the appliance.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order
to avoid a hazard.
• Use a new hose or hose-set supplied with the appliance. Reusing old
hoses can cause a water leak and subsequent property damage.
• Ventilation openings must not be obstructed by a carpet.
• This appliance is intended to be used in household only and not in
applications such as:
- Staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working
environments;
- Farm houses;

12 kg.
Installation
• Never attempt to operate the appliance if it is damaged,
malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or has missing or broken
parts, including a damaged cord or plug.
• This appliance should only be transported by two or more people
holding the appliance securely.
• Do not install the appliance in a damp and dusty place. Do not install

outlet.
6
EN
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not plug the appliance into multiple outlet sockets, power boards,
or an extension power cable.
• Do not modify the power plug provided with the appliance. If it does
not fit the power outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
• This appliance must be earthed / grounded via the mains supply lead.
In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the
risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric
current.
• This appliance is equipped with a power cord having an equipmentearthing / grounding conductor (earthing pin) and a grounding
power plug. The power plug must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet socket that is installed and earthed / grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or
service personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
• Tighten and secure the drain hose at connecting ends to avoid
separation.
• For models with only one inlet water supply valve, do not connect to
hot water. Connect to cold water only.
Operation
• Do not use a sharp object such as a knife or scissors to tamper with,
or operate the unit.
• Do not attempt to separate any panels or disassemble the appliance.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance. All repairs and
servicing must be performed by qualified service personnel unless
specifically recommended in this Owner's Manual. Use only
authorized factory parts.
• Do not put animals, such as pets into the appliance.
• Keep the area underneath and around the appliance free of
combustible materials such as lint, paper, rags, chemicals, etc.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
7
EN
• Do not leave the appliance door open. Children may hang on the door
or crawl inside the appliance, causing damage or injury.
• Do not wash or dry articles that have been cleaned in, washed in,
soaked in, or spotted with combustible or explosive substances (such
as waxes, wax removers, oil, paint, gasoline, degreasers, drycleaning
solvents, kerosene, petrol, spot removers, turpentine, vegetable oil,
cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, etc.). Improper use can cause fire or
explosion.
• Never reach into the appliance while it is operating. Wait until the
drum has completely stopped.
• In case of a water leak from the appliance, disconnect the power plug
and contact the LG Electronics customer information centre.
• Turn off water taps to relieve pressure on hoses and valves and to
minimize leakage if a break or rupture should occur. Check the
condition of the fill hoses; they may need replacement after 5 years.
• Do not use or store flammable or combustible substances (ether,
benzene, alcohol, chemical, LPG, combustible spray, insecticide, air
freshener, cosmetics, etc.) near the appliance.
• If there is a gas leakage (isobutane, propane, natural gas, etc.) within
the home, do not touch the appliance or power plug and ventilate the
area immediately.
• If the drain hose or inlet hose is frozen during winter, use it only after
thawing.
• Keep all washing detergents, softener and bleach away from
children.
• Do not touch the power plug or the appliance controls with wet
hands.
• Do not bend the power cable excessively or place a heavy object on it.
• Do not put your hand, foot or anything under the appliance while the
appliance is in operation.
• Avoid touching any water that is drained from the appliance during
the wash.
• Make sure that drainage is working properly. If water is not drained
properly, your floor may get flooded.
8
EN
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• If, during spinning, opening the door does not stop the drum within
about 10 seconds, immediately discontinue operating the appliance
and contact your dealer or LG Electronics service centre.
• When the air temperature is high and the water temperature is low,
condensation may occur and thus wet the floor.
• Wipe off dirt or dust on the contacts of the power plug.
• Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced in a water
heater that has not been used for two weeks or more. Hydrogen gas
can be explosive under these circumstances. If the HOT water has not
been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage
or injury by turning on all Hot water taps and allowing them to run for
several minutes. Do this before using any electrical appliance which
is connected to the HOT water system. This simple procedure will
allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is
flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or appliance during
this process.
Maintenance
• Remove the power plug when you clean the appliance.
• Securely plug the power plug in the outlet socket after completely
removing any moisture and dust.
• Do not spray water inside or outside the appliance to clean it.
• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cable. Always
grip the power plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet
socket.
• Only qualified service personnel from LG Electronics service centre
should disassemble, repair, or modify the appliance. Contact an LG
Electronics customer information centre if you move and install the
appliance in a different location.
Disposal
• Before discarding an old appliance, unplug it. Cut off the cable
directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9
EN
• Dispose of all packaging materials (such as plastic bags and
styrofoam) away from children. The packaging materials can cause
suffocation.
• Remove the door before disposing of or discarding this appliance to
avoid the danger of children or small animals getting trapped inside.
