Connecting the Water Inlet
Hose
To generate steam, the dryer must be connected
to the cold water tap using a new water supply
hose. Do not use old hoses.
WARNING
• Do not overtighten the hoses or cross-thread the
hose fittings. 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 appliance. Old hoses could
leak or burst causing flooding and property
damage. Contact an LG Customer Information
Center for assistance in buying hoses.
CAUTION
• Periodically check the hoses for cracks, leaks,
and wear, and replace the hoses every five years.
