INSTALLATION

Installation Location Requirements

WARNINg

Read all installation instructions completely before installing and operating the dryer! It is important that you review this entire manual before installing and using the dryer. Detailed instructions concerning electrical connections, gas connections, and exhaust requirements are provided on the following pages.

11

The installation requires:

• A location that allows for proper exhaust installation. A gas dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. See

Venting the Dryer.

• A grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft. (61 cm) of either side of the dryer. See Connecting Electric

Dryers .

• A sturdy floor to support the total dryer weight of 200 lb (90.7 kg). The combined weight of a companion appliance should also be considered.

• No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the same closet as a dryer.

Do not operate the dryer at temperatures below 45 °F (7 °C). At lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the end of an automatic cycle. This can result in longer drying times. The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather. Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit, installation of the dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.

NOTE

• The floor must be level, with a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.5 cm) under the entire dryer.

Clothes may not tumble properly, and automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly if dryer is not level.

• For a garage installation, you will need to place the dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor. The standard pedestal is 15 inches (38.1 cm). You will need 18 inches (46 cm) from the garage floor to the bottom of the dryer.

Clearances

Installation Spacing for Recessed Area or Closet Installation

The following spacing dimensions are recommended for this dryer. This dryer has been tested for clearances of

1 inch (2.5 cm) on the sides and rear. Recommended clearances should be considered for the following reasons:

• Additional clearances should be considered for ease of installation and servicing.

• Additional clearances might be required for wall, door and floor moldings.

• Additional clearances should be considered on all sides of the dryer to reduce noise transfer.

For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation openings in the top and bottom of the door are required. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are acceptable.

• Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.

MFL69702004_en_170105.indd 11 2017-01-05 �� 3:29:13

12 INSTALLATION

Closet Ventilation Requirements

Closets with doors must have both an upper and lower vent to prevent heat and moisture buildup in the closet.

One upper vent opening with a minimum opening of 48 sq. in. (310 cm 2 ) must be installed no lower than 6 feet above the floor. One lower vent opening with a minimum opening of 24 sq. in. (155 cm 2 ) must be installed no more than one foot above the floor. Install vent grills in the door or cut down the door at the top and bottom to form openings. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are also acceptable.

NOTE

There should be at least a little space around the dryer (or any other appliance) to eliminate the transfer of vibration from one appliance to another. If there is enough vibration, it could cause appliances to make noise or come into contact, causing paint damage and further increasing noise.

• Do not allow ductwork to rest on or contact sharp objects.


• If connecting to existing ductwork, make sure it is suitable and clean before installing the dryer.


• Venting must conform to local building codes.


• gas dryers MUST exhaust to the outdoors.


• Use only 4-inch (10.2 cm) rigid, semi-rigid or flexible metal ductwork inside the dryer cabinet and for venting outside.


• To reduce the risk of fire, combustion, or accumulation of combustible gases, DO

NOT exhaust dryer air into an enclosed and unventilated area, such as an attic, wall, ceiling, crawl space, chimney, gas vent, or concealed space of a building.


• To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT exhaust the dryer with plastic or thin foil ducting.


• 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.


• Rigid, semi-rigid or flexible metal ducting is recommended for use between the dryer and the wall. All non-rigid metal transition duct must be UL-listed. Use of other materials for transition duct could affect drying time. Failure to follow these instructions may 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.


• Do not exceed the recommended duct length limitations noted in the chart.

Failure to follow these instructions may result in extended drying times, fire or death.

• Ductwork is not provided with the dryer. You should obtain the necessary ductwork locally.

The vent hood should have hinged dampers to prevent backdraft when the dryer is not in use.


• The total length of flexible metal duct must not exceed 8 ft. (2.4 m).

• In Canada, only those foil-type flexible ducts, if any, specifically identified for use with the appliance by the manufacturer should be used.

In the United States, only those foil-type flexible ducts, if any, specifically identified for use with the appliance by the manufacturer and that comply with the Outline for Clothes Dryer Transition Duct,

Connecting the Inlet hose

(Steam Models)

The dryer must be connected to the cold water tap using a new water supply hose. Do not use old hoses.

NOTE

• Water supply pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi (138—827 kPa) .

• Do not strip or cross-thread when connecting the inlet hose to the valve.

• If the water supply pressure is more than 800 kPa, a pressure-reducing valve should be installed.

• Periodically check the condition of the hose and replace the hose if necessary.

• Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure.

• Record hose installation or replacement dates on the hoses for future reference.

1 Check the rubber seal at each end of the inlet hoses. Two rubber seals are supplied with each inlet hose. They are used for preventing water leaks. Make sure the connection to the cold water tap is tight.

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 the Installation Test (Duct

Check) on the following page.

Testing Dryer heating

gAS MODELS

Close the dryer door, press the POWER 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.

ELECTRIC MODELS

Close the dryer door, press the POWER 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-inch (1.5 cm). 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 front to back and side to side, and that all four leveling feet are firmly on the floor.

Checking Venting

Vent ductwork should be checked for lint buildup and cleaned at least once per year. If any noticeable reduction in drying performance occurs, check duct for obstructions and blockages.

MFL69702004_en_170105.indd 31 2017-01-05 �� 3:29:39

32 INSTALLATION

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.

• This 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.

To activate the installation test:

1 Remove the drying rack and literature, and then close the door.

Do not load anything in the drum for this test, as in may affect the accuracy of the results.

2

3

Press and hold the POWER, Temp., and Signal buttons until and a usage count alternate in the display. (The usage count indicates the number of cycles run with no load during the last

5 cycles.)

Press the START/PAUSE button.

The dryer will start the test, which will last about

2 minutes. The heat will be turned on and the temperatures in the drum will be measured and displayed. A chime sounds when the test portion of the cycle is complete.

4 Check the display for results.

During the test cycle, monitor the Flow Sense™ display on the control panel. If no bars are displayed, when the cycle ends, the exhaust system is adequate. If the exhaust system is severely restricted, the display will show four bars. Other problems may also be shown with error codes. See the chart below for error code details and solutions.

NO BARS:

OK

FOUR BARS:

RESTRICTED

Four bars indicates that the exhaust system is severely restricted. Have the system checked immediately, as performance will be poor.

5 End of cycle.

• Check the duct condition

If the Flow Sense TM LED is turned on, check the exhaust system for restrictions and damage. Repair or replace the exhaust system as needed.

NOTE

When the dryer is first installed, this test should be performed to alert you to any existing problems with the exhaust duct in your home.

However, since the test performed during normal operation provides more accurate information on the condition of the exhaust duct than does the installation test, the number of bars displayed during the two tests may not be the same.

Do not interrupt the test cycle, as this could result in inaccurate results.

Even if no bars are displayed during the test cycle, some restrictions may still be present in the exhaust system. Refer to the Venting the Dryer section of this manual for complete exhaust system and venting requirements.

40 OPERATION

Sensor dry cycles

Sensor dry cycles utilize LG’s unique dual sensor system to detect and compare the moisture level in clothes and in the air and adjust the drying time as needed to ensure superior results. The dryer automatically sets the dryness level and temperature at the recommended setting for each cycle. The estimated time remaining will be shown in the display.

NOTE

To protect your garments not every dryness level, temperature, or option is available with every cycle. See the Cycle guid e for details.

Downloaded

If you download a cycle using the Smart ThinQ application, it will be placed in the downloaded cycle position. Choose the Downloaded cycle to run the downloaded cycle.

Manual dry cycles

Use manual dry cycles to select a specific amount of drying time and a drying temperature. When a manual dry cycle is selected, the Estimated Time

Remainng display shows the actual time remaining in your cycle. You can change the actual time in the cycle by pressing More Time or Less Time.

CERTIFIED BY NSF/P154

Residential Clothes dryer

NSF International (formerly the National Sanitation

Foundation), certifies that the Antibacterial cycle reduces 99.9% of bacteria on laundry, and none of the bacteria will carry over onto the next laundry load.

• The default settings for the Antibacterial cycle are high temperature and Very Dry. These default settings cannot be changed.

• Do NOT use this cycle with delicate items or fabrics.

Make sure all articles to be dried remain completely on the rack and cannot fall off or be pulled off by the turning drum. Be sure to remove the rack after use.

Energy Saver (on some models)

This option helps to reduce energy consumption in the Normal cycle, depending on the load size.

When the Energy Saver option is selected, the cycle begins with an air dry section and the drying time is increased.

NOTE

The Energy Saver option is turned on by default in the Normal cycle. Turn off the Energy Saver option for a faster Normal cycle which begins with heated drying.

* Default On/Off

This option allows the Energy Saver settings to be changed. To run a Normal cycle without the Energy

Saver option, press and hold the Energy Saver button for three seconds. ON or OFF appears in the display.

Installing the drying rack:

1 With the dryer door open, slide the rack into the dryer drum.

MFL69702004_en_170105.indd 42 2017-01-05 �� 3:29:48

Steam Functions

(Steam Models)

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 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.

Using the Wrinkle Free Cycle

Use to remove wrinkles, including from loads left in the dryer too long. This is helpful in preventing wrinkles when you are unable to remove items from the dryer immediately.

NOTE

• If you will be on vacation or not using your dryer for an extended period of time, you should turn off the water supply to the dryer. This helps to avoid unintended flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you are away.
