Stacking Instructions

Your dryer can be placed on top of an LG washing machine and securely fixed with a stacking kit. This installation must be conducted by qualified service personnel to ensure it has been installed correctly.

Stacking Kit

In order to stack this dryer, an LG stacking kit is required.

Installation Procedure

WARNING

• Incorrect installation can cause serious accidents.

• The weight of the appliance and the height of installation make the stacking procedure too risky for one person. This procedure should be performed by two or more qualified service personnel.

• The appliance is not suitable for a built-in installation. Please do not install as a built-in appliance.

• Do not operate if the appliance is not properly stacked.

Place the LG dryer on the LG washing

machine.

Page 15

Remove the two screws from the bottom of the

rear cover on each side as illustrated below.

Align the stacking kit holes and the rear cover

holes.

• 3-1) 600 mm

• 3-2) 550 mm

Fasten the two screws that were removed

earlier from the dryer to the stacking kit.

Separate the anti-backflow lid(a) and the

water container hose(b) from the connecting kit.

Attach the anti-backflow lid(a) to the head of

the connecting kit and then connect the drain hose(c) to the opposite side of the connecting kit.

CAUTION

• If the hose is installed in a way that leaves it bent or pinched, drainage may not function properly.

Use the four screws in the accessory box (16

mm) to assemble the washing machine rear cover and stacking kit.

The procedure for the opposite side will be the

same.

Installing the Drain Hose

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:

NOTE

• It is possible to install the drain hose even if the appliance is not stacked on the washing machine.

OPERATION

Operation Overview

Using the Appliance

Before the first cycle, set the appliance to dry for five minutes to warm up the drum. Open the door between loads the first few times you use the appliance to allow any odours from the interior of the appliance to disperse.

Ensure the lint filter and water container are

clean.

• The lint filter is inside the door rim. It needs to be cleaned before each drying cycle.

• Open the door and ensure the lint filter is clean. If it is not, please clean the lint filter.

WARNING

• Do not drink the condensed water.

NOTE

• In some instances, LED window may display

E (Empty water symbol) and the appliance may stop because the water container is full.

Place laundry into the drum after sorting.

• The clothes should be sorted by fabric type and dryness level and all the strings and belts of clothes should be well tied and fixed before being put into the drum.

Sorting Laundry

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 appliance.

Woollens

• Dry woollens on the Wool programme. Be sure to follow fabric care label symbols first. Wool may not be completely dried from the cycle, so do not repeat drying. Pull woollens to their original shape and dry them flat.
