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.

• If a drain pan must be used, take extra care to

follow the instructions provided with the drain

pan and make sure the leveling feet are adjusted

for firm and even contact with the pan. Use of

drain pans and failure to properly level the

washer may result in increased vibration and

noise during operation.

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.

severe vibration and noise, which can lead to

permanent damage to the washer.

NOTE

• The power cord is secured to the back of the

washer with a shipping bolt to help prevent

operation with shipping bolts in place.

Connecting the Water Inlet

Hoses

To avoid the risk of costly water damage, purchase

and install new water inlet hoses when installing

the washer.

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 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

shut off 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 a 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 Flush out the inlet hoses.

• After the hoses are connected, turn on the

water faucets and flush out any foreign

substances such as dirt, sand, or sawdust.

us_main.book.book Page 12 Thursday, June 9, 2022 1:51 PM

13INSTALLATION

ENGLISH

• 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

Connect the drain hose to either a standpipe or

laundry tub.

WARNING

• 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 24" (61 cm) and a maximum of 96"

(244 cm) above the bottom of the washer.

• For best results, locate the end of the drain hose

no higher than 66" (168 cm) above the bottom

of the washer. As the drain outlet is raised

beyond 66" (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

drum resulting in poor wash/rinse performance

or clothing damage.

Using a Standpipe to Drain

1 Clip the end of the hose into the elbow

bracket.

• Connect the elbow bracket a within 4

inches (10 cm) of the end of the drain hose.

If the drain hose is extended more than 4

inches (10 cm) beyond the end of the elbow

bracket, mold or microorganisms could

spread to the inside of the washer.

2 Insert the end of the drain hose into the

standpipe.

3 Use the provided tie strap b to secure the

drain hose in place.

hoses with the provided tie strap c (ribbed

side on inside).

Using the Laundry Tub to Drain

1 Clip the end of the hose into the elbow

bracket.

• Connect the elbow bracket a within 4

inches (10 cm) of the end of the drain hose.

If the drain hose is extended more than 4

inches (10 cm) beyond the end of the elbow

bracket, mold or microorganisms could

spread to the inside of the washer.

2 Hang the end of the drain hose over the side

of the laundry tub.

3 Use the provided tie strap to secure the drain

hose in place.

Leveling the Washer

The drum of the washer spins at very high speeds.

To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted

movement, the floor must be a solid, level surface.

CAUTION

• 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 a, 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.

OPERATION

Before Use

WARNING

• To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before

operating this appliance.

Operation Overview

1 Sort laundry and load the washer.

• Sort laundry by fabric type, soil level, color and load size as needed. Open the door and load items

into the washer.

• If using single-use detergent packs, or gel or tablet detergents, place them in the drum before

loading the laundry.

2 Add cleaning products.

• Fill the larger ezDispense reservoir with HE (High-Efficiency) liquid detergent. Fill the smaller

reservoir with liquid fabric softener, if desired.

• Use the front detergent compartment of the manual dispenser for liquid or powdered detergent, or

oxygen-based bleach. Place liquid chlorine bleach ONLY in the bleach compartment at the back of

the manual dispenser.

• Do not place liquid or powdered detergent packs, or gel or tablet detergents in the dispenser.

3 Turn on the washer.

• Press the Power button to turn on the washer.

4 Select a cycle.

• Turn the cycle selector knob until the desired cycle is selected and press the 8(OK) button.

• The preset wash temperature, spin speed, soil level and option settings for the selected cycle are

shown.

•The Normal cycle must be selected in order to change its default settings.

• Pressing the Start/Pause button without selecting a cycle immediately starts the Normal cycle with

the default settings.

5 Adjust settings.

• Default settings for the selected cycle can be changed, if desired, using the cycle modifier and

option buttons.

• Not all modifiers and options are available on all cycles. A different chime sounds and the LED does

not light up if the selection is not allowed.

6 Begin cycle.

• Press the Start/Pause button to begin the cycle. The door locks, and the washer agitates briefly

without water to measure the weight of the load.

•If the Start/Pause button is not pressed within a certain time, the washer shuts off and all settings

are lost.

18 OPERATION

7 End of cycle.

• When the cycle is finished, a melody sounds. Immediately remove the clothing from the washer to

reduce wrinkling.

• Check around the door seal when removing the load for small items that may be caught in the seal.

NOTE

• The washer rotates the laundry in a way that allows it to use less water while still fully saturating the

clothing. It is normal to be unable to see water during the wash cycle.

• If the temperature or the water level inside the machine is too high, the door will not unlock when the

Start/Pause button is pressed, and the Add Garments function will not be available (on applicable

models). To stop a cycle and drain the water completely, turn the power off, then on, and then select

Quick Wash.

Loading the Washer

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.

• For best performance, load clothes as shown.

- Do not press down on items while stacking

them in the drum.

- Load clothes loosely, and do not overfill the

drum. Clothes need room to circulate in order

to get clean.

• Combine large and small items in the drum.

Load large items first. Large items should not be

more than half of the total load.

• The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum

should not be tightly packed with items. The

door of the washer must close easily.

• The washer will not fill or operate with the door

open.

CAUTION

• Clothing or articles that are waterproof or water-

resistant must be washed in the Waterproof,

Bedding, Bulky/Large, or Jumbo Wash cycle

only. (Examples include water resistant clothing,

mattress covers, outdoor clothes, and plastic

mats.) Failure to do so may result in personal

injury or damage to the washer, clothes, walls,

floor, and surrounding objects due to abnormal

vibration.

Bulky Items

• 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.

Small Items

• Do not wash a single small item. Add enough

similar items to the load to prevent an out-of-

balance load.

• Wash small, light items in a mesh bag. Small

items can get caught in the impeller at the

bottom of the drum, and brassiere hooks can

snag on other clothing or the drum.

Adding Cleaning Products

Using the ezDispense Function

When the ezDispense function is turned on, the

liquid detergent and softener are dispensed in the

set amounts, at the appropriate time during the

cycle.

• A full detergent reservoir will last for about 18

standard cycles, with the drum filled about

halfway.

• The default settings are configured to dispense

1.5 oz (45 ml) of detergent and 1 oz (30 ml) of

softener for 11 lb (5 kg) of normally soiled

laundry. This can be changed using the Default

Det. Dispense or Default Soft. Dispense

setting. For more details, see “Additional

Settings” in the More Options and Settings

section.

1 Slowly slide the detergent dispenser drawer

out as far as it will go.

2 Turn the lids on the ezDispense reservoirs to

open them.

3 Pour the detergent and softener into their

respective reservoirs, up to the MAX line.

•The ezDispense drawer has two reservoirs.

Put the liquid detergent into the larger

reservoir and the fabric softener into the

smaller reservoir.

• Use only liquid HE detergents in the

ezDispense detergent reservoir.

• Do not put liquid or powdered bleach, or

powdered, gel or sheet type detergents into

the ezDispense reservoirs.

•Remove any residual detergent on the

outside of the ezDispense drawer before

inserting it.

• Do not try to fill the reservoirs too quickly.

Add detergent and softener slowly to avoid

overflows.

4 After filling the reservoirs, insert the lids and

turn them to the right until they are tightly

closed.

• Securely close the lids to the ezDispense

reservoirs to minimize airflow which can

harden cleaning products and prevent them

from dispensing properly. Be careful not to

lose the lids.

5 Close the dispenser drawer slowly before

starting the cycle.

• Slamming the drawer closed may result in

the detergent overflowing into another

compartment or dispensing into the drum

earlier than programmed.

• Be careful not to get a hand caught in the

drawer while closing.

• It is normal for a small amount of water to

remain in the manual dispenser

compartments at the end of the cycle.

20 OPERATION

CAUTION

• Slide the detergent dispenser drawer out or in

slowly and use both hands for safety. Failure to

do so can damage the washer or cause the

detergent or softener to leak out of the

ventilation holes.

• Detergent or fabric softener left in the

ezDispense reservoirs for an extended period

may harden and fail to dispense properly.

• Do not remove the dispenser drawer while the

product is in operation.

• Remove detergent/softener in the ezDispense

reservoirs before moving the washer.

Using the Manual Dispense Function

Add detergent and bleach to the manual

dispenser.

1 To turn off the automatic dispensers, press

the Options button.

2 Turn the knob to select Detergent Level or

Softener Level and press the 8(OK) button.

3 Turn the knob to select Off and press the

8(OK) button.

4 Open the detergent dispenser drawer.

5 Load the laundry products into the

appropriate manual dispenser

compartments.

• Use the main wash detergent compartment

at the front of the manual dispenser for

powdered or liquid detergent or oxygen-

based bleach. Do not use it for liquid

chlorine bleach.

• Do not place detergent sheets in the

manual dispenser.

• Place liquid chlorine bleach ONLY in the

compartment at the rear of the manual

dispenser.

• If using single-use detergent packs, place

the pack in the drum before loading the

laundry. Do not place liquid or powdered

detergent packs in the dispenser.

6 Close the detergent dispenser drawer slowly

before starting the cycle.

• Slamming the detergent dispenser drawer

may result in the detergent overflowing into

another compartment or pouring into the

tub earlier than programmed.

CAUTION

• Do not place or store laundry products, such as

detergent, bleach, or liquid fabric softener, on

top of your washer. These products can damage

the washer’s finish and controls.

NOTE

• The manual dispenser cannot be used for pre-

wash detergent dispensing.
