10 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CONNECTING THE WATER LINES
, 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 responsi-
bility of the customer and/or an installer.
, Water supply pressure must be between 14.5 psi
and 116 psi (100N800 kPa). If the water supply pressure is more than 116 psi, a pressure reducing valve must
be installed.
, Periodically check the hose for cracks, leaks, and
wear, and replace the hose if necessary.
, Make sure that the water lines are not stretched,
pinched, crushed, or kinked.
, 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 resuk. If the washer was exposed to freezing tem- peratures prior to insta%tion, allow it to stand at room
temperature for several hours before use and check for
leaks prior to operation.
Rubber Seal Rubber Seal
2. Connect the water supply hoses to the HOT and
COLD water faucets tightly by hand and then tight- en another 2/3 turn with pliers.
zhWARNING --
Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling
[ can result.
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 hose is hot and which
is cold.
Water Hose
(towater inlet Water Hose I I on washer) (to tap)
1. Inspect the threaded fitting on each hose and make sure there is a rubber seal in place in both
ends.

_ztWARNING
Do not reuse old hoses. Only use new hoses when you install the washing machine. Old hoses could leak or burst causing flooding and
[ property damage.
ztWARNING _
Do not overtighten the hoses. Overtightening can damage the valves resulting in leaking and
property damage.
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 fit-
tings. This will damage the valve and could result in property damage from leaks.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 11
CONNECTING THE DRAIN HOSE
The drain hose should always be properly secured. Failure to properly secure the drain hose can result in flooding and property damage. The drain must be installed in accordance with any applicable local codes and regulations.
Make sure that the drain hose is not stretched, pinched, crushed, or kinked.
Drain Hose
OPTION I: 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 insert 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,
OPTION 2: LAUNDRY TUB

siphoned out of the tub resulting in poor wash/ rinse performance or clothing damage.
12 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
LEVELING THE WASHER
The tub of your new washer spins at very high speeds. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted 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 oils 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.
the cabinet side meets the top cover. Do not place the level on the top of the lid. Using these sur- faces will result in the washer being unlevel.

SORTING WASH LOADS
__CAUTION
* 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.
* Use the BULKY cycle for buoyant or nonabsor-
bent items such as pillows or comforters. Fail- ure to follow this caution can result in leakage.
* 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 pos- sibility 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, dis- coloration, 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. Mix- ing 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 heav- ily soiled clothing could result in poor wash perfor- mance 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 oth-
ers 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 collec- tor - knit sweater; lint producer - terry cloth towels.)

LOADING THE WASHER
* 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.
* Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent
these items from snagging or tangling on other clothes.
* Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results. * Combine large and small items in aload. Load large
items first.
* Large items should not be more than half of the
total wash load.
* The washer can be fully loaded, but the tub should
not be tightly packed with items. The lid of the washer should close easily.
* 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.
o Do not wash or spin waterproof items, such as rain
coats, sleeping bags, etc.
* 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 buoy-
ant 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.
ABOUT THE DISPENSERS
The automatic dispenser consists of two compart- ments which hold:
Liquid fabric softener.
Liquid or powdered detergent for main wash.
LiquidSoftenerFabric /" _ ._ _,
Compartment _'_" _sc_: _
Dispenser Drawer
MAIN WASH DETERGENT COMPARTMENT This compartment holds laundry detergent for the
main wash cycle. The detergent is added to the load at the beginning of the cycle. Always use High-Effi- ciency (HE) detergent with your washing machine.
Either powdered or liquid detergent may be used.
Never exceed the manufacturer's recommenda- tions when adding detergent. Using too much deter-
gent 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 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 soft-
ener can result in buildup in clothing and the washer.
Either powdered or liquid fabric softener may be used.
Always follow the manufacturer's recommenda- tions when adding fabric softener. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too much fabric soft- ener may stain clothes.
Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm water. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
Never pour fabric softener directly onto the load
or into the tub.

LIQUID BLEACH COMPARTMENT
The bleach dispenser is a separate compartment at the left front of the tub opening. This compart-
ment holds liquid bleach, which is dispensed auto-
matically 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.
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. Always follow the manufacturer's recommenda- tions 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. Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach di- rectly onto the load or into the tub. Fabric damage
can occur.
Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in the same cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.
_#\DANGER
Do NOT mix chloMne bleach with ammonia or ac- ids, such as vinegar or rust/scale remover, Mix-
ing chemicals like these can produce a lethal gas, resu t ng n severe n ury 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 yourwasher clean. Using detergent that is not H E may cause oversudsJng and unsatisfactory performance which could result in error codes, cycle failure, and
machine damage.
Maximum _r ._J
Normal LoadAmount
Liquid Powder
Detergent Detergent
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 1/2of 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.
HIGH-EFFICIENCY (HE)
DESIGNED TO USE ONLY 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 de- tergent 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:
e 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 but-
ton 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 prod-
ucts, such as detergent, bleach, or liquid fabric soft- ener, 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 dis- penses liquid bleach at the proper time in the wash cycle.
1.Check clothing care labels for special instructions.
2. Measure liquid bleach carefully, following instruc-
tions on the bottle. High-efficiency washers use
less water, so less bleach isneeded. 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 anykind, pour it directly into the tub before adding the laundry. Never add powdered bleach to the liquid bleach dispenser.
o Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly
onto clothes or into the tub.
o Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach dispenser. o Do not place laundry items on top of the bleach dis-
penser when loading andunloading the washer.
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.

22 HOW TO USE
MAIN CYCLE
Wash cycles are designed for the best wash performance for each type of load. Select the cycle
that best matches the load contents for maximum wash performance and fabric care. Turn the knob to
desired cycle. When you select a wash cycle, the light for the corresponding wash cycle will turn on. See page 19, OPERATING THE WASHER, for more details on operating methods.
NORMAL
Use this cycle to wash all normal items, except delicate fabrics such as wool or silk.
NOTE: Pressing the Start Pause button without selecting a cycle will cause the NORMAL cycle to
begin immediately using the default settings.
HEAVY DUTY This cycle is for washing heavily soiled laundry using
more powerful wash motions.
NOTE: Please Note that for maximum capacity loads (20 Ibs and greater), the soak option algorithm is tweaked and optimized in order to deliver the best performance. During the soaking process, there will be brief periods of no agitation upwards of 2 minutes in order to allow the detergent to fully dissolve and be rinsed from the load. This is intended by design
and Js no cause for concern.
BULKY This cycle is for washing blankets or bulky items.
NOTE: Using the BULKY Cycle with a low spin speed is recommended when washing water-proof or water-resistant items, to help protect the fabric's properties.
BRIGHT WHITES TM This cycle is for washing white items only.
OXl SANITIZE TM This wash cycle reduces 99.9% of bacteria on
laundry when used in conjunction with bleach without high energy consumption.
NOTE:
Follow the product manufacturer's instructions for using Oxi products with this cycle.
Never load powdered products into the liquid bleach dispenser. Doing so can result in the
product not being dispensed or being dispensed incorrectly. Powders can clog the bleach
dispenser, resulting in leaks or damage to the washer or your clothing.
Sanitization Performance of Residential and Commercial, Family Sized Clothes Washers
TUB CLEAN Use this cycle to clean the tub of your washing
machine.
PERM.PRESS This cycle is for washing items such as wrinkle-free
clothes or tablecloths to minimize wrinkles.
TOWELS Use this cycle for washing towels, shirts, jeans and mixed loads.
POWER CLEANSE Use this cycle for high rinse efficiency through the
increased use of water.
SPEED WASH Use the Speed Wash cycle to quickly wash lightly
soiled clothing and small load. For high wash and rinse efficiency, it is recommended to wash small loads of
2-3 lightly soiled garments. NOTE: Use a little detergent in this cycle. If you
want more rinsing, you can add extra rinse by using the Extra Rinse button.
WOOL This cycle is for washing shrinkable woolen or hand- washable items requiring delicate care. Only wash
