Preparing Water and
Electrical Connections
WARNING
• Water Connection
- Do not reuse an old hose. Use only a new hose
when installing the dishwasher. The old hose
could leak or burst causing flooding and
property damage. Contact an LG Customer
Information Center for assistance in buying a
new hose.
• Electrical Connection
- Use a time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.
- Operate this appliance with the correct voltage
as shown in this manual and on the rating
plate.
- The wiring must be grounded properly. If in
doubt, have it checked by a qualified
electrician.
- Connect the appliance using 3-wires, including
a ground wire.
- The appliance and outlet must be positioned
so that the plug is easily accessible.
- Do not use an extension cable or adapter with
this dishwasher.
- Do not overload the outlet with more than one
appliance.

of the product owner to have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
CAUTION
• When connecting the dishwasher water supply
line to the house water supply, sealing tape or
compound should be used on pipe threads to
avoid leaks. Tape or compound should not be
used on compression fittings.
• Connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply
with a temperature range between 120 °F (49 ℃)
and 149 °F (65 ℃). This temperature range
provides the best washing results and shortest
cycle time. To prevent damage to dishes, the
temperature should not exceed 149 °F (65 ℃).
• Water supply pressure must be between 20 psi
and 80 psi (140–550 kPa). If the water supply
pressure exceeds 80 psi, a pressure reducing
valve must be installed. Otherwise premature
failure of the inlet valve may occur.
Routing Water Supply Line and
Electrical Wiring
There are 2 channels in the bottom of the
dishwasher for routing the water and electrical
connections.
• As shown in the bottom view below, channel
is for the water supply line, and channel
