recommended clearances should be considered for the following reasons:

• Additional clearances should be considered for ease of installation and servicing.

• Additional clearances should be considered on all sides of the dryer to reduce noise transfer. For closet
installation, with a door, minimum ventilation openings in the top and bottom of the door are required. Louvered
doors with equivalent ventilation openings are acceptable.

Closet Ventilation Requirements

Closets with doors must have both an upper and lower vent to prevent heat and moisture buildup in the closet.
One upper vent opening with a minimum opening of 48 sq. in. (310 cm2) must be installed no lower than 6 feet
above the floor. One lower vent opening with a minimum opening of 24 sq. in. (155 cm2) must be installed no
more than one foot above the floor. Install vent grills in the door or cut down the door at the top and bottom to
form openings. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are also acceptable.

NOTE

• There should be at least a little space around the dryer (or any other appliance) to eliminate the transfer of
vibration from one appliance to another. If there is enough vibration, it could cause appliances to make noise or
come into contact, causing paint damage and further increasing noise.

with the following tests and Installation Test (Duct
Check).

Testing Dryer Heating

GAS MODELS

Close the dryer door and press the Power button
to turn the dryer on. Press the Time Dry and Start/
Pause buttons to start the test. 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 and press the Power button
to turn the dryer on. Press the Time Dry and Start/
Pause buttons to start the test. 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 inch (1.5 cm).
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 four leveling feet
are in firm contact with the floor.

29INSTALLATION

Installation Test (Duct Check)

Once you have completed the installation of the
dryer, use this test to make sure the condition of the
exhaust system is adequate for proper operation of
the dryer. This test should be performed to alert you
to any serious problems in the exhaust system of
your home.

• Your dryer features Flow Sense™, an innovative
sensing system that automatically detects
blockages and restrictions in dryer ductwork.
Keeping ductwork clean of lint buildup and free of
restrictions allows clothes to dry faster and reduces
energy use.

NOTE

• The dryer should be cool before starting this test. If
the dryer was warmed up during installation, run the
Air Dry cycle for a few minutes to reduce the interior
temperature.

Activating the Installation Test

30 INSTALLATION

Check the Duct Condition

If the Flow Sense™ LED is turned on, check the
exhaust system for restrictions and damage. Repair
or replace the exhaust system as needed.

NOTE

• When the dryer is first installed, this test should be
performed to alert you to any existing problems with
the exhaust duct in your home. However, since the
test performed during normal operation provides
more accurate information on the condition of the
exhaust duct than the installation test, the number
of bars displayed during the two tests may not be
the same.

• Do not interrupt the test cycle, as this could result in
inaccurate results.

• Even if no bars are displayed during the test cycle,
some restrictions may still be present in the exhaust
system. Refer to the Venting the Dryer section
of this manual for complete exhaust system and
venting requirements.

• Your dryer features Flow Sense™, an innovative
sensing system that automatically detects
blockages and restrictions in the dryer ductwork.
Keeping ductwork clean of lint buildup and free of

Begin Cycle

Press the Start/Pause button to begin the cycle. The cycle can be paused at
any time either by opening the door or by pressing the Start/Pause button. If
the cycle is not restarted within 60 minutes of being paused, the dryer will shut
off and the settings will be lost.

When the cycle is finished, the chime will sound. Immediately remove your
clothing from the dryer to reduce wrinkling. If Wrinkle Care is selected, the dryer
will tumble briefly every few minutes to help prevent wrinkles from setting in the
clothes.

33OPERATION

Check the Lint Filter Before Every Load

Always make sure the lint filter is clean before
starting a new load; a clogged lint filter will increase
drying time. To clean, pull the lint filter straight up and
roll any lint off the filter with your fingers. Push the lint
filter firmly back into place. See Regular Cleaning
for more information.

Always ensure the lint filter is properly installed
before running the dryer. Running the dryer with a
loose or missing lint filter will damage the dryer and
articles in the dryer.

Loading the Dryer

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric
shock, injury to persons, and death when
using this appliance, follow basic precautions,
including the following:

• Check all pockets to make sure that they are
empty. Items such as clips, pens, coins, and
keys can damage both the dryer and your
clothes. Flammable objects such as lighters or
matches could ignite, causing a fire.

• Never dry clothes that have been exposed to
oil, gasoline, or other flammable substances.
Washing clothes will not completely remove oil
residues.

NOTE
Loading Tips

• Combine large and small items in the same load.

• Damp clothes will expand as they dry. Do not
overload the dryer; clothes require room to tumble
and dry properly.

• Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent
these items from snagging or tangling on other
clothes.

Simply select the Steam Fresh™ cycle, or add a
steam option to selected cycles.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury, death,
explosion, or fire, follow basic safety
precautions, including the following:

• Do not open the dryer door during steam cycles.

• Do not touch the steam nozzle in the drum

during or after the steam cycle.

The Steam Sanitary™ Cycle

non-washable items quickly and easily using the
power of steam.

Use this cycle for cotton and polyester material.
(Do NOT use for urethane foam, down feathers or
delicate items).

The Steam Fresh™ Cycle

Steam Fresh™ uses the power of steam to quickly
reduce wrinkles and odors in fabrics. It brings new
life to wrinkled clothes that have been stored for an
extended time and makes heavily wrinkled clothes
easier to iron. Steam Fresh™ can also be used to
help reduce odors in fabrics.

The Steam Options

The Reduce Static option injects steam late in the
drying cycle to reduce the static electricity caused by
dry fabrics rubbing together.

NOTE

• When Sensor Dry is selected with the Reduce
Static option, a Dry level of Less or Damp cannot be
selected.

MAINTENANCE

Regular Cleaning

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
injury to persons, or death when using this
appliance, follow basic precautions, including
the following:

• Unplug the dryer before cleaning.

• Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners,

or solvents to clean the washer. They will
damage the finish.

Cleaning the Exterior

Proper care of your dryer can extend its life. The
outside of the machine can be cleaned with warm
water and a mild, nonabrasive household detergent.
Immediately wipe off any spills with a soft, damp
cloth.

NOTE

• Do not use methylated spirits, solvents, or similar
products.

• Never use steel wool or abrasive cleansers; they
can damage the surface.

Maintaining Ductwork

Vent ductwork should be checked for lint buildup
once per month and cleaned at least once per
year. If any noticeable reduction in airflow or drying
performance occurs, immediately check ductwork
for obstructions and blockages. Contact a qualified
technician or service provider.

Cleaning the Lint Filter

Always clean the lint from the filter after every cycle.

Lint Filter

To clean the lint filter, open the dryer door and pull
the lint filter straight up. Then:

For everyday cleaning, roll any lint off the filter

with your fingers, or

ENGLISH

Cleaning the Interior

Wipe around the door opening and seal with a soft,
damp cloth to prevent lint and dust buildup that could
damage the door seal.

Clean the window with a soft cloth dampened with
warm water and a mild, nonabrasive household
detergent, then wipe dry.

The stainless steel drum can be cleaned with a
conventional stainless steel cleaner, used according
to the manufacturer’s specifications. Never use steel
wool or abrasive cleansers; they may scratch or
damage the surface.

Cleaning Around and Under the
Dryer

Vacuum lint and dust from around the dryer and
underneath it regularly. Vent ductwork should be
checked for lint buildup and cleaned at least once per

50 TROUBLESHOOTING

TROUBLESHOOTING

FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When I press a button, why does my dryer beep and then nothing happens?

A: The Control Lock feature is turned on. To turn off Control Lock, turn the dryer on, then press and hold

the button that has *Control Lock on or under it for 3 seconds.

Q: Why does my dryer take so long to dry clothes?

A: Proper airflow is critical to the efficient operation of clothes dryers. A lint filter which is full of lint or

clogged with fabric softener sheet residue can reduce the airflow to the point that the time required
to dry clothing will be greatly increased. Another factor affecting dry time is your home exhaust
system. An exhaust system which is dirty and clogged with lint, or is excessively long, needs to be
professionally cleaned or repaired.

Q: Why does my dryer start by itself every few minutes?

A: This is how the Wrinkle Care feature works. The dryer runs briefly every few minutes for up to 3

hours after the cycle finishes. This feature is designed to help prevent wrinkles from setting in when
the dryer is not unloaded immediately after the cycle is finished.

Q: Why does my dryer show 3 minutes when I select the Steam Fresh™ cycle?

A: When the Steam Fresh™ cycle is selected, the dryer displays the recommended number of garments

for the cycle, not the estimated cycle time, until the cycle is started. Use the More Time or Less
Time buttons to adjust the load size setting for the number of garments you desire. For a large load
or single bulky item use the (big) setting.

call for service.

• Make sure that the plug is securely plugged into a
grounded outlet matching the dryer’s rating plate.

• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase
fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have
it corrected by a qualified electrician.

• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase
fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have
it corrected by a qualified electrician.

• NOTE: Due to the design of electric dryers, it is
possible for a circuit problem to allow an electric dryer
to run without heat.

• Confirm that the house gas shutoff and the dryer gas
shutoff valves are both fully open. Even if gas is not
supplied to the dryer, it will run and no error codes will
display. Verify that other gas appliances in the home
are working normally.

• If using the Normal cycle, deselect the ENERGY
SAVER option. The Energy Saver option is selected by
default. This option reduces energy use by adding an
air dry section to the beginning of the cycle. It is normal
to feel no heat at the beginning of the cycle while in
ENERGY SAVER mode.

• Confirm that the exhaust duct is properly configured
and free of debris, lint, and obstructions. Make sure that
outside wall dampers can open properly and are not
blocked, jammed, or damaged.

• Separate heavy items from lightweight items. Larger
and heavier items take longer to dry. Light items in a
load with heavy items can fool the sensor because the
light items dry faster.

• Check the power supply or the connection of the power
cord to the terminal block.

• Confirm that house gas shutoff and the dryer gas
shutoff are both fully open.

• Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load
you are drying. Some loads may require an adjustment
of the dry level setting for proper drying.

• Remove the lint from the filter before every load. With
the lint removed, hold the filter up to a light to see if it
is dirty or clogged. With some loads that produce high
amounts of lint, such as new bath towels, it may be
necessary to pause the cycle and clean the filter during
the cycle.

• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase
fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have
it corrected by a qualified electrician.

• NOTE: Due to the design of electric dryers, it is
possible for a circuit problem to allow an electric dryer
to run without heat.

• Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for better
drying performance and efficiency.

• If you are drying a very small load, add a few extra
items to ensure proper tumbling action. If the load is
very small and you are using SENSOR DRY cycles, the
electronic control cannot properly sense the dryness of
the load and may shut off too soon. Use TIME DRY or
add some extra wet clothes to the load.

• If using the Normal cycle, deselect the ENERGY
SAVER option. This option reduces energy use by
adding an air dry section to the beginning of the cycle.

• The drying time for a load will vary depending on the
type of heat used (electric, natural gas, or LP gas),
the size of the load, the type of fabrics, the wetness of
the clothes, and the condition of the exhaust duct and
lint filter. Even an unbalanced load in the washer can
cause poor spinning, resulting in wetter clothes which
will take longer to dry.

• Confirm and follow the instructions provided with your
fabric softener.

• Use your dryer to dry only clean items. Soil from dirty
clothes can transfer to the clean clothes in the same or
later loads.

• Stains on dried clothes could be stains that were not
removed during the washing process. Make sure
that clothes are being completely cleaned or rinsed
according to the instructions for your washer and
detergent. Some difficult soils may require pre-treating
prior to washing.

• Over drying a load of laundry can lead to wrinkled
clothes. Try a shorter drying time or LESS DRY setting
and remove items while they still retain a slight amount
of moisture.

• Use the WRINKLE CARE option. This feature will
tumble the clothes briefly every few minutes for up to 3
hours to help prevent wrinkling.

• To avoid shrinking your clothes, always consult and
follow fabric care instructions. Some fabrics will
naturally shrink when washed. Other fabrics can be
washed but will shrink when dried in a dryer. Use a low
or no heat setting.

• Remove the lint from the filter before every load. With
the lint removed, hold the filter up to a light to see if it
is dirty or clogged. If it looks dirty, follow the cleaning
instructions. With some loads that produce high
amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the filter
during the cycle.

• Some fabrics are lint producers (i.e., a fuzzy white
cotton towel) and should be dried separately from
clothes that are lint trappers (i.e., a pair of black linen
pants).

• Use a fabric softener to reduce static electricity. Be sure
to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Overdrying a
load of laundry can cause a buildup of static electricity.
Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time, or use
SENSOR DRY cycles.

• Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying
clothes.

Problem Possible Cause Solutions

• Use a fabric softener or the REDUCE STATIC option, if
equipped, to reduce static electricity. Be sure to follow
the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a buildup of
static electricity. Adjust settings and use a shorter
drying time, or use MANUAL DRY cycles. Select
a LESS DRY setting on SENSOR DRY cycles, if
necessary.

• These fabrics are naturally more prone to static buildup.
Try using fabric softener, or use LESS DRY and/or
shorter TIME DRY time settings.

• If items are too tightly packed or too sparse the sensor
may have trouble reading the dryness level of the load.
Use a TIME DRY cycle for very small loads.

• Large, bulky items such as blankets or comforters can
sometimes wrap themselves into a tight ball of fabric.
The outside layers will dry and register on the sensors,
while the inner core remains damp. When drying a
single bulky item, it may help to pause the cycle once
or twice and rearrange the item to unwrap and expose
any damp areas.

• To dry a few remaining damp items from a very large
load or a few damp spots on a large item after a sensor
cycle has completed, empty the lint trap, then set a
TIME DRY cycle to finish drying the item(s).

• Delete your home Wi-Fi network and begin the
registration process again.

• Turn off the Mobile data on your smartphone before
registering the appliance.

• The wireless network name (SSID) should be a
combination of English letters and numbers. (Do not
use special characters.)

• Only a 2.4 GHz router frequency is supported. Set the
wireless router to 2.4 GHz and connect the appliance
to the wireless router. To check the router frequency,
check with your Internet service provider or the router
manufacturer.

• If the appliance is too far from the router, the signal
may be weak and the connection may not be
configured correctly. Move the router closer to the
appliance or purchase and install a Wi-Fi repeater.

59WARRANTY

PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES:

ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND LG ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY OR THE PRODUCT SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION,
AND NOT IN A COURT OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. BINDING ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU AND LG
ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Definitions. For the purposes of this section, references to “LG” mean LG Electronics U.S.A., Inc., its parents,
subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their officers, directors, employees, agents, beneficiaries, predecessors
in interest, successors, assigns and suppliers; references to “dispute” or “claim” shall include any dispute,
claim or controversy of any kind whatsoever (whether based in contract, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance,
fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal or equitable theory) arising out of or relating in any way to the sale,
condition or performance of the product or this Limited Warranty.

Notice of Dispute. In the event you intend to commence an arbitration proceeding, you must first notify LG in
writing at least 30 days in advance of initiating the arbitration by sending a letter to LG at LG Electronics, USA,
Inc. Attn: Legal Department- Arbitration 1000 Sylvan Ave, Englewood Cliffs 07632. You and LG agree to engage
in good faith discussions in an attempt to amicably resolve your claim. The notice must provide your name,
address, and telephone number; identify the product that is the subject of the claim; and describe the nature of
the claim and the relief being sought. If you and LG are unable to resolve the dispute within 30 days, either party
may proceed to file a claim for arbitration.

Agreement to Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. Upon failure to resolve the dispute during the 30
day period after sending written notice to LG, you and LG agree to resolve any claims between us only by
binding arbitration on an individual basis, unless you opt out as provided below. Any dispute between you and
LG shall not be combined or consolidated with a dispute involving any other person’s or entity’s product or
claim. More specifically, without limitation of the foregoing, any dispute between you and LG shall not under any
circumstances proceed as part of a class or representative action. Instead of arbitration, either party may bring
an individual action in small claims court, but that small claims court action may not be brought on a class or
representative basis.

Arbitration Rules and Procedures. To begin arbitration of a claim, either you or LG must make a written demand
for arbitration. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and will be
conducted before a single arbitrator under the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules that are in effect at the time
the arbitration is initiated (referred to as the “AAA Rules”) and under the procedures set forth in this section. The
AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org/consumer. Send a copy of your written demand for arbitration,
as well as a copy of this provision, to the AAA in the manner described in the AAA Rules. You must also send
a copy of your written demand to LG at LG Electronics, USA, Inc. Attn: Legal Department- Arbitration 1000
Sylvan Avenue Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632. If there is a conflict between the AAA Rules and the rules set forth
in this section, the rules set forth in this section will govern. This arbitration provision is governed by the Federal
Arbitration Act. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court of competent jurisdiction. All
issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration
provision and to the arbitrability of the dispute are for the court to decide. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of
this provision.

Governing Law. The law of the state of your residence shall govern this Limited Warranty and any disputes
between us except to the extent that such law is preempted by or inconsistent with applicable federal law.

Fees/Costs. You do not need to pay any fee to begin an arbitration. Upon receipt of your written demand for
arbitration, LG will promptly pay all arbitration filing fees to the AAA unless you seek more than $25,000 in
damages, in which case the payment of these fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Except as otherwise
provided for herein, LG will pay all AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in
accordance with the AAA Rules and this arbitration provision. If you prevail in the arbitration, LG will pay your
attorneys’ fees and expenses as long as they are reasonable, by considering factors including, but not limited to,
the purchase amount and claim amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if applicable law allows for an award of
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, an arbitrator can award them to the same extent that a court would. If
the arbitrator finds either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the demand is frivolous or brought for
an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the
payment of all arbitration fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such a situation, you agree to reimburse LG

5INSTRUCCIONES DE SEGURIDAD

ESPAÑOL

6 INSTRUCCIONES DE SEGURIDAD

• Para una instalación en el garaje, coloque la secadora a un altura mínima de 18 pulgadas sobre el piso.

• No utilice tornillos para chapa metálica ni ningún otro tipo de sujetadores que se extiendan dentro del
conducto y puedan atrapar pelusa, y, así, reducir la eficiencia del sistema de escape. Asegure todas las
uniones con cinta adhesiva para conductos.

• Utilice únicamente conductos metálicos rigidos, semi-rigidos o flexibles de 4 pulgadas de diametro
dentro del gabinete de la secadora o para el escape al exterior. El uso de conductos plásticos o de otros
combustibles podría causar un incendio. Un conducto perforado podría causar un incendio si llegase a
colapsar o si llegara a restringirse durante el uso o la instalación.

• El conducto de escape deberá tener 4 pulgadas (10,2 cm) de diámetro sin obstrucciones. El conducto de
escape deberá mantenerse lo más corto posible. Asegúrese de limpiar los conductos antiguos antes de
instalar su secadora nueva.

• Se recomienda el uso de conductos rígidos, semirrígidos o flexibles entre la secadora y la pared. Todos
los conductos metálicos de transición que no sean rígidos deben estar aprobados por UL. El uso de otros
materiales para el conducto de transición afectará el tiempo de secado.

• No se suministran los conductos con la secadora; deberá obtenerlos en su localidad. La tapa terminal
deberá tener reguladores de tiro con bisagras para prevenir una contracorriente de aire cuando no se use
la secadora.

• Las secadoras de gas DEBEN tener escape al exterior.

• El sistema de escape de la secadora debe tener salida al exterior de la vivienda. Si la secadora no tiene
salida al exterior, se expulsará pelusa fina y grandes cantidades de humedad al área de lavado. Una
acumulación de pelusa en cualquier parte de la casa puede crear riesgos para la salud y peligro de
incendio.

• No instale la secadora cerca de un elemento que genere calor, como una estufa, un horno o un calentador.

• Mantenga el área alrededor de la abertura de escape y las áreas adyacentes libres de acumulación de
pelusa, polvo y tierra.

• El electrodoméstico no debe ser suministrado a través de un interruptor externo, como un temporizador, o
conectado a un circuito que sea encendido y apagado regularmente.

FUNCIONAMIENTO

• Repare o reemplace de inmediato todos los cables de alimentación deshilachados o dañados de otra
forma. No use un cable que exhiba roturas o abrasión en su longitud o en sus extremos.

• Si detecta un sonido extraño, olor a quemado o a químico, o humo provenientes del artefacto, desconéctelo
de inmediato y contáctese con un Centro de Información al Cliente de LG Electronics.

• Nunca desconecte el artefacto tirando del cable de alimentación. Sujete siempre con firmeza el enchufe y
tire derecho para extraerlo del tomacorriente.

• No use un cable de extensión ni un adaptador con este artefacto.

• No sujete el cable de alimentación ni toque los controles del artefacto con las manos húmedas.

• No modifique ni extienda el cable de alimentación.

• Si el producto se ha mojado accidentalmente, comuníquese con el Centro de Información al Cliente de LG
Electronics para que le den instrucciones antes de reanudar el uso.

• No almacene ni use gasolina u otros líquidos o vapores inflamables cerca de este artefacto ni de ningún
otro.

• Mantenga el área debajo de los artefactos y sus alrededores libre de materiales combustibles (pelusa,
papel, trapos, etc.), gasolina, productos químicos y otros vapores o líquidos inflamables.

• Este artefacto no ha sido diseñado para ser utilizado por personas con capacidades físicas, sensoriales o
mentales disminuidas (incluidos niños) o que no cuenten con la experiencia o los conocimientos necesarios
para operarlo, salvo que una persona responsable de su seguridad les brinde la supervisión o la instrucción
pertinente en cuanto al uso del artefacto.

• Lea todas las instrucciones antes de usar el artefacto y consérvelas.

• Use el artefacto únicamente para el fin previsto.

• No permita que los niños jueguen con el artefacto. Es necesario supervisar atentamente a los niños cuando
el artefacto esté en funcionamiento cerca de ellos.

• No utilice indebidamente los controles.

• En el caso de que se produzca una fuga de gas (gas propano, gas licuado de petróleo, etc.), no ponga
en funcionamiento este artefacto ni ningún otro. Abra una puerta o una ventana para ventilar el área de
inmediato.

• Bajo ciertas condiciones, podría producirse gas hidrógeno en un sistema de agua caliente que no ha sido
utilizado por dos semanas o más. EL GAS HIDRÓGENO ES EXPLOSIVO. Si el sistema de agua caliente
no se ha usado durante ese período de tiempo, abra todas las llaves de agua caliente y deje que fluya
varios minutos antes de usar el artefacto. Esto eliminará el gas hidrógeno acumulado. Dado que el gas
hidrógeno es inflamable, no fume ni use ninguna llama abierta durante este proceso.

• Fije la manguera de desagüe en su sitio de manera segura.

• No coloque prendas aceitosas o grasosas, candelas o materiales inflamables encima del artefacto.

• No use suavizantes para telas ni productos para eliminar estática a menos que hayan sido recomendados
por el fabricante del suavizante o del producto.

• No introduzca las manos en la secadora cuando el tambor esté en movimiento.

• No seque artículos que hayan sido previamente limpiados, lavados o manchados con gasolina, solventes
de limpieza en seco, aceite vegetal, aceite de cocina u otras sustancias inflamables o explosivas, ni
artículos a los cuales se haya sumergido en estos productos o que se hayan ensuciado con estas
sustancias, ya que estas emiten vapores que pueden inflamarse o explotar.

• No use calor para secar prendas que contengan espuma de caucho o materiales de textura similar al
caucho.

• No guarde plásticos, papel o ropa que puedan quemarse o derretirse sobre la secadora en funcionamiento.

• Siempre revise el interior del aparato para verificar que no haya objetos extraños.

• Los aparatos de gas pueden causar una exposición leve a cuatro sustancias potencialmente dañinas, a
saber, benceno, monóxido de carbono, formaldehído y hollín, generado principalmente por la combustión
parcial del gas natural o combustibles licuados del petróleo.

• Las secadoras correctamente calibradas minimizarán la combustión incompleta. Para minimizar aún más la
exposición a estas sustancias, se puede dotar a la secadora de la ventilación adecuada al exterior.

Prueba de instalación (Revisión de conductos)

Después de completar la instalación de la secadora,
haga esta prueba para asegurarse de que las
condiciones del sistema de escape sean las adecuadas
para el funcionamiento correcto de la secadora. Esta
prueba debe realizarse para identificar si existe algún
problema grave en el sistema de escape de su casa.

• Su secadora cuenta con Flow Sense™, un sistema
innovador que detecta automáticamente los bloqueos
y las restricciones en los conductos de la secadora.
Mantener los conductos sin acumulación de pelusa y
sin restricciones le permitirá secar la ropa más rápido y
reducir el uso de energía.

NOTA

• La secadora debe estar fría antes de comenzar esta
prueba. Si la secadora se calentó durante la instalación,
ejecute el ciclo de SECADO POR AIRE durante unos
minutos para reducir la temperatura interna.

Activación de la prueba de instalación

Retire la rejilla de secado y la documentación, y

1

cierre la puerta.

No cargue nada en el tambor para hacer esta
prueba, ya que podría influir en la precisión de los
resultados.

Presione el botón de START/PAUSE.

3

La secadora iniciará la prueba, la cual durará
algunos minutos. El calentador estará encendido y
se medirán las temperaturas en el tambor.

Verifique la pantalla para ver los resultados.

4

Observe la pantalla Flow Sense™ en el panel
de control durante el ciclo de prueba. Si cuando
finalice el ciclo la luz LED Flow Sense™ no está
encendida, el sistema de escape es adecuado. Si el
sistema de escape está muy restringido, la luz LED
Flow Sense™ estará encendida. También podrían
reflejarse otros problemas con códigos de error. Vea
el cuadro a continuación para encontrar detalles y
soluciones relacionados a los códigos de error.

Verifique las condiciones del conducto

Si el LED de Flow Sense™ está encendido, revise
el sistema de escape para verificar que no haya
restricciones ni daños. Repare o reemplace el sistema de
escape según sea necesario.

NOTA

• Cuando recién se instale la secadora, debe realizarse
esta prueba para identificar la presencia de cualquier
problema relacionado con el conducto de escape de
su casa. Sin embargo, puesto que la prueba realizada
durante un funcionamiento normal ofrece información
más precisa sobre el estado del conducto de escape
que la prueba de instalación, la cantidad de barras
visualizadas durante las dos pruebas puede no ser la
misma.

• No interrumpa el ciclo de prueba, ya que si lo hace, la
prueba puede arrojar resultados inexactos.

• Aunque no se haya visualizado ninguna barra durante
el ciclo de prueba, aún puede haber restricciones en el
sistema de escape. Consulte la sección Ventilación de
la secadora de este manual para obtener detalles sobre
el sistema de escape y los requisitos de ventilación.
