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 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 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.

Caring for Your Dryer
■ Ventilation Grill and Cool Air
Inlet Grill
3. Connect
drain hose
to the kit.
Vacuum the front ventilation grill 3-4 times a
year to make sure there is no build up of lint
or dirt that could cause improper air flow.
■ Moisture Sensor?
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.
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

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:
1. Take
connecting
kit out.
2. Separate
water
container
hose from
the kit.

Using SmartDiagnosis™
NOTE
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
might 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
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 Time” button
for three seconds, while holding the
phone mouthpiece to the icon or 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 the Customer
information centre.
NOTE
2. When instructed to do so by the call
centre, place the mouthpiece of your
phone very close to the Power button.
“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.”
