STEAM FUNCTIONS
LG’s steam technology allows you to inject fabrics with a swirling jet of hot steam to refresh clothes, reduce static, and make ironing
easier. Simply select the STEAM FRESH™ cycle, or you can 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.
SMARTDIAGNOSIS™
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.
HYBRID DRYER TECHNOLOGY
LG Heat pump dryers use less energy then conventional dryer due to Optimized heat exchanger and self cleaning technology.
This LG Heat pump dryer has been designed to save your money.

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.

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.

12 INTRODUCING YOUR DRYER
WHAT IS A HYBRID DRYER?
What is hybrid dryer technology?
LG hybrid dryers use a combination of conventional heating
elements and a heat pump system to dry your clothes.
The heat pump recovers heat from the hot, moist air that is
normally exhausted to the outside and lost.
Using a heat pump to preheat the air coming into the dryer
recovers this heat and saves electricity, because it takes less
electricity to move the heat than to create it with a conventional
heater. This LG hybrid dryer has been designed to save you
money.
How does the LG hybrid dryer use
less energy than a conventional
dryer?
t#FDBVTFIFBUQVNQTUSBOTGFSIFBUJOTUFBEPGDSFBUJOHJUGSPN
scratch, they use less energy to produce heat than regular
heaters, in most cases.
t*ODPOWFOUJPOBMESZFSTBMMUIFFOFSHZUIBUJTVTFEUPFWBQPSBUF
the moisture in the clothes is vented outside and lost. The hybrid
dryer technology is able to recover some of this wasted energy
and use it to evaporate more moisture, saving energy.
How does it work?
Heat naturally moves from warmer areas toward cooler areas.
Heat pumps control this movement by trapping hot air. Rather
than using a lot of energy to create heat, heat pumps use a little
energy to transfer heat from one place to another using a heat
exchanger.
The heat pump in the dryer is similar to those used in air
conditioners or dehumidifiers. The cold part of the system is used
to condense water and cool the exhaust air, while the hot part of
the system is used to heat the air coming into the drum to dry the
clothes.
How much energy can it save?
The amount of energy saved will depend on cycle selection, load
size, options, vent condition, and many other factors.
The cycles and options that save the most energy will take longer
to dry, but the energy saved in heating more than offsets the
energy used to tumble the clothes, which is relatively small.

Vapor is channelled into an electric
compressor, increasing the pressure

4. Condensed vapor
Condensed vapor returns to liquid,
passes through the expansion valve,
reducing pressure and temperature.
The cycle repeats.
1. Exhaust
Hot, moist air from the
dryer drum flows over the
evaporator. The refrigerant
boils and evaporates
cooling the air and
condensing the moisture.
3. Room Air
Cool room air flows over
the hot condenser as
it enters the dryer. The
refrigerant condenses and
cools, preheating the air
entering the dryer.

INTRODUCING YOUR DRYER
Do I have to use any special settings

some energy. However, some cycles and options will take greater
advantage of the hybrid technology than others, so using those
cycles and options when appropriate may save you even more
energy.
How can I save the most energy
while using my LG hybrid dryer?
The LowTemp Dry+ cycle
Choose this cycle when you have normal cotton or poly fabrics
and a load of less than 9 pounds. This cycle may extend your
drying time in order to maximize the energy savings.
The Eco Hybrid option
If you are using the LowTemp Dry+, Cotton/Normal, Heavy Duty
or Towels cycles, you can add the Eco Hybrid option to increase
your energy savings. Adding the Eco Hybrid option to these cycles
will increase the drying time.
The LowTemp Dry+ cycle with the Eco Hybrid option
The LowTemp Dry+ cycle in combination with the Eco Hybrid
option will give you the most energy savings. Your dry times will
also be the longest on this setting.
