BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS z_WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic pre-

cautions, including the following.

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

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

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

water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

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.

* 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.

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

climbing inside.

* Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather or freezing temperatures. * Do not tamper with controls.

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

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

* Service must be performed by a qualified service technician. Do not disassemble the washer. * See Installation Instructions for grounding requirements.

* 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 may be slightly injured or cause damage to the product if you do not follow

10 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CONNECTING THE WATER LINES

o 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.

o Water supply pressure must be between 14.5 psi

and 80 psi (100N552 kPa). If the water supply pressure is more than 116 psi, a pressure reducing valve must

be installed.

o Periodically check the hose for cracks, leaks, and

wear, and replace the hose if necessary.

o Make sure that the water lines are not stretched,

pinched, crushed, or kinked.

o 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 tem- peratures 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.

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 water line is hot and which

is cold.

12 INSTALLAT ON NSTRUCTIONS

LEVELING THE WASHER

The tub of your new washer spins at very high speeds. To minimize vibration, noise, and move-

ment, 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.

Jll i

SORTING WASH LOADS _ztCAUTION -

• 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.

• Use the Bedding cycle for buoyant or nonabsor- bent items such as pillows or comforters. Failure to follow this caution can result in leakage.

• 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.)

• If waterproof material laundry is washed in a

course other than Waterproof, it may result in in-

iI jury or damage to the washer, clothes, walls, floor, i and surround!ng objects due to abnorma! v!bration:/

GROUPING SIMILAR ITEMS For the best washing results, and to reduce the possibil-

ity 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 deli-

cate 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.)

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 auto-

matically detect the load size. Because of the high- efficiency wash system, the water level may not com- pletely cover the load.

• 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 a load. 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 wash- er 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.

• Waterproof items do wash or spin Waterproof cycle. (i.e. Water resistant clothing, mattress covers, out- door clothes, plastic mats etc.)

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

ABOUT THE DISPENSERS

The automatic dispenser consists of two compart- ments which hold:

• Liquid fabric softener.

• Liquid or powdered detergent for the main wash.

Compartment

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 soften- er can result in damage to clothing and the washer.

Either powdered or liquid fabric softener.

• 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 compartment

holds liquid bleach, which is dispensed automati-

cally at the proper time during the wash cycle. 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.

_LLDANGER _ -

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, 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 wash-

ing and rinsing performance, and help to keep the interior of your washer clean. Using detergent that

is not HE may cause oversudsing and unsatisfac- tory performance which could result in error codes, cycle failure, and machine damage.

Maximum

Normal LoadAmount

Liquid Powder

Detergent Detergent

16 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 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 a 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 ex- tra 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, and fabric softener to the auto-

matic 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 dispenser and softener com-

partment 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 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.

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 and unloading 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.

CARE AND CLEANING

,-- ZLWARNING ...............................................................................................................................................................................................................

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read and follow this entire Owner's

Manual, including the Important Safety Instructions, before operating this washer.

• Unplug the washer before cleaning to avoid the risk of electric shock. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.

• Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents to clean the washer. They will damage the finish.

REGULAR CLEANING

CLEANING THE EXTERIOR Proper care of your washer can extend its life. The

outside of the machine can be cleaned with warm water and a mild, nonabrasive household detergent.

Immediately wipe off any spills with a soft, damp cloth.

IMPORTANT: Do not use solvents, cleaning alco- hols, or similar products. Never use steel wool or abrasive cleaners because they can damage the

surface.

CARE AND CLEANING OF THE INTERIOR Use a towel or soft cloth to wipe around the washer

lid opening and lid glass. Always remove items from the washer as soon as

the cycle is complete. Leaving damp items in the washer can cause wrinkling, color transfer, and odor. Run the Tub Clean cycle once a month, or more of- ten if needed, to remove detergent buildup and

other residue.

TUB CLEAN CYCLE Some environmental and usage conditions can

cause a residue to build up in the tub over time and can lead to a mildewy or musty smell. The Tub Clean cycle is specially designed to remove this buildup using bleach or other cleaners designed specifically for cleaning washing machines. Run the Tub Clean cycle once a month, or more often under heavy use conditions or if odor is present

1. Remove any clothing from the tub.

2. Fill the bleach dispenser to the MAX line with liquid chlorine bleach. Do not overfill the bleach dispenser. Overfilling will cause the bleach to dis- pense immediately.

NOTE: For other tub cleaning products, follow the cleaner manufacturer's instructions and recommen-

dations. For powdered cleaning products, add the cleaner to the main wash compartment of the dis- penser drawer after removing the liquid detergent dispenser insert.

3. Close the lid and press the POWER button to turn the washer ON. Turn the knob to select the Tub

Clean cycle then press the START/PAUSE button

to begin the cycle. Selecting any other cycle after Tub Clean has been selected will cause the Tub

Clean cycle to be cancelled.

4. After the cycle ends, open the lid and allow the tub interior to dry completely.

NOTE:

• Never load laundry while using TUB CLEAN. The

laundry may be damaged or contaminated with

cleaning products. Make sure to run the Tub

Clean cycle ONLY when the tub is empty.

• It is recommended to leave the lid open after fin-

ishing the laundry to keep the tub clean.

• It is recommended that Tub Clean should be re-

peated monthly.

REMOVING MINERAL BUILDUP If you live in an area with hard water, mineral scale

can form on internal components of the washer. Use of a water softener is recommended in areas

with hard water. Use a descaler, such as Washer Magic @, to remove

visible mineral buildup. After descaling, always run the Tub Clean cycle before washing clothing.

Mineral scale and other spots may be removed from the stainless steel tub using a stainless steel

cleaner. Do NOT use steel wool or abrasive clean- ers.

LEAVE THE LID OPEN

Jfthe washer wilJnotbe used for severaldays, leave the lidopen overnight to alJow the tub to dry.

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE WATER INLET FILTERS

If the washer does not fill properly, an error mes- sage will show on the display. The inlet valve filter screens could be plugged by hard water scale, sediment in the water supply, or other debris.

NOTE: The inlet screens protect the delicate parts of the inlet valve from being damaged by particles that could enter the valves with the water supply. Operating the washer with these filters removed could cause a valve to stick open resulting in flood- ing and/or property damage.

1.Turn OFF both water faucets completely. Un- screw the hot and cold water lines from the back

of the washer.

IMPORTANT: Aftermarket hoses are not guaran- teed to fit or function correctly. Other hoses may not tighten correctly and could cause leaks. Sub- sequent damage to product or property will not be covered under the terms of the product warranty.

2. Carefully remove the filters from the water valves

and soak them in white vinegar or a lime scale remover, following the manufacturer's instruc- tions. Be careful not to damage the filters while cleaning.

3. Rinse thoroughly before reinstalling. Press the fil-

ters back into place.

4. Before reattaching the hoses, flush the hoses and

water lines by running several gallons of water into a bucket or drain, preferably with the faucets wide open for maximum flow.

NOTE: IE message may blink on the display when the water pressure is weak or an inlet filter is clogged with dirt. Clean the inlet filter.

-z_WARNING ................................................

Unplug the power cord and turn off the faucets before cleaning. Failure to do so may cause

electric shock. Do not use the washing machine without the

inlet filters, If you use the washing machine without the inlet filters it will cause leaks and

product malfunction. If you use the washing machine in an area with hard water, the inlet filter may clog due to lime buildup.

STORING THE WASHER

If the washer will not be used for an extended period of time and is in an area that could be exposed to freezing temperatures, perform the following steps to pro- tect the washer from damage.

1. Turn OFF the water supply.

2. Disconnect the hoses from the water supply and

drain water from the hoses.

3. Plug the power cord into a properly grounded

electrical outlet.

4. Add 1 gallon of nontoxic recreational vehicle (RV)

antifreeze to the empty tub and close the lid. Nev- er use automotive antifreeze.

5. Press the POWER button, then select Spin Only. Press the START/PAUSE button to activate the drain pump. Allow the drain pump to run for one minute, then press the POWER button to shut off the washer. This will expel some of the antifreeze, leaving enough to protect the washer from dam-

age.

6. Unplug the power cord, dry the tub interior with a soft cloth, and close the lid.

7. Remove the inserts from the dispenser. Drain any water in the compartments and let them dry.

8. Store the washer in an upright position.

9. To remove the antifreeze from the washer after storage, run a complete Speed Wash cycle using

detergent. Do not add laundry to this cycle.

CLEANING THE WASHER

PROPER USE OF DETERGENT

Using too much detergent is a common cause of laundry problems. Today's detergents are formulat- ed to be effective without visible sudsing. Be sure to carefully read and follow manufacturer's recommen- dations for how much detergent to use in your wash. You can use less detergent if you have soft water, a smaller load, or a lightly soiled load.

NOTE: Use only low-sudsing, high-efficiency deter- gent. These detergents can be identified by the HE

logo.

r z£WARNiNG

Do not spray water inside the washing machine. Doing so may cause fire or electric

shock.

SMART DIAGNOSIS TM SYSTEM

Should you experience any problems with your washing machine, it has the capability of transmit- ting data via your telephone to the Smart Diagno- sis Team. This gives you the capability of speaking directly to our specially trained technicians. The technician records the data transmitted from your machine and uses it to analyze the issue, providing a fast and effective diagnosis.

USING THE SMART DIAGNOSIS TM SYSTEM

Follow the technician's instructions and perform the following steps when requested.

HOLD the mouthpiece of your phone over the power button, when instructed to do so by the call center, no more than one inch from (but not touching) the machine.

NOTE: Do not press any other buttons or turn the cycle selector knob.

If you experience problems with your washer, call 1-800-243-0000 (1-888-542-2623 in Canada). Only use the Smart Diagnosis System feature when instructed to do so by the Smart Diagnosis Team. The transmission sounds that you will hear are normal and sound similar to a melody.

Smart Diagnosis cannot be activated unless your washing machine can be turned on by pressing the POWER button. If your washing machine is unable to turn on, then troubleshooting must be done with- out using Smart Diagnosis.

PUSH and hold the Temp. button while continuing to hold your phone to the POWER button.

LISTEN for three beeps. After you hear the three beeps, release the Temp. button. Keep the phone in place until the tone transmission has finished. The display will count down the time. Once the countdown is over and the tones have stopped, resume your conversation with the technician, who wilt then be able to assist you in using the information transmitted for analysis.

Smart Diagnosis is a troubleshooting feature designed to assist, not replace, the traditional method of trou- bleshooting through service calls. The effectiveness of this feature depends upon various factors, including, but not limited to, the reception of the cellular phone being used for transmission, any external noise that may be present during the transmission, and the acoustics of the room where the machine is located. Ac- cordingly, LG does not guarantee that Smart Diagnosis would accurately troubleshoot any given issue.
