IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

ENGLISH

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or

explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT SSAAFFEETTYY IINNSSTTRRUUCCTTIIOONNSS

• Read all instructions before using the washer.

• Do not wash articles that have been previously

cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with

gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other

flammable or explosive substances, as they give

off vapors that could ignite or explode.

• Do not add gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or

other flammable or explosive substances to the

wash water. These substances give off vapors that

could ignite or explode.

• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be

produced in a hot water system that has not been

used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS

EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been

used for such a period, before using the washing

machine, turn on all hot water faucets and let the

water flow from each for several minutes. This will

release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas

is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame

during this time.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

 Installation clearances

The location must be large enough to fully open

the washer door.

 Washer dimensions

• Most installations require a minimum 4 in.

(10 cm) clearance behind the washer.

 Minimum installation spacing for

recessed area installation.

The following dimensions shown are for the minimum

spacing allowed.

Additional spacing should be considered for

installation and servicing.

• Additional clearances might be required for wall,

door and floor moldings.

• Additional spacing of 1 in. (2.5 cm) on all sides of

the washer is recommended to reduce noise

transfer.

Companion appliance spacing should also be

considered.

 Level floor

• Allowable slope under entire washer is 1°.

• To minimize noise and vibration, the washer

MUST be installed on a solidly constructed

floor.

• Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are not

recommended.

• Never install the washer on a platform or weakly

supported structure.

NOTE: A firm, solid floor is even more critical to a

front-loading washer than to a top-loader.

If your floor is wood and/or frame

construction, you may need to reinforce it.

Front-loaders use substantially faster spin

speeds than top-loaders, causing greater

vibration. If the floor is not solid, your washer

will vibrate. You will hear and feel the

vibration throughout your house.

 Power outlet

•

Must be within 60 in. (1.5 m) of either side of the

washer. Do not overload the outlet with more

than one appliance.

• Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.

NOTE: It is the personal responsibility and obligation

of the customer to have a proper outlet

installed by a qualified electrician.

Do not install your washing machine in a room where temperatures below freezing may occur.

Frozen hoses may burst under pressure. The reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired

at temperatures below the freezing point.

If the appliance is delivered in the winter months and temperatures are below freezing,

store the washing machine at room temperature for a few hours before putting it into operation.

CAUTION! Concerning the Power Cord

Most appliances recommend they be placed upon a dedicated circuit; that is, a single outlet circuit which powers only that

appliance and has no additional outlets or branch circuits. Check the specification page of this owner's manual to be

certain.

Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords,

or damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these conditions could result in electric shock or fire.

Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it,

discontinue use of the appliance, and have the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized servicer.

Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or

walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits the appliance.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

 Installation of drain hose

• The drain hose should not be placed higher than

96 in. from the bottom of the washer.

• Properly securing the drain hose will protect the

floor from damage due to water leakage.

• Place the end of the drain hose in the hole of the

floor drain system.

• When installing the drain hose at a sink, secure it

so it cannot break away and cause flooding and

damage.

• Properly securing the drain hose will protect the

floor from damage due to water leakage.

This equipment is not designed for maritime use or for mobile installations such as in RV’s, aircraft, etc.

Turn off the faucet if the machine is to be left for an extended period of time (e.g. holiday).

Packaging material (e.g. Films, Styrofoam) can be dangerous for children. There is a risk of suffocation! Keep all

packaging from children.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

ENGLISH

 Level adjustment

• Leveling the washing machine properly prevents

excessive noise and vibration.

Install the appliance on a solid and level floor surface,

preferably in a corner of the room.

• If the floor is uneven, adjust the adjustable feet as

required. (Do not insert pieces of wood, etc. under the

feet.)

NOTE: Extend the feet no more than necessary to level

the washer. The more the feet are extended, the

more the washer will vibrate.

• Make sure that all four feet are stable and resting on

the floor and then check that the appliance is perfectly

level (Use a level).

• After the washer is level, tighten the lock nuts up

against of the base of the washer. All lock nuts must

be tightened.

• It is critical to adjust the feet perfectly. This must be

done while the washer is spinning with a load. Use the

wrench (supplied) to adjust the feet until there is no

vibration. Then tighten the lock nuts to prevent further

adjustment.

NOTE: If there are vibration and noise during the spin

cycle, re-check the leveling of the washer, adjust

the feet as required, and tighten the lock nuts

securely to prevent changes in adjustment.

Run the washer with a test load to make certain

your washer is properly leveled. Put

approximately 6 pounds of laundry in the

machine. Then, press POWER, RINSE+SPIN, and

START/PAUSE, in that order. When the machine

spins at high speed, verify that it is stable. If not,

adjust the feet accordingly.

• If you install the washer and dryer with pedestals, it is

necessary to level with the pedestal feet.

󳀌 Diagonal Check

When pushing down the edges of the washing machine

top plate diagonally, the machine should not move up

and down at all. (Please, check both directions.)

If the machine rocks when pushing the machine top plate

diagonally, adjust the feet again.

Tighten

PREPARATION BEFORE WASHING

1. Fabric Care Labels

Look for a care label on your clothes. This will tell you about the fabric content of your garment and how it should

be washed.

2. Sorting

To get the best results, sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle.

Different fabrics need to be washed in different ways.

Always sort dark colors from pale colors and whites. Wash separately as dye and lint transfer can occur causing

discoloration of white clothing. If possible, do not wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled ones.

Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light) Separate clothes according to amount of soil.

Color (White, Lights, Darks) Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.

Lint (Lint Producers, Collectors) Wash lint producers and lint collectors separately.

3. Check before loading

Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first.

Large items should not be more than half the total wash load.

Do not wash single items. This may cause an out-of-balance load. Add one or two similar items.

Single bulky items, such as blanket, comforter, or bedspread can be washed separately.

• Check all the pockets to make sure that they are

empty. Things such as clip, matches, pens,

coins, and keys can damage both your washer

and your clothes.

• Close zippers, hooks, and strings to make sure

that these items do not snag on other clothes.

• Pretreat dirt and stains by brushing a little

detergent dissolved in water onto stains like

collars and cuffs to help lift dirt.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.

NOTE: Do not wash or spin water-proof clothes.

The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum should not be tightly packed with items. The door of

the washer should close easily.

When unloading items, check under the door seal for small items.

USING THE DISPENSER

ENGLISH

The automatic dispenser consists of four compartments which hold 1) liquid chlorine bleach, 2) liquid fabric

softener, 3) liquid or powdered detergent for prewash and 4) liquid or powdered detergent

and color safe bleach for main wash.

All laundry products can be added at once in their respective dispenser compartments.

They will be dispensed at the appropriate time for most effective cleaning. After loading the laundry

additives into the dispenser, close the dispenser drawer.

Add detergent, bleach and fabric softener to the automatic dispenser following these steps:

1. Open the dispenser drawer.

2. Load the laundry products into the appropriate compartments.

3. Close the dispenser drawer slowly to avoid early dispensing of the laundry products.

NOTE: It is normal for small amounts of water to remain in the dispenser compartments at the end of the cycle.

 About detergent

• Add detergent to this compartment when using

the Prewash option. Liquid or powdered

detergent may be used in this compartment. The

detergent will automatically be dispensed during

Prewash if the Prewash option is selected.

• Add 1/2 the recommended amount of detergent

to the Prewash compartment and the

recommended amount of detergent to the main

wash compartment.

MAINTENANCE

 The water inlet filter

• " " error message will blink on the control panel when water does not enter the dispenser.

• If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged.

We recommend cleaning it every few months.

Before cleaning the washer interior, unplug the electrical power cord to avoid electrical shock hazards.

When disposing of the appliance, cut off the power cable, destroy the plug, and disable the door lock to prevent

young children from being trapped inside.

1. Open the lower cover cap (󲾩).

Turn the drain plug (󲾪) to pull

out the hose.

2. Unplug the drain plug 󲾪,

allowing the water to flow out.

At this time use a vessel to

prevent water from flowing

onto the floor. When water does

not flow any more, turn the

pump filter 󲾫 open to the left.

3. Remove any foreign objects from

the pump filter 󲾫. After cleaning,

turn the pump filter 󲾫 clockwise

and insert the drain plug 󲾪 to the

original place. Close the lower

cover cap󲾩.

 The drain pump filter

•

The drain filter collects threads and small objects left in the laundry.

Check regularly that the filter is clean to ensure smooth running of your machine.

• Allow the water to cool down before cleaning the drain pump filter.

CAUTION

Drain, using the drain hose, before opening the pump filter to remove objects.

Be careful when draining if the water is hot.

1. Turn off the water tap.

2. Unscrew the water inlet hose.

3. Clean the filter using a hard

bristle brush.

4. Tighten the inlet hose.

• IMPORTANT:

Use ONLY the inlet hoses

provided by LG with this laundry

product.

Aftermarket hoses are not

guaranteed to fit or function

correctly. Other hoses may

not tighten correctly and could

cause leaks. Subsequent

damage to product or property

will not be covered under the

terms of LG's warranty.

MAINTENANCE

 Cleaning the Dispenser

•

The dispenser may need to be cleaned periodically due to laundry additive build-up.

• Run warm water and use a soft brush or cloth on the drawer, liquid detergent box and inserts to remove any excess

laundry additives.

• Clean the drawer opening using water and a small brush.

• Follow the illustrations in reverse order to replace the parts to their proper location.

NOTE: Do not use any cleaning substance on the drawer opening other than water because it will drain into the tub.

If this should happen, set the washer for a rinse and spin cycle to remove any cleaning substance from the

washer before doing a load of laundry.

 The washing drum

• Remove items from the washer as soon as the cycle is completed. Wrinkling, color transfer, and odors may be

produced in items left in the washing drum.

• If you live in a hard water area, lime scale can continuously build up in places where it cannot be seen

and it is not easily removed from the drum.

Over time the build-up of scale clogs appliances, and if it is not kept in check, these will eventually

have to be replaced.

• Although the washing drum is made of Stainless steel, specks of rust can be caused by small metal articles

(paper clips, safety pins, etc.) which have been left in the drum.

• The washing drum should be cleaned from time to time.

 Cleaning your washer

1. Exterior

Proper care of your washer can extend its life.

The outside of the machine can be cleaned with warm water and a neutral, non-abrasive

household detergent.

Immediately wipe off any spills with a damp cloth.

Try not to damage the surface with sharp objects.

󳀌 IMPORTANT: Do not use methylated spirit, solvents or similar products.

2. Interior

Dry around the washer door opening, door seal and door glass. These areas should always be clean to ensure

a water-tight seal.

TUB CLEAN is a special cycle for cleaning the inside of the washer. This cycle uses higher water level with

higher spin speed. Perform this cycle regularly.

• To start the TUB CLEAN cycle:

1. Remove any clothing or items from the washer and close the door.

2. Open the dispenser drawer and add liquid chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment.

NOTE: Do not add any detergent to the detergent compartments. Excessive suds may be produced and leak

from the washer.

3. Close the dispenser drawer slowly.

4. Power On and then press the Extra Rinse button for 3 seconds. (Prewash option will be selected.)

5. Press the Start/Pause button to start.

6. After the cycle is complete, leave the door open to dry around the washer door opening, door seal and

door glass.

CAUTION: If there are small children in the house, care must be taken so that they can not climb into or

play inside the washer while it is open for drying.

NOTE: Remove hard water deposits using only cleaners labeled as safe for washing machines.

 Winterizing instructions

If the washer is stored in an area where freezing can occur or moved in freezing temperatures, follow these

winterizing instructions to prevent damage to the washer:

1. Turn off water supply tap.

2. Disconnect hoses from water supply and drain water from hoses.

3. Plug electrical cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet.

4. Add 1 gallon (3.8



) nontoxic recreational vehicle (RV) antifreeze to empty wash drum. Close door.

5. Set spin cycle and let washer spin for 1 minute to drain out all the water.

Not all of the RV antifreeze will be expelled.

6. Unplug electrical power cord, dry drum interior, and close door.

7. Remove the two-compartment container from the Dispenser. Drain any water in compartments and dry the

compartments.

8. Store washer in an upright position.

9. To remove antifreeze from washer after storage, run empty washer through a complete cycle using detergent.
