NOTE:
• For your safety, and for extended product
life, use only authorized components. The
manufacturer is not responsible for product
malfunction or accidents caused by the use of
separately purchased, unauthorized parts.
Use new hoses when you install the washing
machine. Do not reuse old hoses. Use only the
inlet hoses provided with the washer. LG does
not recommend the use of aftermarket hoses.
Periodically check the hoses for cracks, leaks
and wear, and replace the hoses every 5 years.
Do not stretch the water hoses intentionally, and
make sure that they are not crushed by other
objects.
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.
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).
