Step 8: Dryer Airflow - LG ELECTRIC AND GAS DRYER D LG5988W Owner's Manual

STEP 6: Preparation of the Dryer.
Prior to the first use of this appliance, use all-
purpose cleaning products or a solution of detergent
and water, with damp clothes to remove from the
inside of the dryer drum/drying compartment any
dust or dirt that may have accumulated the inside of
the dryer. Plug in your dryer after reviewing the
following parts on your dryer's Electrical
Requirements.
STEP 7: Confirming Heat Source
Operation.
Confirming Heat Source in Gas Dryers
Close the door to the dryer drum/drying
compartment and, after completing all steps in this
manual for proper installation of this dryer, start the
dryer on a heat setting, as described more fully in
the operating instructions that accompany the dryer.
After the dryer starts, the igniter will glow red and
the main burner will ignite.
Warning: If all air is not pinged from the gas line,
the gas igniter may go off before the gas and the
main burner have ignited. If this happens, the
igniter will re-attempt gas ignition after
approximately two minutes.
Confirming Heat Source in Electric Dryers
Close the door to the dryer drum/drying
compartment and, after completing all steps in this
manual for proper installation of this dryer, start the
dryer on a heat setting, as described more fully in
the operating instructions that accompany the dryer.
The exhaust air or the exhaust pipe should be warm
after the dryer has been operating for three minutes.
STEP 8: Dryer Airflow.
Effective dryer operation requires appropriate dryer
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 with
the dryer running with no load.
