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 equipmentgrounding
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 equipmentgrounding terminal or lead
on the appliance.
Electric shock can result if the dryer is not properly
grounded.

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.

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
from 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
evaporate 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.
2. Vapor
Vapor is channelled into an electric
compressor, increasing the pressure
and temperature of the vapor.

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.

Do I have to use any special

save 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.
