Ultra big Capacity Drum

The Ultra big 8.0kg 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.

Dryers to Use

The wide, electronically controlled LED display on this machine
is very easy to use. Simply select the programme you require

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. or the jog dial or the door.
they may break off.

Risk of Tripping

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.

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 insulation are dangerous. Any of these could result in 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 appli­ance.

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 15mm
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 of
washing machine to save space. A stacking kit is
available from your local shop.

Ventilation Grille and Cool Air
Inlet Grille

Vacuum the front ventilation grille 3-4 times a year to
make sure there is no build up of lint or dirt that
could cause improper air flow

Note

- Warm air is exhausted through the venti­lation grill

- Adequate ventilation has to be provided
to avoid the back flow of gases into the
room from appliance’s burning other
fuels, including open fires.

3. Connect

drain hose
to the kit.

Moisture Sensor?

The device senses the moisture level of the
laundry during operation, which means it must
be cleaned regularly to remove any build up of
lime scale on the surface of the sensor. Wipe
the sensors inside drum (as illustrated)

Caring for Your Dryer

Condensed Water Drain-out

Normally, condensed water is pumped up to the water
container where water is collected until manually emp­tied. Water can also be drained out directly to a mains
drain, especially when the dryer is stacked on top of a
washing machine. With a connecting kit for a mains
drain hose, simply change the water path and reroute
to the drainage facility as below:

1. Take

connecting
kit out.

2. Separate

- Energy consumption might not be the same as the value in the “Energy Consumption” table by spin rpm

WOOLLENS

Dry woollens on ‘’wool’’ cycle. Be sure to follow
fabric care label "symbols", first. Wool is not
completely dried from the program so don't repeat
drying. Pull woolens to their original shape and dry
them flat.

Woven and Loopknit Materials

Some woven and loop knit materials may shrink,
depending on quality

Permanent Press and Synthetics

Do not overload your dryer. Take out permanent press
items as soon as the dryer stops to reduce creases.

Baby Clothes and Night Gowns

Always check the manufacturer’s instructions.

Rubber and Plastics

Additional Tips for Smart Use

Do not dry any items made from or containing
rubber or plastics such as:
a) Aprons, Bibs and Chair Covers
b) Curtains and Table Clothes
c) Bathmats

FIBREGLASS

Do not dry fiberglass articles in your dryer.
Glass particles left in the dryer could be picked up
by your clothes the next time you use the dryer and
irritate your skin.

Fabric Care Labels

Clothes have their own wash care labels, so drying
according to the wash care label is recommended.
Not only that, the laundry must be sorted according
to size and fabric type.
For the best drying performance and most efficient
energy usage, do not overload the dryer.

The drying time for a load will vary depending on the heat setting, the size of the load,
the type of fabrics, the wetness of the clothes and the condition of the lint filter.

Check if the door or seal cover is dirty or damaged

Check the laundry is not overloaded. Try a shorter drying time and remove items
