• Keep fingers out of pinch point areas; clearances between the door and cabinet are necessarily small. Be
careful closing door when children are nearby.
• 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.
• Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in the appliance. Items contaminated with cooking oils may
contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.
• Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that could
ignite or explode.
• Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
• Do not open door during operation. The performance of the product may be adversely affected. If the
product is installed on or near carpet, condensation from escaping hot air or steam may stain or damage
the carpet.
• Do not use the product for other than the intended purposes. Damage incurred by using the product for
purposes other than those specified in this user manual are not covered by the warranty.
Connecting Electricity
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the ground prong from the power cord. To prevent
personal injury or damage to the appliance, the electrical power cord must be plugged into a properly
grounded outlet.
• This appliance must be plugged into a 120-VAC, 60-Hz grounded outlet protected by a 15-ampere fuse or
circuit breaker. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, explosion, or death.
• This appliance must be plugged into a properly grounded outlet. Electrical shock can result if the
appliance is not properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to
make sure the outlet is properly grounded. Failure to follow these instructions can create an electric
shock hazard and/or a fire hazard.
• Install the appliance where the plug is easily accessible. Unplug the appliance when not in use to avoid
risk of fire or electric shock.
• Unplug the appliance before disassembly or repair to avoid risk of electric shock.
• The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating plate. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading
house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
• Do not use an extension cord to connect to an outlet. Doing so could result in a fire or electric shock.
• Never unplug your appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight
out from the outlet. The power cord can be damaged, resulting in a risk of fire and electric shock.
• Contact LG or a qualified repair person immediately to repair or 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. The power cord can melt, creating electric shock and/or fire hazard.
• When installing or moving the appliance, be careful not to pinch, crush, or damage the power cord. This
will prevent injury and damage to the appliance from fire and electric shock.
• Do not use a portable multi-socket outlet which is not properly grounded. If needed, use only a multi-
socket outlet which is properly grounded and has a rating of 15 A or higher. Failure to do so may result in
electric shock or fire caused by the device overheating. If the circuit breaker on the device trips, it could
turn off power to the appliance.
Maintenance and Disposal
• Wipe foreign objects (such as dust and water) off the prongs of the power plug and contact areas
regularly. Do not use a wet or damp cloth when cleaning the plug.
• Do not use an appliance to dry the interior. Do not light a candle to remove interior odors.
