Failure to do so can cause product damage, smoke or

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce
the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least
resistance for electric current. This appliance must be
equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If
it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal,
permanent wiring system or an equipment-grounding
conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and
connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or
lead on the appliance.
Electric shock can result if the dryer is not properly
grounded.

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:
– Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers,
turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before
being dried in the tumble dryer.
Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or
pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the tumble dryer.
– Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified by the fabric softener instructions.
The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a
temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.
w
WARNING
Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so
that the heat is dissipated.

Smart Diagnosis™
Should you experience any technical difficulty with your dryer, it has the capability of transmitting data via your
telephone to the Customer Information Center. The call center agent records the data transmitted from your machine
and uses it to analyze the issue, providing a fast and effective diagnosis.
Tag On
The Tag On feature works on most NFC equipped smart phones by communicating with your Tag On equipped LG
appliance.
Using the “LG Smart ThinQ” application, the Tag On feature will allow you to diagnose your appliance, download new
cycles, and see the status of your appliance by simply touching the smart phone to the Tag On logo of the appliance.

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. With enough vibration, the appliances will make noise or touch each
other, causing paint damage and making even more noise.

this warning can cause serious injury or death.
To ensure that the dryer provides optimal drying
performance, it must be level. To minimize vibration,
noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must be a
perfectly level, solid surface.
1. Position the dryer in the final location. Place a level
across the top of the dryer.

Gently push on the top corners of the dryer to make
sure that the dryer does not rock from corner to corner.
If you are installing the dryer on the optional pedestal,
you must use the leveling feet on the pedestal to
level the dryer. The dryer leveling feet should be fully
retracted.

Unscrew the feet to raise the dryer or screw in the feet
to lower it. Raise or lower the leveling feet until the
dryer is level from side to side and front to back.
Make sure that all four leveling feet are in firm contact
with the floor.

NOTE
Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary to
level the dryer. Extending the leveling feet more than
necessary can cause the dryer to vibrate.
