Choosing the Proper
Location
Install the washer on a solid oor that is strong and
rigid enough to support the weight of the washer,
even when fully loaded, without exing or bouncing. If the oor has too much ex, you may need to reinforce it to make it more rigid. If the oor is not
solid, it may cause severe vibration and noise.
NOTE
Before installing the washer, make sure the oor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oil so the washer feet cannot slide easily. Leveling feet
that can move or slide on the oor can contribute to
excess vibration and noise due to poor contact with
the oor.
Allow for sufcient space between the walls and the washer for installation.
Power Outlet
• The power outlet must be within 60 inches (1.5 m) of either side of the washer.
• The appliance and outlet must be positioned so that the plug is easily accessible.
• Do not overload the outlet with more than one appliance.
• The outlet must be grounded in accordance with current electrical wiring codes and regulations.
• Use a time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.
NOTE
The washer must be installed on rm ooring to minimize vibration during the spin cycle. Concrete
ooring is best, but a wood oor is sufcient,
provided it is built to FHA standards.

WARNING
• Do not overtighten the hoses or cross-thread the
hose ttings. Overtightening or cross-threading
can damage the valves or couplings, resulting in leaking and property damage.
• Do not reuse old hoses. Use only new hoses when installing the washer. Old hoses could leak
or burst causing ooding and property damage.
Contact an LG Customer Information Center for assistance in buying hoses.
ENGLISH
Flush out the inlet hoses.

After connecting the inlet hoses to the water
faucets, turn on the water faucets to ush out
foreign substances (dirt, sand or sawdust) in the water lines. Let water drain into a bucket, and check the water temperature to make sure you've connected the hoses to the correct faucets.
NOTE
• Periodically check the hoses for cracks, leaks, and
wear, and replace the hoses every ve years. Do
not stretch the water hoses intentionally, and make sure that they are not pinched, crushed or kinked by other objects.
• 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.
• To provide optimum washing performance, the hot water temperature should be set at 120 – 135 °F (48 – 57 °C) and the cold at 60 °F (15 °C).
• 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.
Do not use ood-preventing hoses with auto shutoff
devices. The devices can be tripped during ll and prevent the machine from lling properly.
12 INSTALLATION
(75 - 244 cm)
Connecting the Drain Hose
Connect the drain hose to either a standpipe or laundry tub.
NOTE
• The drain hose should always be properly secured. Failure to properly secure the drain hose can result
in ooding 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.

13INSTALLATION
Leveling the Washer
The tub of the washer spins at very high speeds. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement,
the oor 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
oor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and
oil so the washer feet cannot slide easily. Feet
that move or slide on the oor can contribute to
excessive vibration and noise due to poor contact
with the oor.
Position the washer in its nal location.
1
Take special care not to pinch, strain, or crush the water and drain lines. If you have a carpenter’s level, you can use it to check that the washer level. The slope beneath the washer should not exceed 1 inch, and all four leveling feet must rest
rmly on the oor.
Level
NOTE
• To check if the washer is level from side to side, place a level on the back edge of the lid (door).
• To check if the washer is level from 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 (door). Using these surfaces will result in the washer being unlevel.
