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.
