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.

• 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.

A
B
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
1
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
3
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
2
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
[ Place the pads under both front feet.

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.
14
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.

15
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.
16
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.

NOTES:
• The capacity of the machine for washing
clothes is twice as much as when drying
clothes. If the machine is to be used to dry a
load, then the wash load must be reduced by
half for effective drying performance. If a full
load is washed, remove half the clothes prior
to starting the dry cycle.
• The Wrinkle Care feature is set automatically
when the drying cycle is complete and cannot
be disabled.
• This feature will help prevent wrinkling of the
clothes if they are not removed promptly when
the dry cycle ends.
When the drying cycle is completed,
[COOL DOWN] is displayed on the Multi display.
The COOL DOWN is set automatically when a
drying cycle is complete.
When you are not able to remove a load of
clothes from the dryer as soon as it stops,
wrinkles can form.
The COOL DOWN function periodically tumbles,
rearranges and fluffs the load to avoid wrinkles
without heat for up to 4 hours.
The message will continue to display until
the clothes are removed or the Start/Pause
button is pressed.
Drying Guide–Automatic Dry
Electronic sensors measure the temperature of
