STEAM FUNCTIONS
LG’s steam technology injects fabrics with a swirling jet of hot steam to refresh clothes. Simply select the STEAM
FRESH™ cycle, or add a steam option to selected cycles.
FLOW SENSE™ DUCT BLOCKAGE SENSING SYSTEM INDICATOR
The FLOW SENSE™ duct blockage sensing system detects and alerts you to restrictions in the installed household
ductwork that reduce exhaust airflow through the dryer. If you see the alert: Clean or repair the ducts to remove
the restrictions. Keep your ducts clean to help increase efficiency and reduce long drying times caused by blocked
ducts.
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.

This act requires the governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such
substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide,
formaldehyde, and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.
Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized
further by properly venting the dryer to the outdoors.
WWARNING:This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or
other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.

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
