PRODUCT FEATURES
INVERTER DIRECT-DRIVE MOTOR
The inverter motor, which is directly connected to the drum, produces little noise and vibration and offers great durability and a long lifespan.
SMART DIAGNOSIS™
Should you experience any technical difficulty with your washing machine, it has the capability of transmitting data by phone to the Customer Information Center. The call center agent records the data transmitted from your machine and uses it to analyze the issue, providing a fast and effective diagnosis (Refer to page 38).
TUB CLEAN
Regular cleaning of the tub on a monthly basis using Tub Clean can help keep the tub clean and fresh.
MAGNETIC DOOR PLUNGER
Safely and conveniently secure the door slightly ajar with the magnetic door plunger. This will promote air circulation and allow the interior of the machine to dry. To use this feature, after the load has been removed, do not close the door completely. When the magnetic door plunger comes into contact with the metal washer cabinet, it will secure the door slightly open allowing the interior of the washer to dry.
LARGE CAPACITY STAINLESS STEEL DRUM
The large capacity stainless steel drum offers extreme durability and is tilted to improve efficiency and allow easier access for large items.
CHILD LOCK
Use this option to disable the controls during a wash cycle. This option can prevent children from changing cycles or operating the machine.
DETERGENT DISPENSER DRAWER
The four-compartment dispenser drawer makes it easy to separate the pre-wash detergent, the main laundry detergent, liquid bleach, and fabric softener into different compartments.
HIGH TEMPERATURE STEAM CYCLES
During LG's unique high-temperature steam cycles, the hot steam helps to remove tough stains.
TAG ON
The Tag On feature works on most NFC equipped smart phones by communicating with your Tag On equipped LG appliance. Using the LG Smart Laundry application, the Tag On feature allows you to diagnose your appliance, download new cycles, and see the status of your appliance by simply touching the smart phone to the Tag On logo of the appliance.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following.
UÊÊRefer to INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for detailed
grounding procedures. Installation instructions are
packed with the washer for installer’s reference. If the washer is moved to a new location, have it checked and reinstalled by a qualified service tech­nician. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
UÊÊDo 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, electric shock, or death.
UÊÊFor personal safety, this appliance must be properly
grounded. Failure to follow this warning can cause
serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
UÊÊThe 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 pos-
sibility of electric shock from this appliance.

INSTALLATION
Choosing the Proper Location
Install the washing machine on a solid floor that is strong and rigid enough to support the weight of the washing machine, even when fully loaded, without flexing or bouncing. If the floor has too much flex, you may need to reinforce it to make it more rigid. If the floor is not solid, it may cause severe vibration and noise.
Clean the floor before installation.
1
- Make sure to select solid and smooth ground.
Two or more people are needed for moving and
2
unpacking the washing machine.
Allow for sufficient space between the walls and
3
the washing machine for installation.
Space Requirements
You must allow sufficient space for water lines, the drain line, and airflow.
NOTE
yBe sure to allow for wall, door, or floor moldings
that may increase the required clearances.
Clearances
22 ¼"
(56.6 cm)
NOTE
yThe floor must be strong and rigid enough to
support the weight of the washer, when fully loaded, without flexing or bouncing. If your floor has too much flex, you may need to reinforce it to make it more rigid. A floor that is adequate for a top-loading washer may not be rigid enough for a front loading washer, due to the difference in the spin speed and direction. If the floor is not solid, your washer may vibrate and you may hear and feel the vibration throughout your house.
yBefore 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 slide on the floor can contribute to excess vibration and noise due to poor contact with the floor.
yIf a drip pan must be used, take extra care
to follow the instructions provided with the drip pan and make sure the leveling feet are adjusted for firm and even contact with the pan. Use of drip pans and failure to properly level the machine may result in increased vibration and noise during operation.

PREPARATION
Sorting Wash Loads
Read and observe the following to prevent shrinkage or damage to clothes.
X Check all pockets to make sure that they are
empty.
- Items such as clips, matches, pens, coins, and keys can damage both the washer and your clothes.
X Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent
these items from snagging or tangling on other clothes.
X Pretreat heavily stained areas before washing.
- Doing so will produce clean, stain-free results.
X Combine large and small items in a load. Load
large items first.
X Large items should not be more than half of the
total washload.
X The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum
should not be tightly packed with items.
-The door of the washer should close easily.
X Do not wash single items, except for bulky items
such as blankets. Make sure to wash laundry in similar types of loads.
- Washing a single small item may result in the tub becoming unbalanced, vibrating and making a noise.
X Do not wash waterproof clothes.
- This may cause abnormal vibration, or may cause the load to bounce, which could damage the tub.
X Check if there are any other foreign objects in the
door seal and take extra care that clothes do not get caught there.
- Foreign objects in the door seal may stain clothes, and water may leak if clothes get caught in the door seal.
X Wash underwear or small, light items in a laundry
net.
- Small, light items may get caught in the door seal, and a brassiere hook may damage other items or the tub.
X Brush heavy soil, dust, or hair off fabrics before
washing.
- Laundry may not wash clean if there is dirt or sand on the fabrics, or particles may rub against and damage sheer fabrics.
X Wash blankets individually.
- Washing more than one blanket together may produce unsatisfactory results due to tangling or an unbalanced load.
X Always separate fabrics according to their colors
and wash them separately to prevent colors from running.
- Fabrics may damage or become stained due to fabric dyes running, or due to foreign objects transferring from one fabric to another.
X For best performance, load clothes as shown.
- Load clothes loosely, and do not overfill the
drum. Clothes need room to circulate in order to get clean.
- Do not press down on items while stacking
them in the drum.

PREPARATION
Using Detergent/Fabric Softener
Recommended Detergent
Make sure to use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent for front-loading washing machines. HE detergents dissolve more efficiently and produce fewer suds to ensure efficient washing and rinsing. Use the correct amount of detergent as indicated on the label of the detergent packaging.
Designed specially to use only HE (High-Efficiency) detergent
NOTE
yOnly use HE detergents, because using a
regular detergent may produce excessive suds.
yHE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve
more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing performance, and help to keep the interior of
the washer clean. yUse less detergent for soft water. yWipe up any spills immediately, as liquids could
damage the finish and the control panel of the
washing machine. yUsing too much detergent can cause a build-
up in the tub resulting in unsatisfactory
performance and machine malfunction. yIf you use a detergent that does not dissolve
easily or a detergent with high viscosity, it will
leave a residue on the tub, which may not rinse
properly.
Loading the Dispenser
The detergent dispenser drawer of the washing machine has a dispenser compartment for each detergent type. Add each detergent to its appropriate compartment.
Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer.
1
Add the appropriate detergent to its appropriate
2
compartment.
- If you use a liquid detergent, check if the liquid detergent cup is in place.
- If you use a powdered detergent, remove the liquid detergent cup and put the powder in the main wash detergent compartment.
Liquid chlorine bleach compartment
Liquid fabric
Liquid detergent cup
softener compartment
Main wash detergent compartment
Close the detergent dispenser drawer slowly.
3
- Slamming the detergent dispenser drawer may result in the detergent overflowing into another compartment or pouring into the tub earlier than programmed.
Pre-wash detergent compartment
NOTE
yIt is normal for a small amount of water to
remain in the dispenser compartments at the end of the cycle.
PREPARATION
21
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 the washing machine.
NOTE
yIf liquid detergent is to be used for the main
wash when using the pre-wash option, the liquid detergent cup accessory must be used in main wash dispenser to prevent the main wash liquid detergent from being dispensed immediately.
yThe 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.
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 (High­Efficiency) 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.
NOTE
yLiquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be
added to the main wash compartment with detergent of the same type.
yWhen using liquid detergent, make sure the
liquid detergent cup is in place. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
yWhen using powdered detergent, remove the
liquid detergent cup from the compartment. Powdered detergent will not dispense with the liquid detergent cup in place.
Liquid Bleach Compartment
This compartment holds liquid chlorine bleach, which will be dispensed automatically at the proper time during the wash cycle.
NOTE
yDo not add powdered or liquid color-safe bleach
to this compartment.
yAlways follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations when adding bleach. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too much bleach can damage fabrics.
yNever pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach
directly onto the load or into the drum. Fabric damage can occur.
Fabric Softener Compartment
This compartment holds liquid fabric softener, which will be automatically dispensed during the final rinse cycle.
NOTE
yAlways 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.
yDilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm
water. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
yNever pour fabric softener directly onto the load
or into the drum.
