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 grill. 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 a 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 an 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.

Installation Instructions

Stacking Kit

Note

• Warm air is exhausted through the ventilation grill
• Adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid the back flow of gases into the room from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires.

Condensed Water Drain-out

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 a mains drain hose, simply change the water path and reroute to the drainage facility as below:

aring for Your Dryer

Before cleaning the dryer's interior, unplug the power cord to avoid electric shock hazards.

- Turn off the stopcock if the machine is to be left for any length of time (e.g. holiday), especially if there is no floor drain (gully) in the immediate vicinity.

■ The water inlet filter
- " " icon will be displayed on the control panel when water does not enter the dryer.
- If water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged. It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time.

dditional Tips for Smart Use

Drying Guide

Dry woollens on “wool” cycle. Be sure to follow fabric care label symbols first. Wool may not be completely dried from the cycle, so don't repeat drying. Pull woollens to their original shape and dry them flat.

Woven and Loopknit Materials

Some woven and loopknit materials may shrink, depending on quality.

Permanent Press and Synthetics

Do not overload your dryer. Take out permanent press items as soon as the dryer stops to reduce creases.

Baby Clothes and Night Gowns

Always check the manufacturer's instructions.

Rubber and Plastics

Do not dry any items made from or containing rubber or plastics such as:

a) Aprons, Bibs and Chair Covers
b) Curtains and Table Clothes
c) Bathmats

Fibreglass

Do not dry fibreglass articles in your dryer.

Glass particles left in the dryer could be picked up by your clothes the next time you use the dryer and irritate your skin.

Fabric Care Labels

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 dryer.

Below are fabric care label Symbols.

Troubleshooting Guide

Note

The SmartDiagnosis ^™ function is available only for the products with a SmartDiagnosis ^™ mark. In case of a mobile phone with static option, the smart diagnosis function may not operate.

Using SmartDiagnosis™

• Only use this feature when instructed to do so by the call centre. The transmission sounds similar to a fax machine, and so has no meaning except to the call centre.

• SmartDiagnosis™ cannot be activated if the dryer does not power up. If this happens, then troubleshooting must be done without SmartDiagnosis™.
  If you experience problems with your dryer, call LG's customer information centre. Follow the call centre agent's instructions, and do the following steps when requested:

• Press the Power button to turn on the dryer. Do not press any other buttons or turn the cycle selector knob.

Hand pressing a button on a device control panel (no text or symbols visible)

1. When instructed to do so by the call centre, place the mouthpiece of your phone close to the "SmartDiagnosis™" icon and Power button.

Illustration of a hand pressing down on a kitchen fan with control buttons (no text or symbols)

Max. 10 mm

1. Press and hold the "Time Delay" button for three seconds, while holding the mouthpiece of your phone close to the "SmartDiagnosis™" icon and Power button.
2. Keep the phone in place until the tone transmission has finished. This takes about 6 seconds, and the display will count down the time.

- For best results, do not move the phone while the tones are being transmitted.

- If the call centre agent is not able to get an accurate recording of the data, you may be asked to try again.

- Pressing the Power button during the transmission will shut off the SmartDiagnosis™.

1. Once the countdown is over and the tones have stopped, resume your conversation with the call centre agent, who will then be able to assist you using the information transmitted for analysis during your call to the customer information centre.

Note

"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."
