I nstallation Instructions

The following instructions will guide you through the initial steps of installing your dryer.

Please note that every section of this manual provides important information regarding the installing 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 Tripping

Risk of tripping caused by hoses hanging down or cables. 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 sure, contact your local agent. Always empty the dryer completely

before transporting it.

Your dryer should not be located near gas hob, cooker, heater or eye level grill as flames from the burners could cause damage to your dryer. When the dryer is fitted under a work surface, allow 15 mm space from each side of the dryer for air to exit the rear grille. This airflow is critical to condense the water during drying.

If you use this dryer near or stacked on top of a washing machine, separate main plugs and sockets must be used for each appliance.

Do not use 2-way adaptor or extension socket.

You can stack the dryer on top of washing machine to save the space. A stacking kit is available from your local shop.

Stacking Installation Instructions

The LG Dryer can be placed on the top of a front loading washing machine. They are to be fixed with stacking kit (See the next page). This installation must be conducted by an experienced installer to ensure both washer and dryer are properly fixed together. If this work is done carelessly, dryer may fall off during operation.

More importantly, certain washer model has matching dryer for stacking, please check with local agent for advice.

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 conditions 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, pinched, closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits the appliance.
