Ultra big Capacity Drum
Lower Energy Consumption
Reduced Drying Times
Reduced noise levels
Easy of Use
The ultra big 9.0kg capacity drum on this LG dryer allows you to
dry more washing at once, saving time!
LG Heat pump dryers use less energy than conventional dryers due
to optimized heat exechanger and auto cleaningTM technology.
This LG Heat pump dryer has been designed to save your money.
Drying times are now shorter due to Hybrid heating system
and optimized heat exechanger on this LG dryer.
We have reduced the operating noise of this LG dryer by using
innovative sound-absorbing and noise-screening technologies,
making it much quieter than conventional dryers.
The wide, electronically controlled LCD display on this machine
is very easy to use. Simply select the cycle you require
and your LG dryer will do the rest.
SmartDiagnosisTM is available by a Phone.

Level the Dryer
1. Leveling the dryer prevents unnecessary noise
and vibration. Place your dryer on a solid,
level floor.
Place the dryer in an area free from flammable
materials, condensation and not liable to
freezing.
2. If the dryer is not properly level, adjust the front
levelling feet as necessary.
Turn them clockwise to raise and
counter-clockwise to lower until the dryer no
longer wobbles, both front-to-back and
side-to-side.

3-1) 23.6 inch(600mm)
3-2) 21.7 inch(550mm)
¥ Fasten the 2 screws that were removed earlier
from dryer to stacking kit.
¥ Use 4 screws in accessory box [0.6inch(16mm)]
to assemble washer rear cover and stacking kit.
¥ The procedure for the opposite side will be the
same.
