OPERATION
Operating the Dryer
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.
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.
TURN ON THE DRYER
Press the POWER button to turn on the dryer. The cycle LEDs illuminate and a signal sounds, if turned on. Refer to page 12.
SELECT A CYCLE
Press the cycle selector buttons repeatedly until the desired cycle is selected. The preset temperature, dry level, and option settings for that cycle will be shown. Refer to page 35. Default settings for the selected cycle can now be changed if desired. This can be done using the cycle modifier buttons as shown on page 38. Cycle options can be added using the option buttons as shown on page 38-40.
NOTE: Not all options or modifiers are available on all cycles. A different chime will sound and the LED will not come on if the selection is not allowed.
BEGIN CYCLE
Press and hold the Start button to begin the cycle. The cycle can be paused at any time either by opening the door or by pressing the Start button. If the cycle is not restarted within 4 minutes, the dryer will shut off and the cycle settings will be lost.
END OF CYCLE
When the cycle is finished, the chime will sound if it is set. Remove your clothing from the dryer immediately 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.
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.
Low Temp 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.
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 MORE TIME or LESS TIME.
Sorting Loads
Fabric Care Labels
Most articles of clothing feature fabric care labels that include instructions for proper care.
Grouping Similar Items
For best results, sort clothes into loads that can be dried with the same drying cycle.
Different fabrics have different care requirements, and some fabrics will dry more quickly than others.
Loading the Dryer
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
- Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty. Items such as clips, pens, coins, and keys can damage both your dryer and your clothes. Flammable objects such as lighters or matches could ignite, causing a fire. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
- Never dry clothes that have been exposed to oil, gasoline, or other flammable substances. Washing clothes will not completely remove oil residues. Failure to obey this warning can result in fire, explosion, or death.
NOTE: Loading Tips
- Combine large and small items in a load.
- Damp clothes will expand as they dry. Do not overload the dryer; clothes require room to tumble dry properly.
- Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent these items from snagging or tangling on other clothes.
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 times.
To clean, pull the lint filter straight up and roll any lint off the filter with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash the filter to remove lint. 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.
Storage Under the Lid
- Under the lid are three small storage spaces.
- To open the lid, slide it back.
WARNING: Do not store flammable substances or adhesives under the lid.
Using the Lid
Opening the lid
- Push the front handle to slide the lid open.
Closing the lid
- Pull the top of the handle to slide the lid closed.
WARNING: To avoid injury, do not place fingers under the lid or between the lid and the cabinet when pressing or sliding the top lid open or closed.
Cycle Modifier Buttons
SENSOR DRY cycles have preset settings that are selected automatically. MANUAL DRY cycles have default settings, but you may also customize the settings using the cycle modifier buttons.
Press the button for that option to view and select other settings.
NOTE: To protect your garments, not every dryness level, temperature, or option is available with every cycle. See the Cycle Guide for details.
DRY LEVEL
Selects the level of dryness for the cycle. Press the DRY LEVEL button repeatedly to scroll through available settings.
- This option is only available with SENSOR DRY cycles.
- The dryer will automatically adjust the cycle time. Selecting MORE or VERY increases the cycle time, while LESS or DAMP decreases the cycle time.
- Use a LESS or DAMP setting for items that you wish to iron.
TEMP.
Adjusts the temperature setting from ULTRA LOW to HIGH. This allows precise care of your fabrics and garments. Press the TEMP. button repeatedly to scroll through available settings.
TIME DRY
Allows you 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.
Your dryer features several additional cycle options to customize cycles to meet your individual needs. Certain option buttons also feature a special function (see the following page for details) that can be activated by pressing and holding that option button for 3 seconds.
To add cycle options to a cycle:
