Choosing the Proper
Location

Check the following requirements for the install
location before installing the washer.

• Allow for sufficient space between the walls and
the washer for installation.

• Make sure that the floor is clean, dry and free of
dust, dirt, water and oil so the leveling feet
cannot slide easily. Leveling feet that can move
or slide on the floor can contribute to excess
vibration and noise.

• If the floor has too much flex, reinforce it to
make it more rigid. If the floor is not solid, it may
cause severe vibration and noise.

• If a drain pan must be used, take extra care to
follow the instructions provided with the drain
pan and make sure the leveling feet are adjusted
for firm and even contact with the pan. Use of
drain pans and failure to properly level the
washer may result in increased vibration and
noise during operation.

• It is the personal responsibility and obligation of
the washer owner to have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

Flooring

• To minimize noise and vibration, install the
washer on a level, solidly constructed floor
capable of supporting the washer without
flexing or bouncing.

• The washer must be installed on firm flooring to
minimize vibration during the spin cycle.
Concrete flooring is best, but a wood floor is
sufficient, provided it is built to FHA standards.

• The floor under the washer must not slope more
than 1 inch (2.5 cm) from front to back or side to
side.

• Installing on carpeting and soft tile surfaces is
not recommended.

• Never install the washer on a platform or weakly
supported structure.

Floor Installation

To ensure sufficient clearance for water inlet
hoses, drain hose and airflow, allow minimum
clearances of at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) at the sides
and 4 inches (10 cm) behind the washer. Be sure
to allow for wall, door, or floor moldings that may
increase the required clearances.

Power Outlet

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

• Position the washer so that the outlet and plug
are 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.

12 INSTALLATION

NOTE

WARNING

can damage the valves or couplings, resulting in
leaking and property damage.

• Do not reuse old hoses. Use only new hoses
when installing the washer. Old hoses could leak
or burst causing flooding and property damage.
Contact an LG Customer Information Center for
assistance in buying hoses.

• Periodically check the hoses for cracks, leaks,
and wear, and replace the hoses every five 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.

• Your hot water heater should be set to deliver
water at 120–135 °F (48–57 °C) to allow the
washer to properly control wash temperatures.

• Do not store or install the washer in a location
subject to freezing temperatures. Damage to the
water inlet hoses 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.

• Do not use flood-preventing hoses with auto
shut off devices. The devices can be tripped
during fill and prevent the washer from filling
properly.

How to Connect the Water Inlet
Hoses

• Connect the blue hose to the cold water
faucet and the red hose to the hot water
faucet.

3 Flush out the inlet hoses.

• After the hoses are connected, turn on the
water faucets and flush out any foreign
substances such as dirt, sand, or sawdust.

• Let the water drain into a bucket, and check
the water temperature to make sure you’ve
connected the hoses to the correct faucets.

4 Attach the inlet hoses to the back of the

washer.

• Attach the hot water inlet hose to the hot
water inlet on the back of the washer.
Attach the cold water inlet hose to the cold
water inlet on the back of the washer.

• Tighten the fittings securely. Turn on both
faucets all the way and check for leaks at
both ends of the hoses.

1 Check the fittings and seals. Inspect the

threaded fitting on each hose and make sure
there is a rubber seal a in place in both ends
of each hose to prevent leaking.

2 Connect the water supply hoses.

• Connect the water inlet hoses to the hot
and cold water faucets tightly by hand and
then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers.

hose can result in flooding and property
damage.

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

• Make sure that the drain hose is not stretched,
pinched, crushed, or kinked.

• The end of the drain hose should be located a
minimum of 24" (61 cm) and a maximum of 96"
(244 cm) above the bottom of the washer.

• For best results, locate the end of the drain hose
no higher than 66" (168 cm) above the bottom
of the washer. As the drain outlet is raised
beyond 66" (168 cm), the drain function will be
increasingly affected.

• Never create an airtight seal between the hose
and the drain with tape or other means. If no air
gap is present, water can be siphoned out of the
drum resulting in poor wash/rinse performance
or clothing damage.

Using a Standpipe to Drain

1 Clip the end of the hose into the elbow

bracket.

• Connect the elbow bracket a within 4
inches (10 cm) of the end of the drain hose.

For the best washing results, and to reduce the possibility of damage to clothing, sort clothing into loads
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 separately 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 with
delicates 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.)

Loading the Washer

• Clothing or articles that are waterproof or water­resistant must be washed in the Waterproof,
Bedding, Bulky/Large, or Jumbo Wash cycle
only. (Examples include water resistant clothing,
mattress covers, outdoor clothes, and plastic
mats.) Failure to do so may result in personal
injury or damage to the washer, clothes, walls,
floor, and surrounding objects due to abnormal
vibration.

• Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results.

• Brush off heavy soil, dust, and hair from items
before washing. Excess dirt or sand can abrade
other fabrics and lead to poor wash
performance.

• For best performance, load clothes as shown.

General Tips

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

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

- Do not press down on items while stacking
them in the drum.

- Load clothes loosely, and do not overfill the
drum. Clothes need room to circulate in order
to get clean.

20 OPERATION

• Combine large and small items in the drum.
Load large items first. Large items should not be
more than half of the total load.

• The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum
should not be tightly packed with items. The
door of the washer must close easily.

• The washer will not fill or operate with the door
open.

Bulky Items

• Wash thick, bulky items individually. Heavy
blankets, comforters, bedspreads, or pet beds
can get tangled or cause an unbalanced load if
combined with other items.

Small Items

• Do not wash a single small item. Add enough
similar items to the load to prevent an out-of­balance load.

• Wash small, light items in a mesh bag. Small
items can get caught in the impeller at the
bottom of the drum, and brassiere hooks can
snag on other clothing or the drum.

• Never use more than the maximum amount of
detergent recommended by the manufacturer.
Using too much detergent can lead to
oversudsing, poor rinsing, detergent buildup in
clothing, and residue buildup that can contribute
to odors in the washer.

• Do not use more than one single-use detergent
pack in the 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. To add an extra rinse, select the Extra
Rinse option.

Adding Cleaning Products

About Detergent Use

This washer is designed for use with only HE (High­Efficiency) detergents.

• HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve
more efficiently 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 washer damage.

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

• For proper wash performance, always measure
detergent using the measuring device provided
by the detergent manufacturer. For an average
load, use less than half of the recommended
maximum. Use less detergent for soft water,
light soil, or smaller loads.

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

Single-Use Detergent Packs / Gel or
Tablet Detergents

Place liquid or powdered detergent packs, or gel
or tablet detergents in the drum before loading
laundry. Do not place these detergents in the
dispenser.

Using the Dispenser

To add cleaning products to the automatic
dispenser:

1 Open the dispenser drawer.

2 Load the laundry products into the

appropriate compartments.

• Follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations when adding cleaning
products.

a Main wash detergent compartment

CAUTION

b Liquid fabric softener compartment

c Pre-wash detergent compartment

3 Gently close the detergent dispenser drawer

before starting the cycle.

• Slamming the drawer closed may result in
the detergent overflowing into another
compartment or dispensing into the drum
earlier than programmed.

• Be careful not to get a hand caught in the
drawer while closing.

• It is normal for a small amount of water to
remain in the dispenser compartments at
the end of the cycle.

• Do not place or store laundry products, such as
detergent, bleach, or liquid fabric softener, on
top of your washer. These products can damage
the washer’s finish and controls.

Main Wash Detergent Compartment

This compartment holds laundry detergent for the
main wash cycle. Either powdered or liquid
detergent may be used in this compartment.

• The detergent is added to the load at the
beginning of the cycle. Always use HE (High­Efficiency) detergent with your washer.

• Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too
much detergent can result in detergent buildup
in clothing and the washer.

• Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be
added to the main wash compartment with
detergent of the same type. Do not mix liquids
and powders

• If the dispenser has a liquid detergent cup and
insert:

- Make sure they are in place when using liquid

detergent.

- Make sure to remove them when using

powdered detergent. Powdered detergent will

21OPERATION

not dispense with the liquid detergent cup and
insert in place.

• When using powdered detergent, remove the
insert and liquid detergent cup from the
dispenser. Powdered detergent will not dispense
with the liquid detergent cup and insert in place.

• If you use a detergent that does not dissolve
easily or a detergent with high viscosity, it will
leave a residue and clog the dispenser.

Fabric Softener Compartment

This compartment holds fabric softener, which is
automatically dispensed during the final rinse
cycle. Either powdered or liquid fabric softener
may be used.

• Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too
much fabric softener may stain clothes or cause
buildup on fabrics or in the washer.

• Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm
water.

• Never pour fabric softener directly onto the load
or into the drum.

Pre-wash Detergent Compartment

Add liquid or powdered detergent to this
compartment when using the Pre-wash option.
Always use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with
your washer.

• When using the Pre-wash option, liquid
detergent for the main wash needs to be loaded
in the liquid detergent cup accessory in the main
wash dispenser (where applicable), to prevent it
from being dispensed with the pre-wash
detergent.

• The amount of detergent added for the Pre-
wash option is 1/2 the amount recommended
for the main wash cycle. For example, if the main
wash cycle requires one measure of detergent,
add 1/2 measure for the Pre-wash option.

Cycle Modifiers

About Modifier Buttons

Each cycle has default settings that are selected
automatically. You can also customize these
settings using the cycle modifier buttons.

• Repeatedly press the button for the desired
modifier until the indicator light for the desired
setting is lit.

• The washer automatically adjusts the water level
for the type and size of wash load for best results
and maximum efficiency.

• This is a high-efficiency washer, and the water
levels may be much lower than you expect. This
is normal, and cleaning/rinsing performance will
not be compromised.

• The setting lights up when it is selected.

• To protect your garments, not every wash
temperature, spin speed, soil level, or option is
available with every cycle.

• A chime will sound twice and the LED will not
light if the desired setting is not allowed for the
selected cycle.

• Follow the fabric care labels on the garment for
best results.

Temp.

Make sure the wash temperature is suitable for
the type of load you are washing.

• Press the Temp. button repeatedly to select the
wash and rinse temperature combination for the
selected cycle.

• All rinses use unheated cold water.

• Cold rinses use less energy. The actual cold rinse
temperature depends on the temperature of the
cold water at the faucet.

• Your washer features a heating element to boost
the hot water temperature for Ex Hot settings.
This provides improved wash performance at
normal water heater settings.

Spin

Higher spin speeds extract more water from
clothes, reducing drying time and saving energy.

•Press the Spin button repeatedly until the
desired speed is selected.

• Some fabrics, such as delicates, require a slower
spin speed.

Dry Cycles

General Tips for Drying

Use the automatic cycles to dry most loads.
Electronic sensors measure the temperature of the
exhaust to increase or decrease drying
temperatures for faster reaction time and tighter
temperature control.

•Use the Wash+Dry cycle to automatically wash
and dry laundry.

• For better drying results, make sure all items are
similar in material and thickness.

• Do not overload the appliance by stuffing too
many articles into the drum. Items must be able
to tumble freely.

• If you open the door and remove the load before
the appliance has finished its cycle, remember to
press the Start/Pause button.

• After the end of dry,

Woolen Articles

Do not tumble dry woolen articles. Pull them to
their original shape and dry them flat.

Woven and Loopknit Materials

Some woven and loopknit materials may shrink, by
varying amounts, depending on their quality.

Always stretch these materials out immediately
after drying.

Permanent Press and Synthetics

Do not overload your appliance. Take out
permanent press articles as soon as the appliance
stops to reduce wrinkles.

Baby Clothes and Nightgowns

Always check the manufacturer’s instructions.

Blankets and Duvets

ENGLISH

• 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 smaller for effective drying
performance. If a full load is washed, remove
half the clothes prior to starting the dry cycle.

• All dry cycles begin with a brief spin cycle to
extract as much moisture as possible from the
load before drying.
