Connecting The Drain Hose - LG WT8400C Series Owner's Manual

12 INSTALLATION
NOTE
• If your water supply contains a lot of debris, a
whole home water filter may help to remove the
debris from the water before it reaches the
washer inlets.
• Do not store or install the washer in a location
subject to freezing temperatures. Damage to the
water inlet hoses 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 flood-preventing hoses with auto
shutoff devices. The devices can be tripped
during fill and prevent the washer from filling
properly.

the water temperature to make sure you've
connected the hoses to the correct faucets.
