LG LAUNDRY INSTALLATION GUIDE

You found the LG washer and dryer that fit your lifestyle—now make sure they fit your space.

These LG models are larger than typical front load washers and dryers, so use this guide to

ensure your purchase can be successfully delivered and installed.

WALK THE PATH

START at the point where the washer and dryer will be unloaded from the delivery truck and walk the path that the appliances will take from there to the laundry room.

Any gates or arbors on

1 2

the path to the door must be at least 30" wide.

Carefully measure the width, height and depth

of the opening where the washer and dryer will be installed. Be sure to include door, floor and wall moldings in your measurements.

For height, measure to the bottom of overhead cabinets, if you have them. For depth, be sure there’s enough room to fully open washer and dryer doors.

All doors must be at least 30" wide at their narrowest point. Be sure to account for knobs, latches, closers and screen doors.

All hallways must be at least 30" wide

at their narrowest point, including shelves or other wall-mounted items.

For corners or stairway landings,

you’ll need 43.4" to clear a 90° turn.

FIT THE SPACE

Your new LG washer and dryer pair requires a MINIMUM AREA of 60" W x 40.8" H x 37.3" D to allow for proper spacing and venting. (If you add pedestals, the minimum height is 54.7")

CLEAR THE WAY

Prepare for a smooth delivery by dealing with potential obstacles now. Here are some helpful hints to try:

• If a doorway is too narrow or the door cannot be opened fully, remove the door. If the hinges are fixed pin hinges, they will need to be unscrewed to remove the door.

• For narrow stairs with hand rails, removing the railing may help you meet the minimum 30" clearance.

• Double-check the depth. If the laundry room isn’t deep enough for the appliances plus the dryer duct, you may be able to use special venting components, such as a side vent kit, to reduce venting requirements. See associate for details.

Remember, if ANY part of the delivery path or final installation location is too small to fit this LG washer and dryer, and the obstructions can’t be moved, you’ll need to notify your retailer BEFORE your scheduled delivery date!

GET IT INSTALLED

To ensure your installation goes smoothly, here are some final items you’ll need to have in place:

FOR WASHER: FOR GAS DRYER:

110V grounded 3-prong electrical outlet within 6 feet

Water supply (hot and cold)

Drain must be no higher than 96 inches and within 5 feet of the washer

A clean, solid and level floor surface

FOR ELECTRIC DRYER:

New electrical cord (3- or 4-prong depending on your outlet, sold separately)

240V electrical outlet

UL approved rigid or semi-rigid dryer venting (never use foil or plastic)

New gas flex connection kit (sold separately) and natural gas line connection

LP conversion kit (if not using natural gas, sold separately)

110V grounded 3-prong electrical outlet within 4 feet

UL approved rigid or semi-rigid dryer venting (never use foil or plastic)

If your purchase includes installation, your LG washer and dryer will be unboxed, put in place, connected to the appropriate sources and leveled. Then they’ll be tested to make sure that everything works correctly. All packing material will be removed and your home restored to its original condition.

Note: Accessories, stacking kits and pedestals are sold separately.
