Choosing the Proper Location

Check the following requirements for the install location before installing the washer.

• Allow for sufficient space between the walls and the washer for installation.
• Make sure that the floor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oil so the leveling feet cannot slide easily. Leveling feet that can move or slide on the floor can contribute to excess vibration and noise.
• If the floor has too much flex, reinforce it to make it more rigid. If the floor is not solid, it may cause severe vibration and noise.

Power Outlet

The power outlet must be within 60 inches (1.5 m) of either side of the washer.

• Position the washer so that the outlet and plug are easily accessible.
• Do not overload the outlet with more than one appliance.
• The outlet must be grounded in accordance with current electrical wiring codes and regulations.
• Use a time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.
• It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the washer owner to have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Flooring

• To minimize noise and vibration, install the washer on a level, solidly constructed floor capable of supporting the washer without flexing or bouncing.
• The washer must be installed on firm flooring to minimize vibration during the spin cycle. Concrete flooring is best, but a wood floor is sufficient, provided it is built to FHA standards.
• The floor under the washer must not slope more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) from front to back or side to side.
• Installing on carpeting and soft tile surfaces is not recommended.
• Never install the washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.

Floor Installation
To ensure sufficient clearance for water inlet hoses, drain hose and airflow, allow minimum clearances of at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) at the sides and 4 inches (10 cm) behind the washer. Be sure to allow for wall, door, or floor moldings that may increase the required clearances.
Minimum vertical space from floor to overhead shelves, cabinets, ceilings, etc., is 58 inches (147 cm).

Unpacking and Removing Shipping Material

Remove all shipping materials from the washer for proper operation and inspect it for shipping damage.

• 
  Failure to remove shipping materials can cause excessive noise and vibration.

Unpacking Shipping Material

1. Lift the washer off of the foam base.
   
   • After removing the carton and shipping material, lift the washer off the foam base.
   • Make sure the plastic tub support comes off with the base and is not stuck to the bottom of the washer.
   • If you must lay the washer down to remove the carton base , always protect the side of the washer and lay it carefully on its side. Do not lay the washer on its front or back.
2. Remove the foam tub insert.
   • To prevent damage, do not remove the foam insert from the tub until the washer is in the final location.
     

NOTE

• Once removed, save the foam insert for future use. If the washer needs to be moved, the foam insert will help prevent damage during transportation.

3. Unfasten the power cord.
   • Unfasten the power cord from the back of the washer.
     

Connecting the Water Inlet Hoses

To avoid the risk of costly water damage, purchase and install new inlet hoses when installing the washer.

• 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 washer. Old hoses could leak or burst causing flooding and property damage. Contact an LG Customer Information Center for assistance in buying hoses.

NOTE

• Periodically check the hoses for cracks, leaks, and wear, and replace the hoses every five years.
• Do not stretch the water hoses intentionally, and make sure that they are not pinched, crushed or kinked by other objects.
• Water supply pressure must be between 20 psi and 120 psi (138 - 827 kPa). If the water supply pressure is more than 120 psi, a pressure reducing valve must be installed.
• Your hot water heater should be set to deliver water at 120 - 135°F (48 - 57°C) to allow the washer to properly control wash temperatures.
• 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.

How to Connect the Water Inlet Hoses

1. Check the fittings and seals.
   • Inspect the threaded fitting on each hose and make sure there is a rubber seal in place in both ends of each hose to prevent leaking.
     
2. Connect the water supply hoses.
   • Connect the water inlet hoses to the hot and cold water faucets tightly by hand and then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers.
   • Connect the blue hose to the cold water faucet and the red hose to the hot water faucet.
     
3. After the hoses are connected, turn on the water faucets and flush out any foreign substances such as dirt, sand, or sawdust.
   • Let the water drain into a bucket, and check the water temperature to make sure you've connected the hoses to the correct faucets.
     
4. Attach the inlet hoses to the back of the washer.
   • Attach the hot water inlet hose to the hot water inlet on the back of the washer. Attach the cold water inlet hose to the cold water inlet on the back of the washer.
     
   • Tighten the fittings securely. Turn on both faucets all the way and check for leaks at both ends of the hoses.

Connecting the Drain Hose

• 
  The drain hose should always be properly secured. Failure to properly secure the drain hose can result in flooding and property damage.

NOTE

• The drain must be installed in accordance with any applicable local codes and regulations.
• Make sure that the drain hose is not stretched, pinched, crushed, or kinked.
• The end of the drain hose should be located a minimum of 29.5 inches (75 cm) and a maximum of 96 inches (244 cm) above the bottom of the washer.
• For best results, locate the end of the drain hose no higher than 66 inches (168 cm) above the bottom of the washer. As the drain outlet is raised beyond 66 inches (168 cm), the drain function will be increasingly affected.
• Never create an airtight seal between the hose and the drain with tape or other means. If no air gap is present, water can be siphoned out of the tub resulting in poor wash/rinse performance or clothing damage.

Using a Standpipe to Drain

1. Insert the end of the drain hose into the standpipe.
2. Use the provided tie strap to secure the drain hose in place.
3. If the water valves and drain are built into the wall, fasten the drain hose to one of the water hoses with the provided tie strap (ribbed side on inside).

• 
  Do not insert the end of the drain hose into the standpipe more than 8 inches (20 cm). Doing so can cause siphoning, odors, or improper draining.

NOTE

• If the drain is large enough for the flange on the hose to fit inside, then do not insert the flange more than 1 - 2 inches into the drain.
  

Using a Laundry Tub to Drain

1. Hang the end of the drain hose over the side of the laundry tub.
2. Use the provided tie strap to secure the drain hose in place.
   

Leveling the Device

The tub of the washer spins at very high speeds. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must be a solid, level surface.

• Using the washer without leveling it may cause excess vibration and noise, leading to a washer malfunction.
• Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary to level the washer. Extending the leveling feet more than necessary can cause the washer to vibrate.

NOTE

• Before installing the washer, make sure that the floor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oil so the washer feet cannot slide easily. Feet that move or slide on the floor can contribute to excessive vibration and noise.

How to Level the Washer

1. Position the washer in its final location.
   • Take special care not to pinch, strain, or crush the water and drain hoses. If you have a carpenter's level , you can use it to check that the washer is level. The slope beneath the washer should not exceed 1 inch, and all 4 leveling feet must rest firmly on the floor.
     
2. Open the lid and look from above to see if the tub is centered.
   • If the tub is not centered, readjust the front feet. If you have a level, check the washer with the level.
     

NOTE

• To check if the washer is level from side to side, place a level on the back edge of the lid.
• To check if the washer is level from front to back, place a level on the edge where the cabinet side meets the top cover. Do not place the level on the top of the lid. Using these surfaces will result in the washer being unlevel.
  

3. Adjust the leveling feet.
   • Turn all 4 leveling feet in one direction to raise the washer or the other direction to lower it.
     
4. Recheck the washer's levelness.
   • Push or rock the top edges of the washer gently to make sure the washer does not rock. If the washer rocks, readjust the leveling feet.
   • If the lid does not stay open properly, extend the front leveling legs until the washer is level from front to back.

Final Installation Check

Connecting to the Power Supply

Plug the washer into a 120 VAC, 60 Hz grounded 3prong outlet.

• 
  Do not use a worn or damaged power cord or power plug. Replace or repair it immediately. Failure to do so may result in death, fire, electric shock, or malfunction.
• 
  Do not modify the power cord and plug provided with the appliance. Do not damage it when installing or moving the appliance. Doing so may result in death, fire, electric shock, or malfunction.
• Make sure that the appliance is grounded.
• 
  Connect this appliance to a grounded outlet conforming to the rating prior to use. Failure to do so may result in fire, electric shock, or malfunction.
• 
  Do not damage or cut off the ground prong of the power cord. Doing so may cause death, fire, electric shock, or product malfunction.
• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service technician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. If it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• The appliance and outlet must be positioned so that the plug is easily accessible.
• 
  Do not use adapter or extension cords. Doing so may result in serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
• 
  For best performance, plug the appliance into its own individual outlet. This helps prevent overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
• 
  If necessary, use a new, UL-listed 3-prong (grounding) plug rated at no less than the branch circuit. Do not use an extension cord longer than 3 feet. Failure to follow these warnings may result in serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.

Sorting Laundry

Grouping Similar Items

For the best washing results, and to reduce the possibility of damage to clothing, sort clothing into loads made up of similar items.
Mixing different fabric types and/or soil levels can result in poor wash performance, color transfer, discoloration, fabric damage or linting. Fabrics should be sorted into groups as described below.

Colors
Sort articles by color. Wash dark clothes separately from light colors or whites. Mixing dark clothes with light clothes can result in dye transfer or discoloration of the lighter clothes.

Soil Level
Wash heavily soiled clothing together. Washing lightly soiled clothing in the same load with heavily soiled clothing could result in poor wash performance for the lightly soiled clothing.

Fabric Type
Delicate articles should not be mixed with heavy or sturdy fabric types. Washing heavy fabrics with delicates can result in poor wash performance for the heavy fabrics and possible damage to the delicates.

Lint Type
Some fabrics attract and bind lint to them while others give off lint in the laundry process. Avoid mixing these lint collectors and lint producers in the same load. Mixing these fabrics will result in pilling and linting on the lint collectors. (For example, lint collector - knit sweater; lint producer - terry cloth towels.

How to Sort Laundry

By Colors	By Soil	By Fabric	By Lint
Whites	Heavy	Delicates	Lint Producer
Lights	Normal	Easy Care	Lint Collector
Darks	Light	Sturdy

• The washer can be fully loaded, but the tub should not be tightly packed with items. The lid of the washer should close easily.
• Use the Bedding cycle for buoyant or nonabsorbent items such as pillows or comforters. Failure to follow this caution can result in leakage.
• Clothing or articles that are waterproof or water resistant must be washed in the Waterproof cycle only. (Examples include water resistant clothing, mattress covers, outdoor clothes, and plastic mats.) Using another cycle may result in personal injury or damage to the washer, clothes, walls, floor, and surrounding objects due to abnormal vibration.

Loading the Unit

General Tips

• Check and empty pockets. Paper clips, coins, matches, and other items can damage clothing and the washer.
• Close zippers and hooks, and tie drawstrings to prevent snagging or tangling of clothes.
• Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results.
• Brush off heavy soil, dust, and hair from items before washing. Excess dirt or sand can abrade other fabrics and lead to poor wash performance.
• Combine large and small items in the tub. Load large items first. Large items should not be more than half of total load.
• For best results, load dry items only. If washing very wet items, wring out excess water before loading, or run a Spin Only cycle to extract excess water before adding detergent and starting the desired cycle.
• The washer can be fully loaded, but the tub should not be tightly packed with items. The lid of the washer must close easily.
  
• The washer will not fill or operate with the lid open.
• Do not overload the tub. Clothes should fit loosely in the tub under the maximum fill line . Loading clothes over the fill line may result in damage to clothing and the washer.
  
  • Do not press down on items while stacking them in the tub.
  • Load clothes loosely, and do not overfill the tub. Clothes need room to circulate in order to get clean.

Bulky Items

• Do not wash entire pillows or cushions. Remove pillow or cushion inserts and wash the covers only.
• Use the Bedding cycle for large or bulky items such as poly-filled jackets, comforters, pillows, etc. These items may not be as absorbent as other laundry items and should be sorted into a separate wash load for best performance.
• Bulky items should be placed as far down in the tub as possible for best performance. Always place buoyant items at the bottom of the tub. The washer will automatically detect the load size. Because of the high efficiency wash system, the water level may not completely cover the load

Small Items

• Do not wash a single small item. Add enough similar items to the load to prevent an out-ofbalance load.
• Wash small, light items in a mesh bag. Small items can get caught in the impeller at the bottom of the tub, and brassiere hooks can damage other items or the tub.

General Tips for Models with an Impeller

If the appliance uses a low profile rotating hub in the drum, follow these instructions when loading the washer.

• For best performance, load clothes as shown.
  
• Wash thick, bulky items individually. Heavy blankets, comforters, bedspreads, or pet beds can get tangled or cause an unbalanced load if combined with other items.

General Tips for Models with an Agitator

If the appliance uses a tall, vertical spindle in the drum, follow these instructions when loading the washer.

• For best performance, load clothes as shown.
  
• To reduce tangling, load items loosely in even piles surrounding the agitator.
  
• Do not load a single bulky item unless it fills the drum. Load several small bulky items around the agitator to balance the load.
  
• Do not load bulky items such as pet beds that are too large or stiff to move easily around the agitator. Impeding the motion of the drum or agitator could cause damage to the items or the washer.

Cleaning the Water Inlet Filters

If the washer does not fill properly, an error message will appear on the display. The inlet valve filter screens could be clogged by hard water scale, sediment in the water supply, or other debris.

• The inlet screens protect the delicate parts of the inlet valve from being damaged by particles that could enter the valves with the water supply. Operating the washer with these filters removed could cause a valve to open continuously, resulting in flooding and/or property damage.

• Do not use the washer without the inlet filters. Doing so it will cause leaks and malfunction.
• If you use the washer in an area with hard water, the inlet filter may clog due to lime buildup and require more frequent cleaning.

1. Turn off the washer, and unplug the power cord.
2. Turn off hot and cold water faucets.
3. Unscrew the hot and cold water hoses from the back of the washer.
4. Remove the filters from the water valves carefully.
   • Use pliers to pull out the filters from the water valves.
     
5. Remove foreign objects and soak the filters in white vinegar or a lime scale remover.
   • If using a lime scale remover, follow the manufacturer's instructions. Be careful not to damage the filters while cleaning them.
6. Rinse filters thoroughly and press them back into place.
7. Flush then reattach the water hoses.
   • Before reattaching the water inlet hoses, flush them by running several gallons of water through them into a bucket or drain, preferably with the faucets wide open for maximum flow.

NOTE

• An error message may blink on the display when the water pressure is low or an inlet filter is clogged with dirt. Clean the inlet filter.
