Installation Instructions
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
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.
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.
■ 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.
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 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.

Caring for Your Dryer
■ Ventilation Grill and Cool Air
Inlet Grill
Vacuum the front ventilation grill 3-4 times a
year to make sure there is no build up of lint
or dirt that may cause improper air flow.
NOTE
- Warm air is exhausted through the
ventilation grill.
- Adequate ventilation should be
provided to avoid the back flow of
gases into the room from units
burning other fuels, such as open
fires.
■ 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 the mains drain
hose, simply change the water path and
re-route to the drainage facility as below:
1. Take
connecting
kit out.
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)
2. Separate
water

Additional Tips for Smart Use
Woollens
Dry woollens on “wool’’ cycle. Be sure to
follow fabric care label symbols first. Wool
may not be completely dried from the cycle,
so don't repeat drying. Pull woollens to their
original shape and dry them flat.
Woven and Loopknit Materials
Some woven and loopknit 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
Do not dry any items made from or
containing rubber or plastics such as:
a) Aprons, Bibs and Chair Covers
b) Curtains and Table Cloths
c) Bathmats
Fibreglass
Do not dry fibreglass 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 type of fabric.
For the best drying performance and most
efficient energy usage, do not overload the
dryer.
Below are fabric care labels.

Troubleshooting Guide
■ Troubleshooting Tips
To save you time and money, the following page will help answer your questions before
service call.
Issue What to do
Dryer won’t run
1. Check dryer is plugged in.
2. Check "Start/Pause" button is pressed.
3. Check door is properly closed.
4. Check room temperature is not below 5°C.
5. Check a fuse is blown or the circuit breaker is tripped
and replace them. (Caution : electric dryers generally
use two fuses or breakers) After emptying the water
container and cleaning filter during operation, you
must press the Start/Pause button, then the dryer will
operate again.
It takes a long time to dry
Dryer is operating but
“Time Left” in the display
doesn’t change.
Clothes are covered in fluff
The drying time is
not consistent
Water is leaking
The clothes are creased
The garments have shrunk
1. Filter should be cleaned after each load.
2. Check water container is emptied.
3. Select correct cycle setting for fabric type.
4. Check air ventilation grill or rear vents of dryer are not
obstructed.
5. Check clothes are not excessively wet.
6. Check the dryer is not overloaded.
This is not a malfunction.
Drying time is estimated and will recalculate throughout
the cycle as it senses the dryness of the load.
Check filter is clean.
1. Check the filter is clean.
2. Check all the items in the dryer are clean.
3. Check all the laundry has been correctly sorted by
fabric type.
4. Check the dryer is not overloaded.
5. Check if there are any paper, tissues or other
degradable items amongst the laundry and remove.
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 filter.
Check the water hose or drain hose is properly
connected.
Check the dryer is not overloaded. Try a shorter drying
time and remove items whilst they still retain a slight
amount of moisture. Use the anti-crease option.
To avoid shrinkage, please follow the care and use
instructions for your garment, as some fabrics shrink
naturally when washed and should not be placed in a dryer.
Please check the filter is in the dryer.

• If the call centre agent is not able to get
an accurate recording of the data, you
may be asked to try again.

may be present during the transmission,
and the acoustics of the room where the
