save
Drying times are now shorter due to the efficient air flow
mechanism and optimised heater on this LG Dryer.

Reduced noise levels

We have reduced the operating noise of this LG Dryer by
using innovative sound-absorbing and noise-screening
technologies, making it much quieter than conventional
dryers.

Please note that every section of this manual provides important information regarding the preparation and

Stacking Installation Instructions

Your LG dryer can be placed on top of a front loading washing machine and securely fixed with a stack-
ing 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 insulation are dangerous. Any of these could result in electric shock
or fire. Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage or deteriora-
tion, unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance, and have the cord replaced with an exact
replacement part by an authorized 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 appli-
ance.
