WARNING
It is important that
you review this entire manual before installing and using your dryer. Detailed instructions concerning electrical
connections, gas connections, and exhaust requirements are provided on the following pages.
Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45°F (7°C). At lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off
at the end of an automatic cycle. This can result in longer drying times. The dryer must not be installed or stored in
an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather. Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not
permit, installation of the dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building
inspector.
Clearances
INSTALLATION SPACING FOR RECESSED AREA OR CLOSET INSTALLATION
The following clearances are recommended for this dryer. Although this dryer has been tested for 1inch (2.5cm)
clearance on the sides and rear, the recommended clearances should be considered for the following reasons:
• A location that allows for proper exhaust installation.
A gas dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. See
.
• A grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft.
(61 cm) of either side of the dryer. See
• A sturdy floor to support the total dryer weight of 200
lbs (90.7 kg). The combined weight of a companion
appliance should also be considered.
• No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the
same closet as a dryer.
• Additional clearance should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing.
• Additional clearances might be required for wall, door
and floor moldings.
• Additional clearance should be considered on all sides
of the dryer to reduce noise transfer.
For closet installation, with a door, minimum
ventilation openings in the top and bottom of the
door are required. Louvered doors with equivalent
ventilation openings are acceptable.
• Companion appliance clearances should also be
considered.

NOTE
• Floor must be level, with a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.5 cm) under entire dryer. Clothes may not tumble
properly, and automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly if dryer is not level.
• For a garage installation, you will need to place the dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor. If using a
pedestal, you will need 18 inches (46 cm) to the bottom of the dryer.
NOTE
There should be at least a little space around the dryer (or any other appliance) to eliminate the transfer of
vibration from one to the other. With enough vibration, the appliances will make noise or touch each other
causing paint damage and making even more noise.

ROUTING AND CONNECTING DUCTWORK
NOTE
Deduct 6 ft. (1.8 m) for each additional elbow. Use of
more than four 90* elbows is not recommended.
NOTE
Follow the guidelines below to maximize drying
performance and reduce lint buildup and
condensation in the ductwork.
Ductwork and fittings are NOT included and must be
purchased separately.
• Use 4-inch (10.2 cm) diameter rigid or semirigid
metal ductwork.
• The exhaust duct run should be as short as possible.
• Use as few elbow joints as possible.
• The male end of each section of exhaust duct must
point away from the dryer.
• Use duct tape on all duct joints.
• Insulate ductwork that runs through unheated areas
in order to reduce condensation and lint buildup on
duct surfaces.
• Failure to exhaust the dryer correctly will void the
dryer’s warranty.

NOTE
• If any leaks are found, shut o the water faucet,
remove the hose and check the condition of the
rubber seals.
NOTE
• Before connecting the water line to the dryer, ush
several gallons of water into a drain or bucket. This will
help prevent foreign particles such as sand and scale
from clogging the dryer inlet valve.
• Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result.
NOTE
• Water supply pressure must be between 20 psi and 120 psi (138–827 kPa).
• Do not strip or cross-thread when connecting the inlet hose to the valve.
• If the water supply pressure is more than 120 psi (827 kPa), a pressure reducing valve must be installed.
• Periodically check the condition of the hose and replace the hose if necessary.
• Replace inlet hoses after ve years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure.
• Record hose installation or replacement dates on the hoses for future reference.

Special Requirements for
Manufactured or Mobile Homes
Any installation in a manufactured or mobile home must
comply with the Manufactured Home Construction and
Safety Standards Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 or Standard
CAN/CSA Z240 MH and local codes and ordinances. If
you are uncertain whether your proposed installation
will comply with these standards, please contact a
service and installation professional for assistance.
• A gas dryer must be permanently attached to the floor.
• The electrical connection for an electric dryer must
be a 4-wire connection. More detailed information
concerning the electrical connection is provided in the
section Connecting Electric Dryers.
• To reduce the risk of combustion and fire, the dryer
must be vented to the outside.
• DO NOT vent the dryer under a manufactured home or
mobile home.
• Electric dryers may be vented to the outside using the
back, left, right, or bottom panel.
• Gas dryers may be vented to the outside using the
back, left, or bottom panel. Gas dryers may not be
vented to the outside using the right side panel
because of the burner housing.
• The dryer exhaust duct must be affixed securely to
the manufactured or mobile home structure, and the
exhaust duct must be made of a material that will resist
fire and combustion.
It is recommended that you use a rigid, semi-rigid, or
flexible metal duct.
• DO NOT connect the dryer exhaust duct to any other
duct, vent, chimney, or other exhaust duct.
• Make sure the dryer has adequate access to outside
fresh air to ensure proper operation. The opening for
outside fresh air must be at least 25 in
2
(163 cm
2
).
• It is important that the clearance of the duct from any
combustible construction be at least 2 inches (5 cm),
and when venting the dryer to the outdoors, the dryer
can be installed with a clearance of 1 inch (2.5 cm) at
the sides and back of the dryer.
• Please be aware that venting materials are not supplied
with the dryer. You should obtain the venting materials
necessary for proper installation.
Final Installation Check
Once you have completed the installation of the dryer
and it is in its final location, confirm proper operation
with the following tests and the Installation Test (Duct
Check) on the following page.
Testing Dryer Heating
Close the dryer door, press the ON/OFF button to turn
the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting.
When the dryer starts, the igniter should ignite the main
burner.
Close the dryer door, press the ON/OFF button to turn
the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting. The
exhaust air should be warm after the dryer has been
operating for 3 minutes.
Checking Airflow
Effective dryer operation requires proper airflow.
The adequacy of the airflow can be measured by
evaluating the static pressure. Static pressure in the
exhaust duct can be measured with a manometer,
placed on the exhaust duct approximately 2 ft. (60.9 cm)
from the dryer.
Static pressure in the exhaust duct should not exceed 0.6
inches (1.5 cm). The dryer should be checked while the
dryer is running with no load.
Checking Levelness
Once the dryer is in its final location, recheck the dryer
to be sure it is level. Make sure it is level from front to
back and side to side, and that all four leveling feet are
firmly on the floor.
NOTE
If all air is not purged from the gas line, the gas igniter
may turn off before the main burner ignites. If this
happens, the igniter will reattempt gas ignition after
approximately two minutes.

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.
LowTemp Dry
This cycle can save energy over the Normal cycle,
depending on the load size. It may be necessary to adjust
the Dryness Level to achieve the desired amount of drying.
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
MORE TIME or LESS TIME.
NSF International (formerly the National Sanitation
Foundation), certifies that the cycle
reduces 99.9% of bacteria on laundry, and none of the
bacteria will carry over onto the next laundry load.

Drying time is
not consistent
• Heat settings, load size, or
dampness of clothing is not
consistent.
•
The drying time for a load will vary depending on the heat
setting, the type of heat used (electric, natural gas, or LP gas),
the size of the load, the type of fabrics, the wetness of the
clothes, and the condition of the exhaust ducts and lint filter.
Clothes take
too long to dry
• Load is not properly sorted.
• Large load of heavy fabrics.
• Dryer controls are not set
properly.
• Lint filter needs to be cleaned.
• Exhaust ducts blocked, dirty, or
duct run is too long.
• House fuse is blown, circuit
breaker has tripped, or power
outage has occurred.
• Dryer is overloaded.
• Dryer is underloaded.
•
Energy Saver option selected
• Separate heavy items from lightweight items. Larger and
heavier items take longer to dry.
• Heavy fabrics take longer to dry because they tend to
retain more moisture. To help reduce and maintain more
consistent drying times for large and heavy fabrics,
separate these items into smaller loads of a consistent size.
• Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load
you are drying.
• Make sure the lint filter is cleaned before every load. With
some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be
necessary to clean the filter during the cycle.
• Confirm that the exhaust ductwork is properly configured
and free of debris, lint, and obstructions. Make sure that
outside wall dampers can open properly and are not
blocked, jammed, or damaged.
• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase
fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it
corrected by a qualified electrician.
• Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.
• If you are drying a very small load, add a few extra items to
ensure proper tumbling action.
• If using the Cotton/Normal cycle, deselect the Energy Saver
option. This option reduces energy use by adding an air dry
section to the beginning of the cycle.
Clothes are
wrinkled
• Clothes dried too long
(overdried).
• Clothes left in dryer too long
after cycle ends.
