13INSTALLATION

Choosing the Proper Location

Install the washer on a solid oor that is strong and

rigid enough to support the weight of the washer,

even when fully loaded, without exing or bouncing. If the oor has too much ex, you may need to reinforce it to make it more rigid. If the oor is not

solid, it may cause severe vibration and noise.

NOTE

• Before installing the washer, make sure the oor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oil so the washer feet cannot slide easily. Leveling feet

that can move or slide on the oor can contribute to

excess vibration and noise due to poor contact with

the oor.

• Allow for sufcient space between the walls and the washer for installation.

Power Outlet

• The power outlet must be within 60 inches (1.5 m) of either side of the washer.

• The appliance and outlet must be positioned so that the plug is easily accessible.

• Do not overload the outlet with more than one appliance.

• The outlet must be grounded in accordance with current electrical wiring codes and regulations.

• Use a time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.

NOTE

• It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the product owner to have a proper outlet installed by a

qualied electrician.

NOTE

• The washer must be installed on rm ooring to minimize vibration during the spin cycle. Concrete

ooring is best, but a wood oor is sufcient,

provided it is built to FHA standards.

faucets, turn on the water faucets to ush out

foreign substances (dirt, sand or sawdust) in the water lines. Let water drain into a bucket, and check the water temperature to make sure you've connected the hoses to the correct faucets.

• Do not reuse old hoses. Use only new hoses when installing the washer. Old hoses could leak

or burst causing ooding and property damage.

Contact an LG Customer Information Center for assistance in buying hoses.

NOTE

• Periodically check the hoses for cracks, leaks, and

wear, and replace the hoses every ve years. Do

not stretch the water hoses intentionally, and make sure that they are not pinched, crushed or kinked by other objects.

• Water supply pressure must be between 20 psi and 120 psi (138 – 827 kPa). If the water supply pressure is more than 120 psi, a pressure reducing valve must be installed.

• To provide optimum washing performance, the hot water temperature should be set at 120 – 135 °F (48 – 57 °C) and the cold at 60 °F (15 °C).

• The washer should never be installed or stored in a location subject to freezing temperatures. Damage to the water lines and internal mechanisms of the washer can result. If the washer was exposed to freezing temperatures prior to installation, allow it to stand at room temperature for several hours before use and check for leaks prior to operation.

17INSTALLATION

Connecting the Drain Hose

NOTE

• The drain hose should always be properly secured. Failure to properly secure the drain hose can result

in ooding and property damage.

• The drain must be installed in accordance with any applicable local codes and regulations.

Leveling the Appliance

The tub of the washer spins at very high speeds. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement,

the oor must be a level, solid surface. The slope

beneath the washer should not exceed 1 inch, and all

four leveling feet must rest rmly on the oor.

WARNING

• To prevent the washer from tipping over, always move stacked machines from the bottom, not the top.

NOTE

• Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary to level the washer. Extending the leveling feet more than necessary can cause the washer to vibrate

• Before installing the washer, make sure that the

oor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and

oil so the washer feet cannot slide easily. Feet

that move or slide on the oor can contribute to

excessive vibration and noise due to poor contact

with the oor.

Position the washer in its nal location.

Take special care not to pinch, strain, or crush the water and drain lines. If you have a carpenter's level, you can place it across the top of the washer.

22 OPERATION

Sorting Laundry

CAUTION

• The tub should not be tightly packed with items. The lid of the washer should close easily.

• Use the Bulky/Large cycle in the Main Washer for buoyant or nonabsorbent items such as pillows or comforters. Refer to owner's manual included with washing machine. Failure to follow this caution can result in leakage.

Grouping Similar Items

For the best washing results, and to reduce the possibility of damage to clothing, care should be taken to sort the clothing into loads that are made up of similar items.

Mixing different fabric types and/or soil levels can result in poor wash performance, color transfer, discoloration, fabric damage or linting. Fabrics should be sorted into groups as described below.

Colors

Sort articles by color. Wash dark clothes together in a separate load from light colors or whites. Mixing dark clothes with light clothes can result in dye transfer or discoloration of the lighter clothes.

Soil Level

Wash heavily soiled clothing together. Washing lightly soiled clothing in the same load with heavily soiled clothing could result in poor wash performance for the lightly soiled clothing.

Fabric Type

Delicate articles should not be mixed with heavy or sturdy fabric types. Washing heavy fabrics in a delicate load can result in poor wash performance for the heavy fabrics and possible damage to the delicates.

Lint Type

Some fabrics attract and bind lint to them while others give off lint in the laundry process. Avoid mixing these lint collectors and lint producers in the same load. Mixing these fabrics will result in pilling and linting on the lint collectors. (For example, lint collector—knit sweater; lint producer—terry cloth towels.)

23OPERATION

Loading the Washer

• Check and empty pockets. Paper clips, coins, matches, etc. can damage clothing and the washer.

• Close zippers and hooks, and tie drawstrings to prevent snagging or tangling of clothes.

• Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results.

• Do not wash single small items. Add 1-2 similar items to the load to prevent an out-of-balance load.

• Large, bulky items, such as a blanket, or bedspread, should be washed individually in the Main Washer.

• Do not wash/spin waterproof items. Washing raincoats or sleeping bags may result in abnormal vibration or may cause the load to bounce, which could damage the tub.

• Wash small, light items in a mesh bag. Items like underwear can get caught in the door seal, and a brassiere hook may damage other items or the tub.

• The washer will not ll or operate with the lid open.

• Do not overload the tub. Clothes should t loosely in

the tub under the maximum ll line. Loading clothes over the ll line may result in damage to clothing

and the washer.

- Load clothes loosely, and do not overll the tub.

Clothes need room to circulate in order to get clean.

- Do not press down on items while stacking them

in the tub.

CAUTION

• Close the lid until it clicks before sliding the drawer in to begin the cycle.

• Press to open the lid. Do not force the lid of the washer open. Doing so may damage the appliance.

Adding Cleaning Products

Detergent Use

This washer is designed for use with only HE (High-

Efciency) detergents. HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more efciently to improve washing

and rinsing performance, and help to keep the interior of the washer clean. Using detergent that is not HE may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance which could result in error codes, cycle failure, and machine damage.

Designed specially to use only HE

(High-Efciency) detergent

• This washer requires very little detergent. For proper wash performance, always use the detergent dispenser provided with the machine.

• The dispenser holds a maximum of 2 teaspoons (10 g/10 cc) of HE detergent. Most normal loads require

only 1 teaspoon (5 g/5 cc) of detergent, or lling the

dispenser to the halfway line.

• Do not use a full detergent pod in the Mini Washer. Using too much detergent may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance. Reduce detergent amount or add an extra rinse if detergent residue is left on fabrics.

• Use extra care when measuring 2X and 3X concentrated detergents because even a small amount extra can lead to problems.

• Detergents designated as HE-compatible may not provide optimal results.

Maximum (2 tsp., 10 g) Normal load amount (1 tsp., 5 g)

liquid fabric softener.

Method 2: If You Miss the Add Point

Press the Power button to interrupt the cycle.

Select the Rinse+Spin cycle and press the Start/

instructions above.

NOTE

• Make sure there is water in the tub before adding liquid fabric softener.

• The softener can also be diluted with water and added directly into the tub. Do not pour undiluted softener directly onto clothing because it may stain fabrics.

Adding Water Softener

• A water softener, such as anti-limescale (e.g. Calgon) can be used to cut down on the use of detergent in extremely hard water areas. Dispense

according to the amount specied on the packaging.

First add detergent and then the water softener.

• Use the quantity of detergent required for soft water.

Close the lid, slide the drawer closed, and press

Start/Pause to restart the cycle.

NOTE

• To disable or enable the fabric softener alert, press

and hold the Rinse+Spin and Extra Rinse buttons for 3 seconds.

• The fabric softener should be added within 30 seconds of hearing the chime.

CAUTION

• Liquid chlorine bleach or powdered bleach cannot be used in the Mini Washer. To use bleach, use the Main Washer and follow instructions in the owner's manual for that machine.

• Do not place or store laundry products, such as detergent, bleach, or liquid fabric softener, on top of the washer. Wipe up any spills immediately. These products can damage controls.
