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 that has 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 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 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 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 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.

Caring for Your Dryer

Caring for your Dryer is Very Important

It’s not difficult to care for your dryer, but it is important that you do care for it, to get the best out of it.

Clean Filter

Clean the filter after each use and check it before each use. It should also be cleaned if the

‘‘Clean Filter’’ light becomes illuminated and the buzzer sounds whilst the dryer is in operation.

Cleaning or emptying the filter will reduce drying times and energy consumption and lengthen the dryer life.

Empty Water Container

Condensed water is collected in the water container.

Empty the water container after every use.

Not doing so will affect the drying performance.

If the water container is full, the “Empty Water” lamp glows and the buzzer sounds while the dryer is operating. If this should occur, the water container needs to be emptied within the next hour.

1. Pull out the water container.

1. Open the door.

2. Pull the filter out.

3. Clean the filter by using a vacuum cleaner or rinsing under the tap.

4. Replace the filter.

Push the filter all the way down to avoid interference with the door.

5. Close the door.

2. Empty water container in the sink.

3. Push it back into the dryer.

4. Press the

Start/Pause button.

NOTE

A high atmospheric temperature and a small room may both increase drying time as well as energy consumption.

CAUTION

- Lint must not be left to accumulate in the dryer.

NOTE

If the filter is not in your dryer, you can not operate the dryer.

WARNING

Do not drink the condensed water.

CAUTION

If the laundry is not spun at a high speed during washing, energy consumption and drying time will increase.

In some instances, LED window may display “ ” (Empty water symbol) and the dryer may stop because the water container is full.

If “Clean Filter” symbol is displayed during the operation, clean the filter promptly.

1.Cool the dryer down and follow the above steps.

2.Press the Start/Pause button.

19

Caring for Your Dryer

■

Ventilation Grill and Cool Air

Inlet Grill

Vacuum the front ventilation grill 3-4 times a year to make sure there is no build up of lint or dirt that may cause improper air flow.

3. Connect drain hose to the kit.

NOTE

- Warm air is exhausted through the ventilation grill.

- Adequate ventilation should be provided to avoid the back flow of gases into the room from units burning other fuels, such as 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 the mains drain hose, simply change the water path and re-route to the drainage facility as below:

1. Take connecting kit out.

■

Moisture Sensor

The 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.

Wipe the sensors inside drum.

(as illustrated)

2. Separate water container hose from the kit.

Troubleshooting Tips

To save you time and money, the following page will help answer your questions before service call.

Issue

Dryer won’t run

What to do

1. Check dryer is plugged in.

2. Check "Start/Pause" button is pressed.

3. Check door is properly closed.

4. Check room temperature is not below 5°C.

5. Check a fuse is blown or the circuit breaker is tripped and replace them. (Caution : electric dryers generally use two fuses or breakers) After emptying the water container and cleaning filter during operation, you must press the Start/Pause button, then the dryer will operate again.

It takes a long time to dry

Dryer is operating but

“Time Left” in the display doesn’t change.

1. Filter should be cleaned after each load.

2. Check water container is emptied.

3. Select correct cycle setting for fabric type.

4. Check air ventilation grill or rear vents of dryer are not obstructed.

5. Check clothes are not excessively wet.

6. Check the dryer is not overloaded.

This is not a malfunction.

Drying time is estimated and will recalculate throughout the cycle as it senses the dryness of the load.

Check filter is clean.

Clothes are covered in fluff

1. Check the filter is clean.

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 is not consistent

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.

Water is leaking

The clothes are creased

The garments have shrunk

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.

Troubleshooting Guide

NOTE

Smart Diagnosis™ function is available only for the products with a

Smart Diagnosis™ mark. Should you have an analog phone, the Smart

Diagnosis™ function may not operate.

■

Using Smart Diagnosis™

• 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.

• Smart Diagnosis™ cannot be activated if the dryer does not power up. If this happens, then troubleshooting must be done without Smart Diagnosis™.

If you experience problems with your dryer, call the customer information centre. Follow the call centre agent's instructions, and do the following steps when requested:

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

Max. 10 mm

3. Press and hold the “ (More)” button for three seconds, while holding the mouthpiece of your phone close to the

"Smart Diagnosis™" icon and Power button.

4. Keep the phone in place until the tone transmission has finished.

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.

5. 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 customer information centre.

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

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 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. LG does not guarantee that Smart Diagnosis would accurately troubleshoot any given issue.”
