nstallation Instructions
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
Installation Instructions
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.
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.
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 your washing machine to save space. A stacking kit is available from your local appliance specialist.
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 authorized 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.

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.

“Smart Diagnosis is a troubleshooting feature designed to assist, not replace, the traditional method of troubleshooting through service calls. The effectiveness of this feature depends upon various factors, including, but not limited to, the reception of the cellular phone being used for transmission, any external noise that may be present during the transmission, and the acoustics of the room where the machine is located. Accordingly, LG does not guarantee that Smart Diagnosis would accurately troubleshoot any given issue.”
