WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury, death or
property damage, follow basic precautions,
including the following:

• Use a heavy metal vent.
• Do not use plastic or thin foil ducts.
• Clean old ducts before installing this dryer.

also vent to the bottom or side (right-side venting is
not available on gas models).
An adapter kit, part number 383EEL9001B, may be
purchased from your LG retailer. This kit contains
duct components necessary to change the dryer vent
location.
