Final Installation Check - LG DL X450 Series Owner's Manual

28 INSTALLATION
NOTE
• Before connecting the water line to the dryer,
flush 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.
3
Connect the long dryer hose
inlet valve tightly by hand and then tighten
another 2/3 turn with pliers.
4
Turn on the cold water faucet.
5
Check all hoses and Y-connectors (if used) for
leaks.
NOTE
• If any leaks are found, shut off the water faucet,
remove the hose and check the condition of the
rubber seal.
• In areas with hard water, mineral scale can form
on internal components of the dryer. Use of a
water softener is recommended in areas with
to the dryer
b
hard water. Excessive scale buildup may lead to
the need for certain part replacement or repair.

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.
Test Dryer Heating
Gas Models
Close the dryer door and press the Power button
to turn the dryer on. Press the Time Dry and
Start/Pause buttons to start the test. When the
dryer starts, the igniter should ignite the main
burner.
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.
Electric Models
Close the dryer door and press the Power button
to turn the dryer on. Press the Time Dry and
Start/Pause buttons to start the test. 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
inch (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 front
to back and side to side, and that all four leveling
feet are in firm contact with the floor.
