WARNING
•To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
before operating this appliance.
Using the Dryer
1 Clean the Lint Filter
If the lint filter has not already been cleaned, lift out the filter and remove
the lint from the last load. This will help ensure the fastest and most efficient
drying performance. Make sure to reinstall the filter, pressing down until it
clicks firmly into place.
2 Load the Dryer
Load the dryer with the wet laundry from the washer. If the load is extra large,
you may need to divide it into smaller loads for proper performance and fabric
care.
3 Turn on the Dryer
Press the Power button to turn on the dryer. The cycle LEDs will illuminate
and a chime will sound.
4 Select a Cycle
Turn the cycle selector knob in either direction until the LED for the desired
cycle is on. The preset temperature, dry level, and option settings for that
cycle will be shown. Default settings for the selected cycle can now be
changed if desired. Refer to the Cycle Setting and Options page for details.
NOTE
•Not all options or modifiers are available on all cycles. Refer to
the Cycle Guide page for default settings and available options.
A different chime will sound and the LED will not come on if the
selection is not available.
5 Begin Cycle
Press the Start/Pause button to begin the cycle. The cycle can be paused at
any time either by opening the door or by pressing the Start/Pause button. If
the cycle is not restarted within Certain Time of being paused, the dryer will
shut off and the settings will be lost.
6 End of Cycle
When the cycle is finished, the chime will sound. Immediately remove your
clothing from the dryer to reduce wrinkling. If Wrinkle Care is selected, the
dryer will tumble briefly every few minutes to help prevent wrinkles from
setting in the clothes.

4OPERATION_DLE3400* / DLG3401*
Check the Lint Filter Before
Every Load
Always make sure the lint filter is clean before
starting a new load; a clogged lint filter will
increase drying time. To clean, pull the lint filter
straight up and roll any lint off the filter with your
fingers. Push the lint filter firmly back into place.
See Regular Cleaning for more information.
Always ensure the lint filter is properly installed
before running the dryer. Running the dryer with
a loose or missing lint filter will damage the dryer
and articles in the dryer.

Loading the Dryer
WARNING
•Check all pockets to make sure that they are
empty. Items such as clips, pens, coins, and
keys can damage both the dryer and your
clothes. Flammable objects such as lighters or
matches could ignite, causing a fire.
•Never dry clothes that have been exposed to
oil, gasoline, or other flammable substances.
Washing clothes will not completely remove oil
residues.
NOTE
Loading Tips
•Combine large and small items in the same
load.
•Damp clothes will expand as they dry. Do not
overload the dryer; clothes require room to
tumble and dry properly.
•Use mesh laundry bags to separate clothes
with zippers, hooks, straps, and drawstrings to
prevent them from catching on or tangling with
other clothes or damaging the lint filter.

Cycle Guide
Sensor Dry Cycles
Sensor Dry cycles utilize LG’s unique dual sensor
system to detect and compare the moisture level
in clothes and in the air and adjust the drying
time as needed to ensure superior results. The
dryer automatically sets the dryness level and
temperature at the recommended setting for each
cycle. The estimated time remaining will be shown
in the display.
NOTE
•To protect your garments not every dryness
level, temperature, or option is available with
every cycle. See the Cycle Guide for details.
Manual Dry Cycles
Use Manual Dry cycles to select a specific amount
of drying time and a drying temperature. When
a Manual Dry cycle is selected, the Estimated
Time Remaining display shows the actual time
remaining in your cycle. You can change the actual
time in the cycle by pressing the More Time or
Less Time buttons.
NOTE
•The Energy Saver option is turned on by
default in the Normal Cycle. Turn off the
Energy Saver option for a faster Normal cycle
which begins with heated drying. To turn the
Energy Saver default off, press and hold the
Energy Saver button. ON or OFF appears in
the display.

•The dryer will automatically adjust the cycle
time. Selecting More or Very will increase the
cycle time, while Less or Damp will decrease
the cycle time.
•Use a Less or Damp setting for items that you
wish to iron.
Temp.
Use this button to adjust the temperature setting.
This allows precise care of fabrics and garments.
Press the Temp. button repeatedly to scroll
through available settings.
Time Dry
Use this button to manually select the drying time,
from 20 to 60 minutes, in 10-minute increments.
Use this for small loads or to remove wrinkles.
Use the More Time/Less Time buttons to add or
reduce the drying time in 1-minute increments.
Signal
Use this button to adjust the volume of the end of
cycle signal or turn off the signal. Press the button
repeatedly until the desired volume setting is

when the load is approximately 80% dry. This
allows you to remove faster-drying lightweight
items or items that you would like to iron or hang
while they are still slightly damp.
Energy Saver

consumption of the Normal Cycle, depending

section and the drying time is increased. Turn
off the Energy Saver option for a faster Normal
cycle which begins with heated drying. To turn
the Energy Saver default off, press and hold the
Energy Saver button. ON or OFF appears in the
display.
