IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

WArNiNg

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, injury to persons, or death.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION

WArNiNg

To reduce the risk of injury to persons, follow all industry recommended safety procedures including the use of long sleeved gloves and safety glasses. Failure to follow all of the safety warnings in this manual could result in property damage, injury to persons, or death.

Exhaust/Ducting:

  • Gas dryers MUST be exhausted to the outside. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.
  • The dryer exhaust system must be exhausted to the outside of the dwelling. If the dryer is not exhausted outdoors, some fine lint and large amounts of moisture will be expelled into the laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any area of the home can create a health and fire hazard.
  • Use only rigid metal or flexible metal 4-inch diameter ductwork inside the dryer cabinet or for exhausting to the outside. Use of plastic or other combustible ductwork can cause a fire. Punctured ductwork can cause a fire if it collapses or becomes otherwise restricted in use or during installation.
  • Ductwork is not provided with the dryer, and you should obtain the necessary ductwork locally. The end cap should have hinged dampers to prevent backdraft when the dryer is not in use. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

  • The exhaust duct must be 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter with no obstructions. The exhaust duct should be kept as short as possible. Make sure to clean any old ducts before installing your new dryer. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

  • Rigid or semi-rigid metal ducting is recommended for use between the dryer and the wall. In special installations when it is impossible to make a connection with the above recommendations, a UL-listed flexible metal transition duct may be used between the dryer and wall connection only. The use of this ducting will affect drying time. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.
  • DO NOT use sheet metal screws or other fasteners which extend into the duct that could catch lint and reduce the efficiency of the exhaust system. Secure all joints with duct tape. For complete details, follow the Installation Instructions. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR STEAM FUNCTIONS

WArNiNg

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

  • Do not open the dryer door during steam cycles. Failure to follow these instructions can result in a burn hazard.
  • Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

  • Do not fill the steam feeder with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

  • Do not touch the steam nozzle in the drum during or after the steam cycle. Failure to follow these instructions can result in a burn hazard.
  • Do not fill the steam feeder with hot water (over 86 °F/30 °C). Failure to follow these instructions can result in a burn hazard.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONNECTING ELECTRICITY

WArNiNg

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

  • Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the ground prong from the power cord. To prevent injury to persons or damage to the dryer, the electrical power cord must be plugged into a properly grounded outlet.
  • For personal safety, this dryer must be properly grounded. Failure to do so can result in electric shock or injury.
  • Refer to the installation instructions in this manual for specific electrical requirements for your model. Failure to follow these instructions can create an electric shock hazard and/or a fire hazard.
  • This dryer must be plugged into a properly grounded outlet. Electric shock can result if the dryer is not properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. Failure to follow these instructions can create an electric shock hazard and/or a fire hazard.

  • The dryer should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate. This provides sparkling performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.

  • Never unplug your dryer by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet. The power cord can be damaged, resulting in a risk of fire and electric shock.
    Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. The power cord can melt, creating an electric shock and/or fire hazard.
  • When installing or moving the dryer, be careful not to pinch, crush, or damage the power cord. This will prevent injury and prevent damage to the dryer from fire and electric shock.

Final Installation Check

Once you have completed the installation of the dryer and it is in its final location, confirm proper operation with the following tests and Installation Test (Duct Check) on the following page.

Testing dryer heating

GAS MODELS

Close the dryer door, press the ON/OFF button to turn the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting. When the dryer starts, the igniter should ignite the main burner.

NOTE

If all air is not purged from the gas line, the gas igniter may turn off before the main burner ignites. If this happens, the igniter will reattempt gas ignition after approximately two minutes.

ELECTRIC MODELS

Close the dryer door, press the ON/OFF button to turn the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting. The exhaust air should be warm after the dryer has been operating for 3 minutes.

Checking airflow

Effective dryer operation requires proper airflow. The adequacy of the airflow can be measured by evaluating the static pressure. Static pressure in the exhaust duct can be measured with a manometer, placed on the exhaust duct approximately 2 ft. (60.9 cm) from the dryer.

Static pressure in the exhaust duct should not exceed 0.6 inches (1.5cm) . The dryer should be checked while the dryer is running with no load.

Checking levelness

Once the dryer is in its final location, recheck the dryer to be sure it is level. Make sure it is level from front to back and side to side, and that all four leveling feet are firmly on the floor.

Installation test (Duct check)

Once you have completed the installation of the dryer, use this test to make sure the condition of the exhaust system is adequate for proper operation of the dryer. This test should be performed to alert you to any serious problems in the exhaust system of your home.
- Your dryer features FLOW SENSE, an innovative sensing system that automatically detects blockages and restrictions in dryer ductwork. Keeping ductwork clean of lint buildup and free of restrictions allows clothes to dry faster and reduces energy use.

NOTE

The dryer should be cool before starting this test. If the dryer was warmed up during installation, run the AIR DRY cycle for a few minutes to reduce the interior temperature.

Loading the Dryer

WArNiNg

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

  • Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty. Items such as clips, pens, coins, and keys can damage both your dryer and your clothes. Flammable objects such as lighters or matches could ignite, causing a fire. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
  • Never dry clothes that have been exposed to oil, gasoline, or other flammable substances. Washing clothes will not completely remove oil residues. Failure to obey this warning can result in fire, explosion, or death.

NOTE

Loading tips

  • Combine large and small items in a load.
  • Damp clothes will expand as they dry. Do not overload the dryer; clothes require room to tumble dry properly.
  • Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent these items from snagging or tangling on other clothes.

Check the lint filter before every load

Always make sure the lint filter is clean before starting a new load; a clogged lint filter will increase drying times.

To clean, pull the lint filter straight up and roll any lint off the filter with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash the filter to remove lint. Push the lint filter firmly back into place. See Regular Cleaning for more information.

Always ensure the lint filter is properly installed before running the dryer. Running the dryer with a loose or missing lint filter will damage the dryer and articles in the dryer.

Steam functions (cont.)

LG's new steam technology allows you to inject fabrics with a swirling jet of hot steam to refresh clothes, reduce static, and make ironing easier.

Simply select the STEAM FRESH™ cycle, or you can add a Steam option to selected cycles.

Using the STEAM FRESH™ Cycle

STEAM FRESH™ uses the power of steam alone to quickly reduce wrinkles and odor in fabrics. It brings new life to wrinkled clothes that have been stored for an extended time and makes heavily wrinkled clothes easier to iron.

STEAM FRESH™ can also be used to help reduce odors in fabrics.

NOTE

  • REDUCE STATIC or EASY IRON options can also be used during the STEAM FRESH™ cycle.
    Depending on the load (quantity of items), you may change the amount of time for the cycle by pressing the MORE TIME or LESS TIME button. The display will show 3, 5, or b19.3 means 3 or fewer items, 5 is for 4 or 5 items, and b19 indicates a large load such as a comforter.

To Use the STEAM FRESHTM Cycle:

  1. Turn on the dryer and turn the cycle selector knob to select the STEAM FRESH ™ cycle.
  2. To add an option function, select REDUCE STATIC, EASY IRON, or WRINKLE CARE.
  3. Depending on the load (quantity of items), steam time can be changed by pressing the MORE TIME or LESS TIME buttons.
  4. Press START/PAUSE button to start the cycle.

To Add STEAM to a Standard Cycle:

  1. Turn on the dryer and turn the cycle selector knob to select the desired cycle.
  2. Use the cycle modifier buttons to adjust the settings for that cycle.
  3. Press the Steam option button for the Steam option you would like to add. Then adjust for the load size using the MORE TIME or LESS TIME buttons.
  4. Press START/PAUSE button to start the cycle.

Using the Steam Options:

The REDUCE STATIC option injects steam late in the drying cycle to reduce the static electricity caused by dry fabrics rubbing together. Change the amount of time for the cycle by pressing the MORE TIME or LESS TIME button, depending on the load (quantity of items). The display will show the recommended number of items, such as 7, 9, 11, 14, 16, or 18.

The EASY IRON option provides uniform, properly dampened fabrics for ironing, which can save time and make ironing easier. Change the amount of time for the cycle by pressing the MORE TIME or LESS TIME button, depending on the load (quantity of items). The display will show the recommended number of items, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.

NOTE

  • When Sensor Dry is selected with the REDUCE STATIC option, a Dry level of Less or DAMP cannot be selected.
  • The REDUCE STATIC or EASY IRON option may also be selected during TIME DRY cycles.
    After the Steam option is selected in TIME DRY, the MORE TIME or LESS TIME buttons will change the steam time ONLY.
    After pressing START/PAUSE, the MORE TIME or LESS TIME buttons will be disabled.

Using the STEAM SANITARYTM cycle

New STEAM SANITARY™ cycle is ideal for sanitizing non-washable items quickly and easily using the power of steam alone.

This cycle is recommended for use with cotton and polyester materials only. (Do NOT use for urethane foam, down feathers or delicate items)

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

ProblemPossible Causes Solutions
Dryer will not turn on·Power cord is not properly plugged in. ·House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred.·Make sure that the plug is plugged securely into a grounded outlet matching the dryer'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 qualified electrician.
Dryer does not heat·House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred. ·Gas supply or service turned off (gas models only).·Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician. ·Confirm that the house gas shutoff and the dryer gas shutoff are both fully open.
Greasy or dirty spots on clothes·Fabric softener used incorrectly. ·Clean and dirty clothes being dried together.·Confirm and follow the instructions provided with your fabric softener. ·Make sure to use your dryer to dry only clean items, because dirty items can soil clean clothes placed in the same or subsequent loads. ·Stains on dried clothes are actually stains that were not removed during the washing process. Make sure that clothes are being completely cleaned according to the instructions for your washer and detergent.
Display shows error code tE1 or tE2·Thermistor is malfunctioning. ·Turn off the dryer and call for service.
Lint on clothes·Lint filter not cleaned properly. ·Laundry not sorted properly. ·Excess static in clothes. ·Dryer is overloaded. ·Tissue, paper, etc., left in pockets.·Make sure the lint filter is cleaned before every load. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the filter during the cycle. ·Some fabrics are lint producers (i.e., a fuzzy white cotton towel) and should be dried separately from clothes that are lint trappers (i.e., a pair of black linen pants). ·See the Excess static in clothes after drying section below. ·Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying. ·Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying clothes.
Excess static in clothes after drying·Fabric softener not used or used incorrectly. ·Clothes dried too long (overdried). ·Drying synthetics, permanent press, or synthetic blends.·Use a fabric softener to reduce static electricity correctly. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product. ·Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a buildup of static electricity. Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time, or use SENSOR DRY cycles. ·These materials can cause static buildup. Try using a fabric softener.

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.
