PRODUCT FEATURES

INVERTER DIRECT-DRIVE MOTOR

The inverter direct drive motor, which is directly attached to the drum, is capable of producing multiple distinct different motions for optimal washing performance with very little noise and vibration. The motor assembly also contains fewer moving parts, thus resulting in fewer repairs.

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 45).

TUB CLEAN

Cleaning of the tub on a regular 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, main laundry detergent, liquid bleach, and fabric softener into different compartments.

HIGH TEMPERATURE STEAM CYCLES

LG's unique, high-temperature steam cycles help 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.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

WARNING

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, injury to persons, or death.

Your safety and the safety of others are 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, WARNING or CAUTION. These words mean:

DANGER

You will be killed or seriously injured if you don’t immediately follow instructions.

WARNING

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.

CAUTION

You may be slightly injured or cause damage to the product if you do not 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

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons 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 lid 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.

• 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 lid 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. Wash hands after handling.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Checking and 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.

- Make sure to select solid and smooth ground.

Two or more people are needed for moving and

unpacking the washing machine.

Allow for sufficient space between the walls and

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.

Installing on a floor

221/4"

(57 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 frontloading 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 oil 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.
