INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CONNECTING THE WATER LINES

y LG recommends the use of LG hoses. Any leak-

ing, property damage, or damage to the washing machine caused by an improper installation or by the use of non-LG hoses is not covered under the terms of the LG warranty and is the sole responsibility of the customer and/or an installer.

y 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.

y Periodically check the hose for cracks, leaks, and

wear, and replace the hose if necessary.

y Make sure that the water lines are not stretched,

pinched, crushed, or kinked.

y The washer should never be installed or stored in a

location subject to freezing temperatures. Damage to the water lines 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.

NOTE: Do not use flood-preventing hoses with auto shutoff devices. The devices can be tripped during fill and prevent the machine from filling properly.

1. Inspect the threaded fitting on each hose and make sure there is a rubber seal in place in both ends of each hose.

2. Connect the water supply hoses to the HOT and COLD water faucets tightly by hand and then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers.

Water Faucet

3. Always run a gallon or two of water through each inlet hose to flush dirt, scale and other debris out of the water lines. Doing so will help prevent future problems with clogged filter screens, and will also allow you to verify which water line is hot and which is cold.

4. Attach the hot water line to the hot water inlet on the back of the washer. Attach the cold water line to the cold water inlet on the back of the washer. Tighten the fittings securely. Turn ON both fau cets all the way and check for leaks at both ends of the hoses.

NOTE: Be careful not to cross-thread the hose fittings. This will damage the valve and could result in property damage from leaks.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CONNECTING THE DRAIN HOSE

y The drain hose should always be properly secured.

Failure to properly secure the drain hose can result in flooding and property damage.

y The drain must be installed in accordance with any

applicable local codes and regulations.

y Make sure that the drain hose is not stretched,

pinched, crushed, or kinked.

OPTION 1: STANDPIPE

Bend the outlet end of the drain hose to form a U shape. Insert the end of the drain hose into the drain. If the drain is large enough for the flange on the hose to fit inside, then do not inser t the flange more than 1-2 inches into the drain. Use the tie strap included with the installation materials in the foam block in the tub to secure the drain hose to the drain.

If the water valves and drain are built into the wall,

fasten the drain hose to one of the water hoses with the tie strap (ribbed side on inside).

If your drain is a standpipe, fasten the drain hose to the standpipe with the tie strap provided.

NOTE:

y Normal height of the end of the hose should be ap-

proximately 35”~47” (0.9~1.2 m) from the floor.

y Do not install the end of the drain hose lower than

29 in. (73.7 cm) or higher than 96 in. (243.8 cm) above the bottom of the washer or more than 60 in. (152.4 cm) away from the washer.

y 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 tub resulting in poor wash/rinse performance or clothing damage.

OPTION 2: LAUNDRY TUB

Bend the end of the drain hose to the desired shape and suppor t it on the edge of the laundry tub. Use the tie strap to secure the drain hose in place.

NOTE:

y Do not use this drain hose with a floor drain. The

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

LEVELING THE WASHER

The tub of your new washer spins at very high speeds. To minimize vibration, noise, and movement, the floor must be a 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.

• Before installing the washer, make sure that the floor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oil so the washer feet cannot slide easily. Leveling feet that move or slide on the floor can contribute to excessive vibration and noise due to poor contact with the floor.

All four leveling feet must rest solidly on the floor. Attempt to rock the washer from corner to corner to make sure that all four leveling feet are in firm contact with the floor.

1. Position the washer in its final location, taking spe-

cial care not to pinch, strain, or crush the water and drain lines. Place a level across the top of the washer.

2. Adjust the leveling feet. Turn clockwise to raise

the washer or counterclockwise to lower it.

3. To make sure that the washer is properly level,

open the lid and look from above to see if the tub is centered. If the tub is NOT centered (as shown in the drawing with the X through it), readjust the front feet. If you have a level, check your washer with the level.

y To check if the washer is level from side to side,

place a level on the back edge of the lid.

y To check if the washer is level front to back, place

a level at the side of the washer on the edge where

the cabinet side meets the top cover. Do not place the level on the top of the lid. Using these surfaces will result in the washer being unlevel.

Side to Sid e

Front to Bac k

yUsing the washing machine without leveling

it may result in malfunction caused by the production of excess vibration and noise.

yUse the leveling feet only when you level the

washing machine.

If you raise the leveling feet unnecessarily, it may cause abnormal vibration of the washing machine.

WARNING

NOTE:

• If the washer’s level is not even, the lid may be automatically closed when it is open. If such case occurs, raise the front leg to adjust the level of the washer to be even.

WARNING

SORTING WASH LOADS

GROUPING SIMILAR ITEMS

For the best washing results, and to reduce the possibility of damage to clothing, care should be taken to sort the clothing into loads that are 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 together in a separate load 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 heavier or sturdier fabric types. Washing heavier fabrics in a delicate load can result in poor wash performance for the heavier 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.)

y Do not load items higher than the top edge of the

tub. Failure to follow this caution can result in leak-

age or damage to fabrics.

y Use the Bedding cycle for buoyant or nonabsor-

bent items such as pillows or comforters. Failure

to follow this caution can result in leakage.

y If possible, do not wash any water-resistant items.

If you must, please select the Waterproof cycle. ( i.e. Water resistant clothing, mattress covers, outdoor clothes, plastic mats etc.)

y If waterproof material laundry is washed in a

course other than Waterproof, it may result in in jury or damage to the washer, clothes, walls, floor, and surrounding objects due to abnormal vibration.

CAUTION

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

FABRIC CARE LABELS

Many ar ticles of clothing include a fabric care label. Using the chart below, adjust the cycle and option selections to care for your clothing according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

y Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent

these items from snagging or tangling on other

clothes. y Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results. y Combine large and small items in a load. Load large

items first. y Large items should not be more than half of the total

wash load. y The washer can be fully loaded, but the tub should

not be tightly packed with items. The lid of the wash-

er should close easily. y To prevent an out- of-balance load, do not wash sin-

gle items. Add one or two similar items to the load.

Large, bulky items, such as a blanket, comforter, or

bedspread, should be washed individually. y Waterproof items do wash or spin Waterproof cycle.

(i.e. Water resistant clothing, mattress covers, out-

door clothes, plastic mats etc.) y The washer will not fill or operate with the lid open.

NOTE: Use the Bedding cycle for large or bulky items such as poly-filled jackets, comforters, pillows, etc. These items may not be as absorbent as other laundry items and should be sorted into a separate wash load for optimal results.

Bulky items should be placed as far down in the tub as possible for optimal results. Always place buoyant items at the bottom of the tub. The washer will auto- matically detect the load size. Because of the high - efficiency wash system, the water level may not com - pletely cover the load.

1. For best performance, load clothes as shown.

Do this

Not this

2. Load clothes loosely, and do not load clothes over the maximum guideline on the tub. Clothes need room to circulate in order to get clean.

MAIN WASH DETERGENT COMPARTMENT

This compartment holds laundr y detergent for the main wash cycle. The detergent is added to the load at the beginning of the cycle. Always use High- Efficiency (HE) detergent with your washing machine. Either powdered or liquid detergent may be used.

Never exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding detergent. Using too much detergent can result in detergent buildup in clothing and the washer.

When using liquid detergent, make sure the liquid detergent cup and insert are in place. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.

When using powdered detergent, remove the liquid detergent cup from the compartment. Powdered detergent will not dispense with the liquid detergent cup in place.

FABRIC SOFTENER COMPARTMENT

This compar tment holds liquid fabric softener, which is automatically dispensed during the final rinse cycle.

Never exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding softener. Using too much fabric softener can result in damage to clothing and the washer. Either powdered or liquid fabric softener.

y Always follow the manufacturer’s

recommendations when adding fabric softener. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too much fabric softener may stain clothes.

y Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm

water. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.

y Never pour fabric softener directly onto the load

or into the tub.

DETERGENT AND DISPENSER USE

A WORD ABOUT DETERGENTS

High- Efficiency (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 detergent that is not HE may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance which could result in error codes, cycle failure, and machine damage.

For proper wash performance, always measure the detergent using the measuring device provided by the detergent manufacturer.

The normal amount of HE detergent needed, for average loads, is less than ½ of the recommended maximum. Use less detergent for soft water, light soil or smaller loads. Never use more than the maximum amount recommended by the detergent manufacturer.

DESIGNED TO USE ONLY HIGH-EFFICIENCY (HE) DETERGENT

IMPORTANT: Your washing machine is designed for use with only High-Efficiency (HE) detergents. HE detergents are formulated specifically for High-Efficiency washers and contain suds-reducing agents. Always look for the HE symbol when purchasing detergent.

IMPORTANT: Not all detergents are the same. Pay careful attention to the amount of detergent used to avoid oversudsing, poor rinsing and detergent buildup in clothing, and residue buildup that can contribute to odors in the machine. NEVER use a cup or scoop other than the one supplied by the manufacturer of the detergent you are using. Never use more than the maximum amount of detergent recommended by the manufacturer. A full scoop or measure of detergent should only be used for very large and heavily soiled loads. Using too much detergent can result in detergent buildup in the washer and in your clothes.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Always measure the detergent amount. While HE detergents are designed for this type of washing machine, be careful when measuring the detergent. For most normal loads, no more than 1/4 to 1/2 a cap or scoop of HE detergent should be used.

NOTE:

y Extra care must be exercised when using 2 X and 3X

concentrated detergents because even a little bit extra can contribute to the problems mentioned above.

y Detergents designated as HE compatible may not

provide optimal results.

USING THE SOFTENER AND DETERGENT DISPENSER

To add detergent, and fabric softener to the automatic dispenser:

1. Open the dispenser drawer.

2. Load the laundry products into the appropriate compartments.

3. Close the drawer before starting the cycle.

4. If using fabric softener on NORMAL or HE AVY DUT Y cycles, press the FABRIC SOFTENER button or select the EX TR A RINSE option.

NOTE: It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the bleach dispenser and softener com partment at the end of the cycle.

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.

USING THE LIQUID BLEACH DISPENSER

Bleach

1. Check clothing care labels for special instructions.

2. Measure liquid bleach carefully, following instructions on the bottle. High-efficiency washers use less water, so less bleach is needed. One half cup is enough for most loads.

3. Carefully pour the pre-measured amount of bleach directly into the bleach dispenser. If you are using powdered bleach of any kind, pour it directly into the tub before adding the laundry. Never add powdered bleach to the liquid bleach dispenser.

y Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly

onto clothes or into the tub. y Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach dispenser. y Do not place laundry items on top of the bleach dis-

penser when loading and unloading the washer. y Always measure and pour bleach carefully. Avoid

overfilling or splashing when adding bleach to the

dispenser. The maximum capacity of the bleach dis-

penser is one cup of bleach per wash cycle. Overfill-

ing could result in bleach being dispensed immedi-

ately, which can result in damage to the clothes in the

washer.
