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.

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.

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.
