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.

y Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner's Manual.

y Before use, the washer must be properly installed as described in this manual.

y Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gaso-

line, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that

could ignite or explode.

y Do not add gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash

wate r. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

y 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.

y Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the

washer is used near children. A child might become trapped inside the washer and suffocate.

y Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the lid to prevent children from

climbing inside.

y Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather or freezing temperatures.

y Do not tamper with controls.

y Keep the area underneath and around your appliances free of combustible materials (lint, paper, rags,

etc.), gasoline, chemicals and other flammable vapors and liquids.

y Service must be performed by a qualified service technician. Do not disassemble the washer.

y See Installation Instructions for grounding requirements. y 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.

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

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions. You may be slightly injured or cause damage to the product if you do not follow

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

SORTING WASH LOADS

CAUTION

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 injury or damage to the washer, clothes, walls, floor, and surrounding objects due to abnormal vibration.

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.

FAB R I C T Y P E

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.)

LOADING THE WASHER

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 automatically detect the load size. Because of the highefficiency wash system, the water level may not completely cover the load.

1. For best performance, load clothes as shown.

Do 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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

ABOUT THE DISPENSERS

The automatic dispenser consists of two compartments which hold:

y Liquid fabric softener. y Liquid or powdered detergent for the main wash.

Main Wash

Powdered Detergent

Liquid Fabric

Softener

Compartment

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-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 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 damage to clothing and the washer. Either powdered or liquid fabric softener.

y 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. 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.

Main Wash

Compartment

Insert

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. Any liquid remaining in the dispenser at the end of the cycle is water, not bleach.

y 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.

y 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.

y Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach di-

rectly onto the load or into the tub. Fabric damage can occ ur.

y 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 ac ids, such as vinegar or rust/scale remover. Mix-

ing 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.

Maximum

Normal Load Amount

Liquid

Detergent

Powder

ENGLISH

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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

IM P O R TA N T: 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.

IM P O R TA N T: 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 a cap or scoop of HE detergent should be used.

NOTE:

y 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.

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 HEAVY DUTY cycles, select the EXTRA RINSE option.

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

IM P O R TA N T: 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

The bleach dispenser automatically dilutes and dis-

Bleach

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 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 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.
