10 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CONNECTING THE WATER LINES

yy LG recommends the use of LG hoses. Any leaking, 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.

yy Water supply pressure must be between 14.5 psi and 116 psi (100~800 kPa). If the water supply pressure is more than 116 psi, a pressure reducing valve must be installed.

yy Periodically check the hose for cracks, leaks, and wear, and replace the hose if necessary.

yy Make sure that the water lines are not stretched, pinched, crushed, or kinked.

yy 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.

14 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

SORTING WASH LOADS

CAUTION

yy Do not load items higher than the top edge of the tub. Failure to follow this caution can result in leakage or damage to fabrics.

yy Use the BULKY cycle for buoyant or nonabsorbent items such as pillows or comforters. Failure to follow this caution can result in leakage. yy If possible, do not wash any water-resistant items. If you must, please select the BULKY

cycle.

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.)

SORT LAUNDRY…

By Colors	By Soil	By Fabric	By Lint

FABRIC CARE LABELS

Many articles 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.

Fabric Care Labels

LOADING THE WASHER

yy Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty. Items such as clips, matches, pens, coins, and keys can damage both your washer and your clothes.

yy Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent these items from snagging or tangling on other clothes.

yy Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results.

yy Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first.

yy Large items should not be more than half of the total wash load.

yy The washer can be fully loaded, but the tub should not be tightly packed with items. The lid of the washer should close easily.

yy To prevent an out-of-balance load, do not wash single items. Add one or two similar items to the load. Large, bulky items, such as a blanket, comforter, or bedspread, should be washed individually.

yy Do not wash or spin waterproof items, such as rain coats, sleeping bags, etc.

yy The washer will not fill or operate with the lid open.

NOTE: Use the BULKY 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 automatically detect the load size. Because of the high-efficiency wash system, the water level may not completely cover the load.

FABRIC SOFTENER COMPARTMENT

This compartment 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 buildup in clothing and the washer. Either powdered or liquid fabric softener may be used.

yy 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.

yy Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm water. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.

yyNever pour fabric softener directly onto the load or into the tub.

Liquid Bleach

Compartment

LIQUID BLEACH COMPARTMENT

The bleach dispenser is a separate compartment at the left front of the tub opening. This compartment holds liquid bleach, which is dispensed automatically at the proper time during the wash cycle. The dispenser is activated twice to ensure complete dispensing of the bleach. Any liquid remaining in the dispenser at the end of the cycle is water, not bleach.

yy Do not add powdered bleach to this compartment. The bleach compartment is designed to dispense liquid bleach only. Powdered or liquid color-safe bleach will not dispense properly.

yy Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding bleach. Never add more than one cup and do not exceed the maximum fill line since this can cause the bleach to be dispensed immediately, resulting in damage to fabrics. Using too much bleach can damage fabrics.

yy Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load or into the tub. Fabric damage can occur.

yy Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in the same cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.

DANGER

Do NOT mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids, such as vinegar or rust/scale remover. Mixing chemicals like these can produce a lethal gas, resulting in severe injury or death.

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.

	Normal Load Amount
Liquid	Powder
Detergent	Detergent

<![if ! IE]>

<![endif]>ENGLISH

16 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

For proper wash performance, always measure the detergent using the measurements 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-Effi- ciency 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.

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 of cap or scoop of HE detergent should be used.

NOTE:

•Extra care must be exercised when using 2X and 3X concentrated detergents because even a little bit extra can contribute to the problems mentioned above.

•Detergents designated as HE compatible may not provide optimal results.

USING THE SOFTENER AND DETERGENT DISPENSER

To add detergent, bleach, 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 HEAVY DUTY cycles, press the FABRIC SOFTENER button or select the EXTRA RINSE option.

NOTE: It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the bleach and softener compartments 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

The bleach dispenser automatically dilutes and dispenses liquid bleach at the proper time in the wash cycle.

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.

yy Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto clothes or into the tub.

yy Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach dispenser. yy Do not place laundry items on top of the bleach dispenser when loading and unloading the washer.

yy Always measure and pour bleach carefully. Avoid overfilling or splashing when adding bleach to the dispenser. The maximum capacity of the bleach dispenser is one cup of bleach per wash cycle. Overfilling could result in bleach being dispensed immediately, which can result in damage to the clothes in the washer.
