6 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Gas dryers MUST be exhausted to the outside.
• The dryer exhaust system must be exhausted to the outside of the dwelling. If the dryer is not
exhausted outdoors, some fine lint and large amounts of moisture will be expelled into the laundry area.
An accumulation of lint in any area of the home may create a health and fire hazard.
• Do not install near another heat source such as a stove, oven or heater.
• Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding areas free from the accumulation of
lint, dust, and dirt.
• The appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected
to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by a utility.
OPERATION
• Repair or immediately replace all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not
use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.
• If you detect a strange sound, a chemical or burning smell, or smoke coming from the appliance, unplug
it immediately, and contact an LG Electronics customer information center.

out from the outlet.

• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
• Keep the area underneath and around your appliances free of combustible materials (lint, paper, rags,
etc.), gasoline, chemicals and other flammable vapors and liquids.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Read all instructions before using the appliance and save these instructions.
• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose.
• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door of the appliance.
• Do not allow children to play on, in or with the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary
when the appliance is used near children.

a window or door to ventilate the area immediately.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot-water system that has not been used
for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot-water system has not been used
for such a period, before using the appliance turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from
each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do
not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
