Installation
• Never attempt to operate the appliance if it is damaged,
malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or has missing or broken
parts, including a damaged cord or plug.
• If the power cord is damaged or the hole of the socket outlet is loose,
do not use the power cord and contact an authorized service centre.
• Do not modify the power cord provided with the appliance. Please
contact the LG Customer information centre to advise of its
incompatibility.
• This appliance should only be transported by two or more people
holding the appliance securely.
• Do not install the appliance in a damp and dusty place. Do not install
or store the appliance in any outdoor area, or any area that is subject
to weathering conditions such as direct sunlight, wind, or rain or
temperatures below freezing.
• Do not plug multiple socket outlets, an extension power cable or
adapter with this appliance.
• Disconnect the power cord, house fuse or circuit breaker before
installing or servicing the appliance.
EN
• When moving or installing the product in a different location, call
qualified service personnel for installation and service.
• Fix the drain hose securely in place.
• This appliance is not designed for maritime use or for mobile
installations such as in RVs, trailers, or aircraft.
• This appliance must be positioned near to an electrical power supply.
• When installing or moving the appliance, be careful not to pinch,
crush, or damage the power cord.
4
• Use new hose or hose-set supplied with the appliance. Reusing old
hoses can cause a water leak and subsequent property damage.
• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or
service personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
• This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by
providing a path of least resistance for electric current.
• This appliance is equipped with a power cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding power plug. The power plug
must be plugged into an appropriate socket outlet that is installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
• After installing, check the hose connection for leaks before moving
the appliance into the cabinet opening.
• Do not damage or place heavy items on the power cord of the
appliance.
• This appliance is intended to be used in household and domestic
applications only and must not be used for commercial purposes.
EN
• For a permanently connected dishwasher: This appliance must
be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or
an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit
conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or
lead to the appliance.
• Connect the ground wire to the green ground connector in the
terminal box.
5
Operation
• Immediately unplug the power plug and contact an LG Electronics
customer information centre if you detect a strange sound, odour, or
smoke coming from the appliance.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance. All repairs
and servicing must be performed by qualified service personnel
unless specifically recommended in this Owner’s Manual. Use only
authorized factory parts.
• Do not leave the appliance door open. Children may hang on the
door or crawl inside the appliance, causing damage or injury.
• Do not use flammable gas and combustible substances (benzene,
gasoline, thinner, petroleum, alcohol, etc.) near the appliance.
• Do not attempt to separate any panels or disassemble the appliance.
Do not apply any sharp objects to the control panel in order to

do not touch the appliance or power plug and ventilate the area
immediately.
• In case of flood, disconnect the power plug and contact the LG
Electronics Customer Information Centre.
• 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 tap 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.

appliance and keep them out of the reach of children.
• Do not wash and dry articles that have been soaked in explosive
substances such as gasoline, solvents, solvent-based detergent.
• When loading items to be washed:
− Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door
seal.
− Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-
type injuries.
• Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher
safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Do not touch any heating element (where it is exposed) during or
immediately after use.
• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of the

CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
Disposal of Your Old Appliance
• This crossed-out wheeled bin symbol indicates that waste electrical and
electronic products (WEEE) should be disposed of separately from the municipal
waste stream.
• Old electrical products can contain hazardous substances so correct disposal
of your old appliance will help prevent potential negative consequences for the
environment and human health. Your old appliance may contain reusable parts
that could be used to repair other products, and other valuable materials that can
be recycled to conserve limited resources.

Levelling the Appliance
Levelling the appliance prevents unnecessary
leakage and poor washing. Place the appliance on
a solid, level floor. Do not install the appliance on
an elevated surface.
If the appliance is not properly level, adjust all
levelling feet as necessary.
Turn them clockwise to raise and counterclockwise to lower until the appliance no longer
wobbles, both front-to-back and side-to-side and
corner-to-corner.
Levelling feet
NOTE
• The appliance is not level if there is a rubbing
sound or stickiness when the door is opened.
Levelling feet
NOTE
• Moisture barrier tape is included in the manual
assembly bag.

Installing the Drain Hose
If the end of the drain hose does not fit to the drain
line, use a drain extension kit (optional) that is
resistant to heat and detergent.
This should be available from a plumbing shop or
a hardware store.
Connection to the Waste Spigot
Check the waste spigot when initially installing. An
OE error can occur when the waste spigot below
the sink is not drilled out properly. To connect the
drain hose, drill out at least a 15 mm diameter
hole in the waste spigot before connecting and
securing.
Waste spigot
CAUTION
• Make sure that plastic debris is not remaining
inside of spigot after it has been drilled out.
• Do not attempt to open the waste hole with a
screwdriver and hammer. this will induce debris
to become stuck and cause a malfunction.
• Caution should be taken when passing hoses
through Cabinetry holes as they may have
sharp edges and could damage the hoses.
Smooth or sand edges to avoid damaging the
drain or inlet hose.

• Make sure that the line is not kinked or sharply
bent.
• Make sure the drain hose is straight before
feeding the end of it through the hole for the
water supply.
