• In case of a water leak from the appliance, disconnect the power plug
and contact the LG Electronics customer information centre.
• Turn off water taps to relieve pressure on hoses and valves and to
minimize leakage if a break or rupture should occur. Check the
condition of the fill hoses; they may need replacement after 5 years.
• If there is a gas leakage (isobutane, propane, natural gas, etc.) within
the home, do not touch the appliance or power plug and ventilate the
area immediately.
• If the drain hose or inlet hose is frozen during winter, use it only after
thawing.
• Keep all washing detergents, softener and bleach away from
children.
• Do not touch the power plug or the appliance controls with wet
hands.
• Do not bend the power cable excessively or place a heavy object on it.
• Do not put your hand, foot or anything under the appliance while the

EN
• If, during spinning, opening the door does not stop the drum within
about 10 seconds, immediately discontinue operating the appliance
and contact your dealer or LG Electronics service centre.
• Do not use a power outlet, wiring equipment and extension cord of
which the electric capacity is lower than the appliance's rated
capacity.
• When the air temperature is high and the water temperature is low,
condensation may occur and thus wet the floor.
• Wipe off dirt or dust on the contacts of the power plug.
Maintenance
• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before cleaning the
appliance. Setting the controls to the OFF or stand by position does
not disconnect this appliance from the power supply.
• Securely plug the power plug in the outlet socket after completely
removing any moisture and dust.
• Do not spray water inside or outside the appliance to clean it.
• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cable. Always
grip the power plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet
socket.
• Only qualified service personnel from LG Electronics service centre
should disassemble, repair, or modify the appliance. Contact an LG
Electronics customer information centre if you move and install the
appliance in a different location.
Disposal

Connecting the Water Inlet
Hoses
Before connecting the water inlet hose to the water
tap, check the hose fitting type and then choose
the correct instruction.
Note for Connection
• Water supply pressure must be between
and
800 kPa
(0.5 - 8.0 kgf / cm²). If the water
supply pressure is more than
decompression device should be installed.
• Do not overtighten the water inlet hose to the
valve.
• Periodically check the condition of the hose and
replace the hose if necessary.
800 kPa
Checking the Rubber Seal
Two rubber seals a are supplied with the water
inlet hoses. They are used to prevent water leaks.
Connection to taps is sufficiently tight.
• Do not use mechanical devices such as multi
grips to tighten the inlet hoses. Ensure that the
curved end of the water inlet hose is connected

• After connecting the water inlet hose to the
water tap, turn on the water tap to flush out
foreign substances (dirt, sand, sawdust, and etc.)
in the water lines. Let the water drain into a
bucket, and check the water temperature.
Connecting the Hose to the

• After completing connection, if water leaks from
the hose, repeat the same steps. Use the most
conventional type of tap for the water supply. In
case that the tap is square or too big, remove the
guide plate before inserting the tap into the
adaptor.
Installing the Drain Hose
Before connecting the drain hose, check your drain
hose model and choose the correct instruction.
Installing the Drain Hose with
the Elbow Bracket
The drain hose must not be placed higher than
cm
above the floor. Water in the appliance may not
drain or may drain slowly.
• Securing the drain hose correctly will protect the
floor from damage due to water leakage.

• The discharge height should be approximately
90 - 120 cm
from the floor.
Levelling the Appliance
Checking the Level
Levelling the appliance prevents unnecessary
noise and vibration. Check whether the appliance is
perfectly level after installation.
• If the appliance rocks when pushing the top
plate of the appliance diagonally, adjust the feet
again.
Adjusting and Levelling the
Feet
When the appliance is not perfectly level, turn the
adjustable feet until the appliance no longer
wobbles.
• Turn the adjustable feet clockwise to raise or
turn the adjustable feet counterclockwise to
lower the appliance.
FP
• If the drain hose is too long, do not force the
drain hose further into the drain outlet. This will
cause abnormal noise.
• When installing the drain hose to a sink, secure it
tightly with the some string, cable tie, or chain.

• Do not insert pieces of wood etc. under the feet.
• Timber or suspended type flooring will
contribute to excessive vibration and unbalance.
Reinforcing or bracing the timber floor may
need to stop or reduce excessive noise and
vibration.

Adding Detergents,
Softeners and Bleaches
Detergent Dosage
• Detergent should be selected according to fabric
type, colour, soil level and washing temperature
and should be used according to the detergent
manufacturer’s instructions.
• Too much detergent results in excessive suds
which cause poor washing.
• When you use liquid detergent, follow the
guidelines provided by the detergent
manufacturer.
• You can pour liquid detergent directly into the
main detergent drawer if you are starting the
wash cycle immediately. It is also recommended
that it be added into the drum when loading the
clothes.
• Do not use liquid detergent if you are using delay
or pre-wash function as the liqluid may harden.
• Reduce the amount of detergent if too many
suds are formed.
• Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for
water temperature, water hardness, size and soil
level of the laundry. For best results, avoid
oversudsing.
• Refer to the label of the clothes, before choosing
the detergent and water temperature.
• Use only suitable detergents for the respective
type of clothing:
- General powdered detergents for all types of
fabric
- Powdered detergents for delicate fabric
- Liquid detergents for all types of fabric or
designated detergents only for wool
• For better washing performance and whitening,
use detergent that contains general powdered
bleach.
• Detergent is dispensed from the dispenser at the
beginning of the cycle.
• Dilute liquid detergent with water, pour into the
drum and start the cycle.
• Using liquid detergent without diluting, or
leaving laundry for a long time after pouring
diluted liquid detergent into the drum might
cause the clothes to be damaged, bleached,
discoloured.
• Do not let the detergent harden. Doing so may
lead to blockages, poor rinse performance or
odour.
• Full load: According to manufacturer’s
recommendation.
• Part load: 3/4 of the normal amount
• Minimum load: 1/2 of full load
Adding Detergents
• Add the measured amount of detergent into the
detergent compartment
• Use more detergent if you have hard water,
large items, greasy or oily soils or lower water
temperature.
• Soap flakes or granulated soap powders should
not be used in the appliance. When washing
woollens, remember to use detergent suitable
for washing woollens.
• Use the appropriate amount of detergent. Too
much detergent, bleach or softener may cause
an overflow or a malfunction.

damaged if they are allowed to float. It is
recommended to purchase a separate laundry
net to wash.
• Separate bed clothes from general clothes. It
might cause laundry to be unbalanced, which
results in abnormal washing.
• Spin dry might take longer to redistribute the
laundry evenly if bedclothes are lumped to a
side.
• Never wash an electric blanket, carpets, rugs,
pet accessories, soft toys or shoes. It can cause
damage to the appliance and other items in the
wash.
• Put bedclothes into a laundry net and then soak
and sink them in water so that they are less likely
to float. If the items float during the wash or
spin, it may damage the appliance and the
clothes.
• Regardless of size, we recommend washing
bedclothes individually. If two bedclothes with
different materials are washed at the same time,
it might cause a spin malfunction due to
imbalance.

Cleaning after Every Wash
What to Clean
• If you always use cold water, we recommend
that a warm or hot wash be used at regular
intervals e.g. every 5th wash should be at least a
warm one.
• Turn off taps after use to prevent the chance of
flooding, otherwise an inlet hose may burst.
• Always unplug the power cord after use.
• After the cycle is finished, wipe the door and the
inside of the door to remove any moisture.
• Clean around the bleach dispenser with water to
flush any residual bleach from the dispenser
opening as bleach can be corrosive if left
undiluted.
• Leave the door open to dry the drum interior but
only if it is safe and any children are supervised.
