READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
wWARNING For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
Your safety and the safety of others is very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
wThis is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word DANGER or WARNING. These words mean:
wDANGER: You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t immediately follow instructions. wWARNING: You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.
wCAUTION: You may be slightly injured or cause damage to the product if you do not follow instructions. All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
wWARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following.
•Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this owner’s Manual.
•Before use, the washer must be properly installed as described in this manual.
•Do not wash 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 add gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
•Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using the washer, turn on all hot water faucets 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.
•Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near children.
•Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the lid to prevent children from climbing inside.
•Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather or freezing temperatures.
•Do not tamper with controls.
•Keep the area underneath and around your appliances free of combustible materials (lint, paper, rags, etc.), gasoline, chemicals and other flammable vapors and liquids.
•Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt any servicing other than as described in this manual. We strongly recommend that any service be performed by a qualified individual.
•See Installation Instructions for grounding requirements.
•ALWAYS follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the garment manufacturer.
•Do not place items exposed to cooking oil in your washer.
Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.
•Use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static only as recommended by the manufacturer.
•This washer is not designed for maritime use or for mobile installations such as in RVs, aircraft, etc.
•Turn off the water taps and unplug the washer if the machine is to be left for an extended period of time, such as during vacations.
•Do not use to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
•Packaging material can be dangerous for children. There is a risk of suffocation! Keep all packaging from children.
•Always check the inside of the washer for foreign objects before loading laundry. Keep the lid closed when not in use.
•Do not reach into the washer while parts are moving.
•A precaution indicates that the hands shall not be inserted into running water-extracting tub.
•A precaution indicates that the washing machine shall not be installed at a humid place.
•A precaution on the washing machine whose lid can be opened during water extraction, that if it takes 15 s or more for complete stop of water-extracting chamber tub such a case should be understood as a trouble. 3

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
wWARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following.
•Refer to INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for detailed grounding procedures. Installation instructions are packed in the washer for installer’s reference. If the washer is moved to a new location, have it checked and reinstalled by a qualified service person. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electrical shock, or death.
•Do not, under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electrical shock, or death.
•For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electrical shock,
or death.
•The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a
standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
•This washer must be plugged into a 220 V~, 50/60Hz grounded outlet. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electrical shock, or death.
•Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electrical shock,
or death.
•Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electrical shock, or death.
•Do not install on carpet. Install washer on a solid floor.
Failure to follow this warning can cause serious leak damage.
•Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter or extension cord. Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
Failure to follow these warnings can cause serious injury, fire, electrical shock, or death.
•The washer 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.
•Never unplug your washer by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electrical shock, or death.
•Repair or replace immediately 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. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electrical shock, or death.
•When installing or moving the washer, be careful not to pinch, crush, or damage the power cord. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electrical shock, or death.
•The washer must be installed and electrically grounded by a qualified service person in accordance with local codes to prevent shock hazard and assure stability during operation.
•The washer is heavy. Two or more people may be needed to install and move the appliance. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
•Store and install the washer where it will not be exposed to temperatures below freezing or exposed to outdoor weather conditions. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious leak damage.
•Do not install the washer in humid spaces to reduce the risk of electric shock. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electrical shock, or death.
•To reduce the risk of personal injury, adhere to all industry recommended safety procedures including the use of long sleeved gloves and safety glasses. Failure to follow all of the safety warnings in this manual could result in property damage, personal injury or death.

CONNECTING THE WATER LINES
•IMPORTANT: Use new hoses when installing the washer. Do NOT reuse old hoses.
•IMPORTANT: Use ONLY the inlet hoses provided by LG with this laundry product.
Aftermarket hoses are not guaranteed to fit or function correctly. Other hoses may not tighten correctly and could cause leaks. Subsequent damage to product or property will not be covered under the terms of LG's warranty.
•Water supply pressure must be between
100~800 kPa If the water supply pressure is more than 800 kPa, a pressure reducing valve must be installed.
•Periodically check the hose for cracks, leaks, and wear, and replace the hose every 5 years.
•Make sure that the water lines are not stretched, pinched, crushed, or kinked.
•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.

LEVELING THE WASHER
The washer spins at very high speeds. 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.
• All four leveling feet must rest solidly on the floor. Rock the washer gently from corner to corner to make sure that the washer does not rock.
NOTE: Before installing the washer, make sure the floor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oils so the washer feet can not slide easily. Leveling feet that can move or side on the floor can contribute to excess vibration and noise due to poor contact with the floor.

H O W TO U S E
SORTING WASH LOADS
wCAUTION:
• Do not load items over the tub.
Failure to follow this caution can result in leakage or fabrics damage.
• Use the BULKY/BEDDING cycle for buoyant or nonabsorbent items such as pillow or comforter.
Failure to follow this caution can result in leakage.
wCAUTION Do not wash or spin any item labeled or known to be Water-proof or water-resistant, even if the product care Label on the item permits machine washing.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in severe damage to your laundry, your washer and/or property damage as a result of abnormal vibration of the washer.
- Examples of water-proof or water-resistant items include certain mattress pads, mattress covers, Rain gear, camping gear, skiing apparel, outdoor gear and similar items.
Fabric Care Labels
Most articles of clothing feature fabric care labels that include instructions for proper care.
Fabric Care Labels
Grouping Similar Items
For best results, sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle.
Different fabrics have different care requirements.
Always wash dark colors separately from light colors and whites to prevent discoloration. If possible, do not wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled ones. The chart below shows recommended groupings.

Loading the Washer
Bulky items should be placed as far down in the wash basket as possible for optimal results. Always place buoyant items at the bottom of the wash basket.
The washer will automatically detect the load size.
Because of the high-efficiency wash system, the water level may not completely cover the load.
•Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty. Items such as clips, matches, pens, coins, and keys can damage both your washer and your clothes.
•Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent these items from snagging or tangling on other clothes.
•Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results.
•Large items should not be more than half of the total wash load.
•Do not wash fabrics containing flammable materials (waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.)
•The washer will not fill or operate with the lid open.
*IMPORTANT: Use the Bulky/Bedding cycle for large or bulky items such as poly-filled jackets, comforters, pillows, etc. These items may not be as absorbent as other laundry items and should be sorted into a separate wash load for optimal results.

ABOUT THE DISPENSER
The automatic dispenser consists of two compartments which hold:
•Liquid fabric softener.
•Powder detergent.
All laundry products can be added at once in their respective dispenser compartments. They will be dispensed at the appropriate time for the most effective cleaning.
After adding the laundry products to the dispenser, close the dispenser drawer.
To add detergent, and fabric softener to the automatic dispenser:
1 |
Open the dispenser drawer. |
2 |
Load the laundry products into the |
|
appropriate compartments. |
3 |
Close the drawer slowly and smoothly |
|
to avoid spilling, splashing or premature |
dispensing of the contents. NOTE: It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the dispenser compartments at the end of the cycle.
NOTE: Do not use bleach in the dispenser drawer.

H O W TO U S E
LOADING THE DISPENSER
Using the Liquid Bleach Dispenser
The bleach dispenser automatically dilutes and dispenses liquid chlorine bleach at the proper time in the wash cycle.
1 Check clothing care labels for special instructions.
2 Measure liquid bleach carefully, following instructions on the bottle.
• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto clothes or into the wash basket.
• Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach dispenser. Do not place load items on top of the bleach dispenser when loading and unloading the washer.
• Avoid overfilling or splashing when adding bleach to the dispenser. The maximum capacity of the bleach dispenser is one cup of bleach per wash cycle. Overfilling could result in premature dispensing of bleach.
3 Before starting the washer, pour a premeasured amount of bleach directly into bleach dispenser. If you prefer to use powdered bleach, add it into the wash basket directly before adding clothes.
NOTE: Please flush the bleach dispenser with water after bleach use and then rinse out the residue by use of Rinse & Spin cycle.
wWARNING:Do NOT mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids, such as vinegar or rust / scale remover.
Mixing chemicals like these can produce gas which may cause death.
Put the manufacturer’s recommended amount of undiluted liquid chlorine bleach into the bleach dispenser. During the final portion of the wash cycle, two sequential flushes of the dispenser put all the bleach into the wash load and completely flush
the dispenser to eliminate the carryover of bleach to a subsequent load. Any liquid remaining in the bleach dispenser at the end of the cycle is water, not bleach.
To prevent unintentional self-siphoning of the bleach, never fill the dispenser higher than the maximum fill level marked on the dispenser.
When adding bleach to the dispenser, be careful to avoid spilling it into the laundry load or leaving droplets of bleach around the dispenser. These
18 things will damage your laundry items.
Main Wash Detergent Compartment
This compartment holds laundry detergent for the main wash cycle, which is added to the load at the beginning of the cycle.
Never exceed the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations when adding detergent. Using too much detergent can result in detergent buildup in clothing and the washer.

• Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm water. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
• Never pour fabric softener directly onto the load or into the drum.
