OPERATION

Before Use

WARNING

• To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.

Operation Overview

1 Clean the Lint Filter

• If the lint filter has not already been cleaned, lift out the filter and remove the lint from the last load. This will help ensure the fastest and most efficient drying

performance. Make sure to reinstall the filter, pressing down until it clicks firmly into place.

2 Load the Dryer

• Make sure that clothing is pushed entirely into the drum and away from the door seal area. Clothing that gets stuck between the door and seal may be damaged or damage the seal.

• If the load is extra large, you may need to divide it into smaller loads for proper performance and fabric care.

• All strings and attached belts of clothes should be well tied and secured before being put into the drum.

3 Turn on the Dryer

• Press the Power button to turn on the dryer. The cycle LEDs will illuminate and a chime will sound.

4 Select a Cycle

• Turn the cycle selector knob in either direction until the LED for the desired cycle is on. The preset temperature, dry level, and option settings for that cycle will be shown.

• Pressing the Start/Pause button without selecting a cycle immediately starts the Normal cycle with the default settings. Turn the selector knob slightly to select the Normal cycle to change the default settings.

5 Adjust Settings

Default settings for the selected cycle can now be changed, if desired, using the cycle modifier and option buttons.

• Not all modifiers and options are available on all cycles. A different chime will sound and the LED will not come on if the selection is not allowed.

6 Begin Cycle

• Press the Start/Pause button to begin the cycle. The cycle can be paused at any time either by opening the door or by pressing the Start/Pause button.

• If the Start/Pause button is not pressed within a certain time, the dryer shuts off and all settings are lost.

7 End of Cycle

• When the cycle is finished, the chime will sound.

Check the Lint Filter Before Every Load

Always make sure the lint filter a is clean before starting a new load; a clogged lint filter will increase drying time. To clean, pull the lint filter straight up and roll any lint off the filter with your fingers. Push the lint filter firmly back into place. See Regular Cleaning for more information.

Always ensure that the lint filter is properly installed before running the dryer. Running the dryer with a loose or missing lint filter will damage the dryer and articles in the dryer.

Loading the Dryer

NOTE

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

General Tips

Combine large and small items in the same load.
Use mesh laundry bags to separate clothes with zippers, hooks, straps, and drawstrings to prevent them from catching on or tangling with other clothes or damaging the lint filter.

NOTE

Damp clothes will expand as they dry. Do not overload the dryer; clothes require room to tumble and dry properly.

Grouping Similar Items

For the best drying results, and to reduce the possibility of damage to clothing, sort clothes into loads that can be dried with the same drying cycle.

Different fabrics have different care requirements, and some fabrics will dry more quickly than others.

Woolen Items

• Always follow fabric care labels before drying woolen items in a dryer. After the cycle, the items may still be damp. Do not repeat the cycle. Pull the items to their original shape if needed and lay them flat to finish drying.

Woven and Loopknit Materials

• Some woven and loopknit materials may shrink, depending on quality.

Permanent Press and Synthetics

• Do not overload your dryer. Take out permanent press items as soon as the dryer stops to reduce wrinkles.

Baby Clothes and Nightgowns

• Always check the manufacturer’s instructions. ENGLISH

Rubber and Plastics

• Do not dry any items made from or containing rubber or plastics such as:

– Aprons, bibs and chair covers

– Curtains and tablecloths

– Bath mats

Fiberglass

• Do not dry fiberglass articles in your dryer. Glass particles left in the dryer could be picked up by your clothes the next time you use the dryer and irritate your skin.

Fabric Care Labels

• Sort and dry laundry according to care labels, size, and fabric type. Do not overload the dryer. This will save energy and time and give the best drying performance.

Fabric Care Labels

Many articles of clothing include a fabric care label. Using the chart below, adjust the cycle and option selections to care for your clothing according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

|

Temperature sensor failure.

• Turn off the appliance and call for service.

High lights up.

|

Power cord is connected incorrectly.

• Check the connection of the power cord to the terminal block.

Flow Sense LED lights up.

|

Exhaust system is too long or has too many turns/restrictions.

• Do not use the appliance until the exhaust system has been cleaned and/or repaired. Using the appliance with severely restricted exhaust is dangerous and could result in a fire or other property damage.

• Check the outside dryer vent while the appliance is operating to make sure there is strong airflow. If the exhaust system is extremly long, have it repaired or rerouted.

House exhaust system blocked.

• Keep the area around the dryer clean and free of clutter. Check vent hood for damage or ling clogging. Make sure the area around the vent hood is clear.

Operation

Problem

|

Possible Cause & Solution

---|---

Flow SenseTM

indicator lights up during the drying cycle.

|

Exhaust system is too long or has too many turns/restrictions.

• Install a shorter or straighter duct run. See the Installation instructions for details.

Partial blockage of the ductwork due to lint buildup or other foreign object.

• Ductwork should be checked/cleaned immediately. The appliance can be used in this condition, but drying times will be longer and energy consumption will increase.

The appliance has detected a restriction in the external dryer venting.

• If exhaust restrictions are sensed by the Flow SenseTM system, the indicator will remain on for 2 hours after the end of the cycle. Opening the door or pressing the Power button will turn off the display.

The Flow SenseTM

indicator remains active after clearing the restriction in the venting.

|

After clearing the restrictions, the Flow SenseTM system requires multiple, consecutive cycles to determine that the performance value has improved before the Flow SenseTM indicator is reset.

• If the Flow SenseTM indicator remains active for more than five cycles after the restriction has been cleared, call for service.

The appliance will not turn on.

|

Power cord is not properly plugged in.

• Make sure that the power plug is securely plugged into a grounded outlet matching the appliance’s rating plate.

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.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem

|

Possible Cause & Solution

---|---

The appliance does not heat.

|

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.

Gas supply or service is turned off.

• Confirm that the hose gas shutoff and the shutoff valves of the dryer are both fully open. Even if gas is not supplied to the appliance, it will run and no error codes will display. Verify that other gas appliances in the home are working normally.

Energy Saver option is selected.

• If using Normal cycle, deselect the Energy Saver option that is selected by default. This option reduces energy use by adding an air dry section to the beginning of the cycle. It is normal to feel no heat at the beginning of the cycle while in Energy Saver mode.

Clothes take too long to dry.

|

Exhaust ducts are blocked, dirty, or duct run is too long.

• Confirm that the exhaust duct is properly configured and free of debris, lint, and obstructions. Make sure that the outside wall damper can open properly and is not blocked, jammed, or damaged.

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 and heavy fabrics are loaded.

• 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.

Dryer 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 filter before every load. With the lint removed, hold the 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.

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 appliance is overloaded.

• Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for better drying performance and efficiency.

The appliance is underloaded.

• If you are drying a very small load, add a few extra items to ensure proper tumble action. If the load is small and you are using SENSOR DRY cycles, the electronic control cannot properly sense the dryness of the load and may shut off too soon. Use MANUAL DRY cycles or add some extra wet clothes to the load.

Energy Saver option is selected. (on some models)

• If using Normal cycle, deselect the Energy Saver option that is selected by default. This option reduces energy use by adding an air dry section to the beginning of the cycle. It is normal to feel no heat at the beginning of the cycle while in Energy Saver mode.

Drying time is not consistent.

|

Heat settings, load size, or dampness of clothing is not consistent.

• The drying time for a load will vary depending on the size of the load, the type of fabrics, the wetness of the clothes and the condition of the lint filter. Even an unbalanced load in the washer can cause poor spinning, resulting in wetter clothes which will take longer to dry.

Performance

Problem

|

Possible Cause & Solution

---|---

Clothes are wrinkled.

|

Clothes dried too long (overdried).

• Overdrying a load of laundry can lead to wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter drying time or use a lower dry level setting and remove items while they still retain a slight amount of moisture.

Greasy or dirty spots on clothes.

|

Fabric softener used incorrectly.

• Check and follow the instructions provided with your fabric softener.

Clean and dirty clothes are being dried together.

• Use your dryer 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 dryer.

• 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 washer and detergent. Some difficult soils may require pre-treating prior to washing.

Clothes are

shrinking.

|

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 a dryer. Use a low or no heat setting.

Lint on clothes.

|

Lint filter not cleaned properly.

• Remove the lint from the filter before every load. With the lint removed, hold the filter up to a light to see if it is dirty or clogged. If it looks dirty, follow the cleaning instructions in the MAINTENANCE section. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the filter during the cycle.

Laundry not 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).

Excess static in clothes.

• Use a fabric softener to reduce static electricity. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a buildup of static electricity.

• Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time, or use Sensor Dry cycles.

The appliance is overloaded.

• Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for drying.

Tissue, paper, etc., left in pockets.

• Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying clothes.

Excess static in

clothes after drying.

|

Fabric softener is not used or is used incorrectly.

• Use a fabric softener, if available, to reduce static electricity. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Clothes dried too long (overdried).

• Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a buildup of static electricity. Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time, or use Manual Dry cycles. Select a lower dry level setting on Sensor Dry cycles, if necessary.

Drying synthetics, permanent press, or synthetic blends.

• These fabrics are naturally more prone to static buildup. Try using fabric softener, or use a lower dry level setting and/or shorter time settings for Manual Dry cycles.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem

|

Possible Cause & Solution

---|---

Clothes have damp spots after a Sensor Dry cycle.

|

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 Manual Dry cycle 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 cycle has completed, empty the lint trap, and then set a Manual Dry cycle to finish drying the item(s).

Odors

Problem

|

Possible Cause & Solution

---|---

The appliance has an unpleasant odor.

|

Are you using the appliance for the first time?

• The odor is caused by the rubber material inside the appliance. The odor is normal when the appliance is new and disappears after you run several cycles.

Do you smell an odor during use?

• Do not exceed the manufacturer’s recommended amount of detergent when washing clothes. Excess detergent can build up on clothing and cause odors.

• Leaving clothes in the washer or dryer after the cycle ends can lead to odors. Unload clothing promptly when the cycle ends.

• Keep lint filters clean. Clogged or dirty lint filters can cause odors. After cleaning the lint filter, allow it to dry completely before using it.

Instead of arbitration, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, but that small claims court action may not be brought on a class or representative basis.

Arbitration Rules and Procedures. To begin arbitration of a claim, either you or LG must make a written demand for arbitration. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and will be conducted before a single arbitrator under the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (referred to as the “AAA Rules”) and under the procedures set forth in this section. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org/consumer. Send a copy of your written demand for arbitration, as well as a copy of this provision, to the AAA in the manner described in the AAA Rules. You must also send a copy of your written demand to LG at LG Electronics USA, Inc. Attn: Legal Department- Arbitration 111 Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632. If there is a conflict between the AAA Rules and the rules set forth in this section, the rules set forth in this section will govern. This arbitration provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court of competent jurisdiction. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision and to the arbitrability of the dispute are for the court to decide. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this provision.

Governing Law. The law of the state of your residence shall govern this Limited Warranty and any disputes between us except to the extent that such law is preempted by or inconsistent with applicable federal law.

Fees/Costs. You do not need to pay any fee to begin an arbitration. Upon receipt of your written demand for arbitration, LG will promptly pay all arbitration filing fees to the AAA unless you seek more than $25,000 in damages, in which case the payment of these fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Except as otherwise provided for herein, LG will pay all AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the AAA Rules and this arbitration provision. If you prevail in the arbitration, LG will pay your attorneys’ fees and expenses as long as they are reasonable, by considering factors including, but not limited to, the purchase amount and claim amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if applicable law allows for an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, an arbitrator can award them to the same extent that a court would. If the arbitrator finds either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all arbitration fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such a situation, you agree to reimburse LG for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Except as otherwise provided for, LG waives any rights it may have to seek attorneys’ fees and expenses from you if LG prevails in the arbitration.

Hearings and Location. If your claim is for $25,000 or less, you may choose to have the arbitration conducted solely on the basis of (1) documents submitted to the arbitrator, (2) through a telephonic hearing, or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $25,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Any in-person arbitration hearings will be held at a location within the federal judicial district in which you reside unless we both agree to another location or we agree to a telephonic arbitration.

Opt Out. You may opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. If you opt out, neither you nor LG can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding.
