outlet.

Technical Safety for Using the Appliance

•Do not dry unwashed items in the appliance.

•Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specied by the fabric softener instructions.

•Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.

•Never stop the appliance before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

•The appliance is not to be used if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.

•Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof

textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or pillows tted with

foam rubber pads should not be dried in the appliance.

•Do not drink the condensed water. Failure to do so may result in food-borne illnesses.

•The lint trap has to be cleaned frequently.

•Lint must not to be allowed to accumulate around the appliance.

•Do not spray dry cleaning detergent directly onto the appliance or use the appliance to dry clothes left with dry cleaning detergent.

•Do not dry clothes stained with oil substances. Oil substances (including edible oils) stained on clothes cannot be completely removed even after washing with water.

•The appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by a utility.

•Remove clothes from the product immediately when drying is complete or the power is turned off during the drying process. Leaving clothes that has been dried in the appliance unattended

could result in re. Clothes removed from the appliance after drying could result in re. Remove clothes immediately after drying, and then hang or lay the clothes at to cool.

•Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation create heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot

enough to catch re. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a re hazard.

•If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products be placed in

a tumble dryer they should rst be washed in hot water with extra

detergent – this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.

Disposal

•Before discarding an old appliance, unplug it. Cut off the cable directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse.

•Dispose of all packaging materials (such as plastic bags and styrofoam) away from children. The packaging material can cause suffocatoion.

•Remove the door before disposing of or discarding this appliance to avoid the danger of children or small animals getting trapped inside.

WARNING - To avoid a re

Do not wash or dry clothes or items that have any

contaminants of ammable solvents or substances. Do not clean the product or expose it to ammable substances.

If the water container is full, the icon glows and the buzzer sounds while the appliance is operating. If this should occur, the water container needs to be emptied within the next hour.

Pull out the water container.

Empty the water container in the sink.

Cleaning the Cool Air Inlet Grill

Vacuum the Cool Air Inlet grill 3 - 4 times a year to make sure there is no build up of lint or dirt that

may cause improper air ow.

NOTE

•Warm air is exhausted through the ventilation grill.

•Adequate ventilation should be provided to

avoid the back ow of gases into the room from units burning other fuels, such as open res.

Wiping the Moisture Sensor

This 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.

Push it back into the appliance.

Press the

button.

CAUTION

•Do not wipe the moisture sensor with abrasive materials. Always clean the sensor with a rough sponge.

Cleaning the Condenser

The condenser is also a very important part for

efcient drying performance result, so it needs

special care from you. It is recommended that the condenser be cleaned three or four times a year or when the icon blinks.

Push the cap and open the condensing cover.

Open the seal by turning the locking lever.

Clean the condenser thoroughly under a tap,

letting the water ow through.

Put everything back together by following the

instructions in reverse order.

Pull the condenser out by inserting a nger

into the tab at the front of the condenser. (Do not force the condenser).

NOTE

•If the icon is displayed, clean the condenser promptly.

CAUTION

•The locking lever must be closed after cleaning the condenser as illustrated above.

•Operating when the condenser is clogged with lint can damage the appliance. This also increases energy consumption.

•Do not use sharp objects to clean the heat exchanger. This could cause damage and leaking.

•Never operate the appliance without the heat exchanger.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The appliance is equipped with an automatic error-monitoring system to detect and diagnose problems at an early stage. If the appliance does not function properly or does not function at all, check the following before you call for service:

Diagnosing Problems

Symptoms Reason Solution

Appliance will not turn on

Appliance does not heat

Clothes take too long to dry

Power cord is not properly plugged in.

House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred.

Load is not properly sorted.

Large load of heavy fabrics.

Appliance controls are not set properly.

•Make sure that the plug is securely plugged into a grounded outlet matching the appliance’s rating plate.

•Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it

corrected by a qualied electrician.

•Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it

corrected by a qualied electrician.

•Separate heavy items from lightweight items. Larger and heavier items take longer to dry. Light items in a load with heavy items can fool the sensor because the light items dry faster.

•Heavy fabrics take longer to dry because they tend to retain more moisture. To help reduce and maintain more consistent drying times for large and heavy fabrics, separate these items into smaller loads of a consistent size.

•Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load you are drying. Some loads may require an adjustment of the dry level setting for proper drying.

Lint lter needs to be cleaned.

•Remove the lint from the lint lter before every cycle. With the lint

removed, hold the lint lter up to a

light to see if it is dirty or clogged. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, such as new bath towels, it may be necessary to pause the cycle and

clean the lter during the cycle.

Symptoms Reason Solution

Clothes take too long to dry

Drying time is not consistent

House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred.

Appliance is overloaded.

Appliance is underloaded.

Heat settings, load size, or dampness of clothing is not consistent.

Fabric softener is used incorrectly.

•Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it

corrected by a qualied electrician.

•Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for better drying performance

and efciency.

•If you are drying a very small load, add a few extra items to ensure proper tumbling action. If the load is very small and you are using Sensor Dry programmes, the electronic control cannot properly sense the dryness of the load and may shut off too soon. Use Manual Dry programmes or add some extra wet clothes to the load.

•The drying time for a load will vary depending on the type of heat used (electric), the size of the load, the type of fabrics, the wetness of the clothes,

and lint lter. Even an unbalanced

load in the appliance can cause poor spinning, resulting in wetter clothes which will take longer to dry.

•When washing laundry that is to be dried in the appliance, use the correct amount of fabric softener as recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener.

Greasy or dirty spots are left on clothes

Clean and dirty clothes are being dried together.

Clothes were not properly cleaned or rinsed before being placed in the appliance.

•Use the appliance to dry only clean items. Soil from dirty clothes can transfer to the clean clothes in the same or later loads.

•Stains on dried clothes could be stains that were not removed during the washing process. Make sure that clothes are being completely cleaned or rinsed according to the instructions for your washing machine

and detergent. Some difcult soils may

require pre-treating prior to washing.

Symptoms Reason Solution

Clothes are wrinkled

Clothes are shrinking

Lint is left on clothes

Clothes have dried too long (overdried).

Clothes have been left in the appliance for too long after cycle ends.

Garment care instructions are not being followed.

Excess static in clothes after drying

Tissue, paper, etc., has been left in pockets.

Clothes have dried for too long (overdried).

Drying synthetics, permanent press, or synthetic blends.

•Check pockets thoroughly before drying clothes.

•Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a buildup of static electricity. Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time, or use Sensor Dry programmes.

•These fabrics are naturally more prone to static buildup. Try using fabric softener, or use shorter Manual Dry time settings.

Symptoms Reason Solution

Water leaks

Clothes have damp spots after a Sensor Dry programme

The water container hose or the drain hose is not connected correctly.

The door is closed while laundry or foreign substance is caught in the door.

Very large load or very small load. Single large item such as a blanket or comforter.

•Connect the water container hose or the drain hose correctly.

•Check if laundry or foreign substance is caught in the door before using the appliance. If water leaks continuously, contact the LG Electronics Customer Information Centre.

•If items are too tightly packed or too sparse the sensor may have trouble reading the dryness level of the load. Use a Manual Dry programme for very small loads.

•Large, bulky items such as blankets or comforters can sometimes wrap themselves into a tight ball of fabric. The outside layers will dry and register on the sensors, while the inner core remains damp. When drying a single bulky item, it may help to pause the cycle once or twice and rearrange the item to unwrap and expose any damp areas.

•To dry a few remaining damp items from a very large load or a few damp spots on a large item after a Sensor Dry programme has completed, empty the lint trap, then set a Manual Dry

programme to nish drying the item(s).
