Safety Instructions
• If this appliance is supplied from a cord extension set or an electrical connector, portable
outlet device must be positioned so that it is not subject to splashing or ingress of
moisture.
It may cause an electric shock, a fire, malfunction and deformation.
• Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard and
should not be placed in a tumble dryer
• Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol,
kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot water with
an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.
• Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a
tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates
heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or
storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.
It may cause an explosion and a fire by spontaneous combustion.
• Items that have been previously cleaned in washed in soaked in or spotted with
petrol/gasoline, dry cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances
should not be used in a tumble dryer.
It may cause an explosion and a fire by spontaneous combustion.
• Items made of foam, rubber, plastic, or other heat-sensitive fabrics (such as bathroom
rugs,nonslip mats or raincoats) should not be dried in a tumble dryer on a heat setting.
• Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber
backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in

Stacking Installation Instructions
The LG Dryer can be placed on the top of a front loading washing machine. They MUST be fixed with
stacking kit (See the next page). This installation must be conducted by an experienced installer in order
to secure robust installation of both washer and dryer. If this work is done carelessly, the dryer may fall
off.
More importantly, Different washers require different stacking kits. Please have an experienced installer
check the kit.
The following instructions will guide you through the initial steps of setting up your dryer.
Please note that every section of this manual provides important information regarding the preparation and
use of your dryer, and it is important that you review this entire manual before proceeding with any
installation or use. Be sure to observe all listed warnings and cautions. These installation instructions are
intended for use by qualified installers. Read these installation instructions completely and carefully.
Your dryer should not be located near gas hob,
cooker, heater or eye level grill as flames from the
burners could cause damage to your dryer. When
the dryer is fitted under a work surface, allow 15
mm space from each side of the dryer for air to
exit the rear grille. This airflow is critical to
condense the water during drying.
If you use this dryer near or stacked on top of
washing machine, separate main plugs and
sockets must be used for each appliance.
Do not use 2-way adaptor or extension lead.
You can stack the dryer on top of washing
machine to save the space. A stacking kit is
available from your local shop.

CAUTION
CAUTION Concerning the power cord
Most appliances recommend they be placed upon a dedicated circuit; that is, a single outlet circuit which
powers only that appliance and has no additional outlets or branch circuits. Check the specification page of
this owner's manual to be certain.
Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed
power cords, or damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these conditions could result in
electric shock or fire. Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage
or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance, and have the cord replaced with an exact
replacement part by an authorized servicer.
Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a
door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits the
appliance.
Note
For better drying performance, Please keep the
rear of product distance from wall.
