Installation Instructions

Safety Information

Risk of Injury

The dryer is very heavy so you shouldn’t try to

lift it alone.

Do not lift the dryer by grasping any of the

protruding parts, e.g. the jog dial or the door,

they may break off.

Risk of Falling or Tripping Up

Ensure there are no loose hoses or cables.

Check the dryer for damage occurred

during transportation.

Do not connect the dryer if it has visible signs of

damage.

If you are not confident, contact your local LG

agent. Always empty the dryer completely

before transporting it.

Stacking Installation Instructions

Your LG dryer can be placed on top of a front loading washing machine and securely fixed with a stacking

kit (see following page for instructions). This installation must be conducted by an experienced installer to

ensure it has been installed correctly.

An installer will ensure you have the correct stacking kit for your model of washing machine and will

ensure it is firmly fixed. For these reasons, expert fitting is essential.

The following instructions will guide you through the initial steps of setting up your dryer.

Please note that every section of this manual provides important information regarding the preparation and

use of your dryer, and it is important that you review this entire manual before proceeding with any

installation or use. Be sure to observe all listed warnings and cautions. These installation instructions are

intended for use by qualified installers. Read these installation instructions completely and carefully.

Your dryer should not be located near to a gas

hob, cooker, heater or grill, as flames from the

burners could damage your dryer. When the dryer

is fitted beneath a work surface, allow

30cm~50cm space at either side of the dryer and

at the back of the dryer to allow air to exit the rear

grille. This air flow is critical for condensation of

water during the drying process.

If you use this dryer near or stacked on top of

your washing machine, separate main plugs and

sockets must be used for each appliance.

Do not use 2-way adaptor or extension lead.

You can stack the dryer on top your washing

machine to save space. A stacking kit is available

from your local appliance specialist.

nstallation Instructions

CAUTION

CAUTION Concerning the power cord

Most appliances recommend they be placed upon a dedicated circuit; that is, a single outlet circuit which

powers only that appliance and has no additional outlets or branch circuits. Check the specification page of

this owner's manual to be certain.

Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed

power cords, or damaged or cracked wire insulations are dangerous. Any of these could result in and electric

shock or fire. Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage or

deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance, and have the cord replaced with an exact

replacement part by an authorized servicer.

Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, trapped in a door,

or walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits the appli-

ance.
