Big Capacity Drum
The Big Capacity drum on this LG Dryer allows you to dry your
washing in larger loads than ever before.
Lower Energy Consumption
LG dryers use less energy than conventional dryers due to the
cutting-edge technology we have applied to the drying system
and to the heat control mechanism. This LG Dryer has been
designed to save you money.
Reduced drying times
Drying times are now shorter due to the efficient air flow
mechanism and optimised heater on this LG Dryer.
Reduced noise levels
We have reduced the operating noise of this LG Dryer by
using innovative sound-absorbing and noise-screening
technologies, making it much quieter than conventional
dryers.

nstallation Instructions
I
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.
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
Installation Instructions
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.
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 of your washing
machine to save space. A stacking kit is available
from your local appliance specialist.
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 an 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 authorised 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 appliance.
