3 Choose a drying programme by turning the
programme selector knob.
4 Press the Start/Pause button to start the
drying programme. · When you press the button, the appliance
ventilates the inside of the drum for 10 seconds in order to get the appliance ready for drying operation.

· Open the door and ensure the lint filter is clean. When the filter is full with lint, drying times will be longer than usual.
· Pull out the water container and empty the condensed water. When the water container is full, the appliance may stop during the cycle.
NOTE · In some instance, LED window may display E
icon to inform you that the water container is full. If this occurs, empty the water container.
2 Place the clothes into the drum after sorting
and close the door. · Push the clothes deep into the drum so that
the clothes keeps away from the door seal. When the clothes get stuck between the door and seal, they may get damaged while drying. · The clothes should be sorted by fabric types and dryness level.

NOTE
· The appliance washes lint, which builds up onto the surface of the condenser, automatically using water that is condensed from the clothes during operation.
· The frequency of cleaning condenser may vary depending on the size and the initial moisture amount of the clothes.
5 After the drying programme has finished, open
the door and unload the clothes.
CAUTION
· Be careful! The drum inside may still be hot.

ENGLISH

OPERATION 15

6 Clean the lint filter and empty the water
container.

Checking the Clothes before Loading

CAUTION
· Check that the clothes are not stuck between appliance and door, or the clothes may get damaged while drying.

7 To help reduce odours from forming, the
dryer’s door can be left open or slightly ajar for a short period of time if possible to help ventilate the drum after use.
WARNING
· For safety reasons, do not allow children or animals to enter the appliance. It may cause damage or injury.
NOTE
· The final part of a tumble dry cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the clothes are left at a temperature that ensures the clothes will not be damaged.
· A high atmospheric temperature and a small room may both increase drying time as well as energy consumption.

· Observe the maximum load capacity on the programme table for the relevant drying programme to get optimum drying results. Overloading gives a poor drying result and causes unnecessary creasing.
· Do not load soaking wet clothes into the appliance. Doing so will increase the drying time and energy consumption. Make sure that the clothes are spun thoroughly in the washer before loading them in the dryer.
· A mixed fabric load can cause the drying time to be extended and the time remaining in the display to pause during active drying until the actual time remaining matches the time displayed.
· Make sure to empty all pockets. Items such as nails, hair clips, matches, pens, coins and keys can damage both your appliance and clothes.
· Remove loose belts and close zippers, hooks and strings to make sure that these items do not snag other clothes.

Preparing the Clothes
NOTE
· For the best drying performance and most efficient energy usage, do not overload the appliance.

Sorting the Clothes
Clothes have their own fabric care labels, so drying according to the fabric care label is recommended. Sort the clothes into size and type of fabric and then prepare the clothes according to the symbols on the fabric care labels.
Woollens
· Dry woollens on the Wool Refresh programme. Be sure to follow fabric care label symbols first. Wool may not be completely dried from the cycle, so do not repeat drying. Pull woollens to their original shape and dry them flat.
Woven and Loopknit Materials
· Some woven and loopknit materials may shrink, depending on quality.

16 OPERATION
No-Iron and Synthetics · Do not overload the appliance. Take out no-iron
items as soon as the appliance stops to reduce creases.

TROUBLESHOOTING 29

Symptoms Appliance does not heat.
Water leaks.
Appliance runs and pauses by itself after the drying cycle finishes.

Possible Cause & Solution
House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred.
· Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.
The water container hose or the optional drain hose is not connected correctly.
· Connect the water container hose or the optional drain hose correctly.
The door is closed while clothes or foreign substance is caught in the door.
· Check if clothes or foreign substance is caught in the door before using the appliance. If water leaks continuously, contact the LG Electronics Customer Information Centre.
This is how the anti crease option works.
· Make sure that the anti crease option has been set. The option is designed to prevent creases that are formed when the clothes are not unloaded promptly after the drying cycle. When the option is set, the appliance runs for 10 seconds and pauses for 5 minutes. The option is works for up to 2 hours.

Performance

Symptoms
Clothes take too long to dry.

Possible Cause & Solution
Load is not properly sorted.
· Separate heavy items from lightweight items. Larger and heavier items take longer to dry. Light items in a load with heavy items can fool the sensor because the light items dry faster.
Large load of heavy fabrics.
· Heavy fabrics take longer to dry because they tend to retain more moisture. To help reduce and maintain more consistent drying times for large and heavy fabrics, separate these items into smaller loads of a consistent size.
Appliance controls are not set properly.
· Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load you are drying. Some loads may require an adjustment of the dry level setting for proper drying.
Lint filter needs to be cleaned.
· Remove the lint from the lint filter after every cycle. With the lint removed, hold the lint filter up to a light to see if it is dirty or clogged. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, such as new bath towels, it may be necessary to pause the cycle and clean the filter during the cycle.

30 TROUBLESHOOTING

Symptoms Clothes take too long to dry.
Drying time is not consistent. Greasy or dirty spots are left on clothes.
Clothes are wrinkled. Clothes are shrinking.

Possible Cause & Solution
House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred.
· Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.
Appliance is overloaded.
· Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for better drying performance and efficiency.
Appliance is underloaded.
· If you are drying a very small load, add a few extra items to ensure proper tumbling action. If the load is very small and you are using Sensor Dry programmes, the electronic control cannot properly sense the dryness of the load and may shut off too soon. Use Timed Drying programmes or add some extra wet clothes to the load.
Heat settings, load size, or dampness of clothing is not consistent.
· The drying time for a load will vary depending on the type of heat used (electric), the size of the load, the type of fabrics, the wetness of the clothes, and lint filter. Even an unbalanced load in the appliance can cause poor spinning, resulting in wetter clothes which will take longer to dry.
Fabric softener is used incorrectly.
· When washing clothes that are to be dried in the appliance, use the correct amount of fabric softener as recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener.
Clean and dirty clothes are being dried together.
· Use the appliance to dry only clean items. Soil from dirty clothes can transfer to the clean clothes in the same or later loads.
Clothes were not properly cleaned or rinsed before being placed in the appliance.
· Stains on dried clothes could be stains that were not removed during the washing process. Make sure that clothes are being completely cleaned or rinsed according to the instructions for your washing machine and detergent. Some difficult soils may require pre-treating prior to washing.
Clothes have dried too long (overdried).
· Over drying a load of clothes can lead to wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter drying time.
Clothes have been left in the appliance for too long after cycle ends.
· Use the Anti Crease option.
Garment care instructions are not being followed.
· To avoid shrinking your clothes, always consult and follow fabric care instructions. Some fabrics will naturally shrink when washed. Other fabrics can be washed but will shrink when dried in the appliance. Use a low or no heat setting.

TROUBLESHOOTING 31

ENGLISH

Symptoms

Possible Cause & Solution

Lint is left on clothes.

Lint filter has not been cleaned properly.
· Remove the lint from the lint filter after every cycle. With the lint removed, hold the lint filter up to a light to see if it is dirty or clogged. If it looks dirty, follow the cleaning instructions. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the lint filter during the cycle.

Clothes have not been sorted properly.
· Some fabrics are lint producers (i.e., a fuzzy white cotton towel) and should be dried separately from clothes that are lint trappers (i.e., a pair of black linen pants).

Appliance is overloaded. · Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for drying.

Tissue, paper, etc., has been left in pockets. · Check pockets thoroughly before drying clothes.

Excess static in clothes after drying.

Clothes have dried for too long (overdried).
· Overdrying a load of clothes can cause a buildup of static electricity. Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time, or use Sensor Dry programmes.

Drying synthetics, permanent press, or synthetic blends.
· These fabrics are naturally more prone to static buildup. Try using fabric softener, or use shorter Timed Drying time settings.

Clothes have damp spots after a Sensor Dry programme.

Very large load or very small load. Single large item such as a blanket or comforter.
· If items are too tightly packed or too sparse the sensor may have trouble reading the dryness level of the load. Use a Timed Drying programme for very small loads.
· Large, bulky items such as blankets or comforters can sometimes wrap themselves into a tight ball of fabric. The outside layers will dry and register on the sensors, while the inner core remains damp. When drying a single bulky item, it may help to pause the cycle once or twice and rearrange the item to unwrap and expose any damp areas.
· To dry a few remaining damp items from a very large load or a few damp spots on a large item after a Sensor Dry programme has completed, empty the lint filter, then set a Timed Drying programme to finish drying the item(s).

32 TROUBLESHOOTING

Odours

Symptoms
The appliance has an odour.

Possible Cause & Solution
Are you using the appliance for the first time?
· The smell is caused by rubber material that is attached to the appliance inside. This kind of smell is a rubber’s own smell and disappears automatically after using the appliance several times.
Do you smell an odour during use?
· When washing the clothes, use the detergent in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations. If you use the detergent excessively not according to the recommendations, undissolved detergent may accumulate on the clothes and cause an odour.
· You can smell odours from the clothes if the clothes were left in the appliance after drying or in the washing machine after washing. Unload the clothes promptly at the end of the drying or washing cycle.
· Ensure you can smell same odour in the washing machine. If so, clean the tub of the washing machine referring to the washing machine user manual.
· Always take care of both lint filters clean. If any residues were left in the lint filter after drying, it may cause odours. And also dry the lint filter completely after cleaning.
