IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE wWARNING For your safety, the information in this manual must be

followed to minimize the risk of ﬁre, explosion, or 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.

This 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 follow instructions immediately. wWARNING: You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t 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 door 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 technician.

• 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 faucets and unplug the washer if

the machine is to be left for an extended period of time, such as during vacations.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

followed to minimize the risk of ﬁre, explosion, or electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

• 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 door closed when not in use.

• Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or agitator is

moving.

• WARNING: This product contains chemicals known

to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CONNECTING THE WATER LINES

NOTE:

• For your safety, and for extended product

life, use only authorized components. The manufacturer is not responsible for product malfunction or accidents caused by the use of separately purchased, unauthorized parts.

• Use new hoses when you install the washing

machine. Do not reuse old hoses. Use only the inlet hoses provided with the washer. LG does not recommend the use of aftermarket hoses.

• Periodically check the hoses for cracks, leaks

and wear, and replace the hoses every 5 years.

• Do not stretch the water hoses intentionally, and

make sure that they are not crushed by other objects.

• Water supply pressure must be between 14.5

psi and 116 psi (100~800 kPa). If the water supply pressure is more than 116 psi, a pressure reducing valve must be installed.

• To provide optimum washing performance the

hot water temperature should be set at 120135°F (48-57°C) and the cold at 60°F (15°C).

Hot water tap

LEVELING THE WASHER

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

The drum of your new washer spins at very high speeds, up to 1,400 RPM. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must be a perfectly level, solid surface.

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.

Leveling Feet

Position the washer in the final location, taking special care to not pinch, strain, or crush the water and drain lines. Place a level across the top of the washer.

Leveling Feet

• 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.

Tighten all 4

locknuts securely

Once the washer is level from side to side and

front to back, tighten all locknuts securely. Make sure that all 4 leveling feet are in firm

contact with the floor. NOTE: To make sure that the washer is

properly level, run the washer with a test load: place approximately 6 pounds of laundry in the machine. Then, press POWER, press RINSE+SPIN, and then press the START/ PAUSE button. (See the following sections for additional information on cycle selection and operation.)

Raise

Loosen the locknuts on all 4 leveling feet

until you can turn the feet with the included wrench. Turn clockwise to raise the washer or counterclockwise to lower it.

Lower

Verify that the washer does not rock or vibrate excessively during the spin cycle. If the washer vibrates or shakes, adjust the leveling feet until the washer is stable and retest.

INSTALLATION OF NON-SKID PADS (OPTIONAL)

Some floor surfaces are too slippery to prevent the washer from moving on the floor during heavily unbalanced loads. While it is normal for an occasional load to be out of balance, excess noise and vibration can result from the washer moving out of position. If these conditions are encountered, follow the instructions below for installation of the non-skid pads. These pads will help prevent the washer from moving during heavy out of balance conditions thereby reducing noise and vibration.

• Non-skid pads

SORTING WASH LOADS

Fabric Care Labels

Most articles of clothing feature fabric care labels that include instructions for proper care.

Fabric Care Labels

Loading the Washer

• 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.

• Combine large and small items in a load. Load

large items ﬁrst.

• Large items should not be more than half of the

total washload.

• The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum

should not be tightly packed with items. The door of the washer should close easily.

• To prevent an out-of-balance load, do not wash

single items. Add one or two similar items to the load. Large, bulky items, such as a blanket, comforter, or bedspread should be washed individually.

• Do not wash or spin waterproof clothes.

• When unloading the washer, check under the

door seal for small items.

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.

Sort Laundry...

by Colors by Soil by Fabric by Lint

Whites Heavy Delicates Lint Producer Lights Normal Easy Care Lint Collector Darks Light Sturdy

NOTE: The front loading washer rotates the wet laundry to wash it with less water. If you do not see the water during washing, it is not a problem because the laundry is sufﬁciently wet.

REMINDER: The load must have room to tumble to wash effectively. Just because an item can be forced into the drum does not mean it should be washed in the machine. It must be able to tumble.

SELECTING DETERGENT

HOW TO USE

IMPORTANT: Your washing machine is designed for use with only High-Efficiency (HE) detergents. HE detergents are formulated specifically for front-load washers and contain suds-reducing agents. Always look for the HE symbol when purchasing detergent.

HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing performance, and help to keep the interior of your washer clean.

Using a regular detergent may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance.

ABOUT THE DISPENSER

The automatic dispenser consists of three compartments which hold:

• Liquid fabric softener.

• Liquid or powdered detergent for prewash.

• Liquid or powdered detergent and color-safe

bleach for main wash.

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:

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

HOW TO USE

LOADING THE DISPENSER

Prewash Detergent Compartment

Add liquid or powdered detergent to this compartment when using the Prewash option. Always use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with your washing machine.

• The amount of detergent added for the Prewash

option is 1/2 the amount recommended for the main wash cycle. For example, if the main wash cycle requires TWO tablespoons (1 oz. or 30 ml) of detergent, add ONE tablespoon for the Prewash option.

NOTE: If you are using the Prewash option, powdered detergent must be used in the main wash compartment. Liquid detergent will drain into the washer drum as it is added.

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. Always use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with your washing machine.

Never exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding detergent. Using too much detergent can result in detergent buildup in clothing and the washer. Either powdered or liquid detergent may be used.

Fabric Softener Compartment

This compartment holds liquid fabric softener, which will be automatically dispensed during the final rinse cycle.

• Always follow the manufacturer’s

recommendations when adding fabric softener. Do not exceed the maximum ﬁll line. Using too much fabric softener may result in stained clothes.

• 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.

NOTE: Liquid detergent will drain into the washer drum as it is added.

NOTE: Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be added to the main wash compartment with detergent of the same type.
