PRODUCT FEATURES
PRODUCT FEATURES
INVERTER DIRECT-DRIVE MOTOR
The inverter direct drive motor, which is directly attached to the drum, is capable of producing mul-
tiple distinct different motions for optimal washing performance with very little noise and vibration.
The motor assembly also contains fewer moving parts, thus resulting in fewer repairs.
SMART DIAGNOSIS™
Should you experience any technical difficulty with your washing machine, it has the capability of
transmitting data by phone to the Customer Information Center. The call center agent records the
data transmitted from your machine and uses it to analyze the issue, providing a fast and effective
diagnosis (Refer to page 45).
TUB CLEAN
Cleaning of the tub on a regular monthly basis using Tub Clean can help keep the tub clean and
fresh.
MAGNETIC DOOR PLUNGER
Safely and conveniently secure the door slightly ajar with the magnetic door plunger. This will pro-
mote air circulation and allow the interior of the machine to dry. To use this feature, after the load has
been removed, do not close the door completely.
When the magnetic door plunger comes into contact with the metal washer cabinet, it will secure the
door slightly open allowing the interior of the washer to dry.
LARGE CAPACITY STAINLESS STEEL DRUM
The large capacity stainless steel drum offers extreme durability and is tilted to improve efficiency
and allow easier access for large items.
CHILD LOCK
Use this option to disable the controls during a wash cycle. This option can prevent children from
changing cycles or operating the machine.
DETERGENT DISPENSER DRAWER
The four-compartment dispenser drawer makes it easy to separate the pre-wash detergent, main
laundry detergent, liquid bleach, and fabric softener into different compartments.
HIGH TEMPERATURE STEAM CYCLES
LG's unique, high-temperature steam cycles help to remove tough stains.
TAG ON
The Tag On feature works on most NFC equipped smart phones by communicating with your Tag
On equipped LG appliance. Using the LG Smart Laundry application, the Tag On feature allows you
to diagnose your appliance, download new cycles, and see the status of your appliance by simply
touching the smart phone to the Tag On logo of the appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
WARNING
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, explosion, or electric
shock, or to prevent property damage, injury to persons, or death.
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey
all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word DANGER, WARNING or CAUTION.
These words mean:
DANGER
You will be killed or seriously injured if you don’t immediately follow instructions.
WARNING
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.
CAUTION
You may be slightly injured or cause damage to the product if you do not follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell
you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions,
including the following.
• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described
in this Owner’s Manual.
• Before use, the washer must be properly installed as
described in this manual.
• 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
washer, 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.
• Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used
near children.
• Before the washer is removed from service or discarded,
remove the lid to prevent children from climbing inside.
• Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to
the weather or freezing temperatures.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Keep the area underneath and around your appliances free
of combustible materials (lint, paper, rags, etc.), gasoline,
chemicals and other flammable vapors and liquids.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt
any servicing other than as described in this manual. We
strongly recommend that any service be performed by a
qualified technician.
• See Installation Instructions for grounding requirements.
• ALWAYS follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the
garment manufacturer.
• Do not place items exposed to cooking oil in your washer.
Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a
chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.
• Use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static only as
recommended by the manufacturer.
• This washer is not designed for maritime use or for mobile
installations such as in RVs, aircraft, etc.
• Turn off the water faucets and unplug the washer if the
machine is to be left for an extended period of time, such as
during vacations.
• Packaging material can be dangerous for children. There is a
risk of suffocation! Keep all packaging from children.
• Always check the inside of the washer for foreign objects
before loading laundry. Keep the lid closed when not in use.
• Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or agitator is
moving.
• WARNING : This product contains chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Checking and choosing the proper location
Install the washing machine on a solid floor that
is strong and rigid enough to support the weight
of the washing machine, even when fully loaded,
without flexing or bouncing. If the floor has too
much flex, you may need to reinforce it to make
it more rigid. If the floor is not solid, it may cause
severe vibration and noise.
1
Clean the floor before installation.
- Make sure to select solid and smooth ground.
2
Two or more people are needed for moving and
unpacking the washing machine.
3
Allow for sufficient space between the walls and
the washing machine for installation.
Space requirements
You must allow sufficient space for water lines, the
drain line, and airflow.
NOTE
y
Be sure to allow for wall, door, or floor
moldings that may increase the required
clearances.

NOTE
y
The floor must be strong and rigid enough
to support the weight of the washer, when
fully loaded, without flexing or bouncing. If
your floor has too much flex, you may need
to reinforce it to make it more rigid.
A floor that is adequate for a top-loading
washer may not be rigid enough for a front-
loading washer, due to the difference in the
spin speed and direction. If the floor is not
solid, your washer may vibrate and you may
hear and feel the vibration throughout your
house.
y
Before installing the washer, make sure
the floor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt,
water and oil so the washer feet can not
slide easily. Leveling feet that can move or
slide on the floor can contribute to excess
vibration and noise due to poor contact with
the floor.
y
If a drip pan must be used, take extra care
to follow the instructions provided with the
drip pan and make sure the leveling feet are
adjusted for firm and even contact with the
pan. Use of drip pans and failure to properly
level the machine may result in increased
vibration and noise during operation.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Leveling the washing machine
The washer tub of your new washing machine
spins at very high speeds. To minimize vibration,
noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must be
perfectly level and solid.
1
Check that the washing machine is level.
- Check the precise levelness by rocking the top
edges of the washing machine or placing a level
on the washing machine. The slope beneath the
washing machine must not exceed 1°, and all
four leveling feet must rest firmly on the floor.
Level
1°
2
Turn the lower leveling feet clockwise to level the
washing machine.
- Turning the lower leveling feet clockwise raises
the washing machine.

3.
WARNING
y
Using the washing machine without leveling
it may result in malfunction caused by the
production of excess vibration and noise.
y
If you are installing the washing machine
on the optional pedestal, you must adjust
the leveling feet on the pedestal to level the
washing machine. The washing machine´s
leveling feet should be minimized. Turn the
locknuts counterclockwise to secure.
y
Use the leveling feet only when you level the
washing machine. If you raise the leveling feet
unnecessarily, it may cause abnormal vibration
of the washing machine.
Using non-skid pads (optional)
If you install the washing machine on a slippery
surface, it may move because of excessive
vibration. Incorrect leveling may cause malfunction
through noise and vibration. If this occurs, lay the
non-skid pads under the leveling feet and adjust the
level.
1
Clean the floor to attach the non-skid pads.
- Use a dry rag to remove and clean foreign
objects or moisture. If moisture remains, the
non-skid pads may slip.
2
Adjust the level after placing the washing
machine in the installation area.
3
Place the adhesive side of the non-skid pad on
the floor.
- It is most effective to install the non-skid pads
under the front legs. If it is hard to place the
pads under the front legs, place them under the
back legs.

PREPARATION
u Check all pockets to make sure that they are
empty.
- Items such as clips, matches, pens, coins, and
keys can damage both your washer and your
clothes.
u Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to
prevent these items from snagging or tangling
on other clothes.
u Pretreat heavily stained areas before washing.
- Doing so will produce clean, stain-free results.
u Combine large and small items in a load. Load
large items first.
u Large items should not be more than half of
the total wash load.
u The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum
should not be tightly packed with items.
-The door of the washer should close easily.
u Do not wash single items, except for bulky
items such as blankets. Make sure to wash
laundry in similar types of loads.
- Washing a single small item may result in the
tub becoming unbalanced, vibrating and
making a noise.
u Do not wash waterproof clothes.
- This may cause abnormal vibration, or may
cause the load to bounce, which could
damage the tub.
u Check if there are any foreign objects in the
door seal and take extra care that clothes do
not get caught there.
- Foreign objects in the door seal may stain
clothes, and water may leak if clothes get
caught in the door seal.
u Wash underwear or small, light items in a
laundry net.
- Small, light items may get caught in the door
seal, and a brassiere hook may damage other
items or the tub.
u Brush heavy soil, dust, or hair off fabrics before
washing.
- Laundry may not wash clean if there is dirt or
sand on the fabrics, or items may be
damaged due to particles rubbing against
sheer fabrics.
u Wash blankets individually.
- Washing more than one blanket together may
produce unsatisfactory results due to tangling
or an unbalanced load.
u Always separate fabrics according to their
colors and wash them separately to prevent
colors from running.
- Fabrics may be damaged or become stained
due to fabric dyes running, or due to foreign
objects transferring from one fabric to
another.

PREPARATION
Loading the Dispenser
The detergent dispenser drawer of the washing
machine has a dispenser compartment for
each detergent type. Add each detergent to its
appropriate compartment.
1
Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer.
2
Add each detergent to its appropriate
compartment.
- If you use a liquid detergent, check if the
liquid detergent cup is in place.
- If you use a powdered detergent, remove the
liquid detergent cup and put the powder in
the main wash detergent compartment.

3
Close the detergent dispenser drawer slowly.
- Slamming the detergent dispenser drawer
may result in the detergent overflowing into
another compartment or pouring into the tub
earlier than programmed.
NOTE
y
It is normal for a small amount of water to
remain in the dispenser compartments at the
end of the cycle.
Using Detergent/Fabric Softener
Recommended Detergent
Make sure to use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent
for front-loading washing machines. HE
detergents dissolve more efficiently and produce
fewer suds to ensure efficient washing and
rinsing. Use the correct amount of detergent as
indicated on the detergent packaging.
Specially designed to use only
HE (High-Efficiency) detergent
NOTE
y
Only use HE detergents, because using a
regular detergent may produce excessive
suds.
y
HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve
more efficiently to improve washing and
rinsing performance, and help to keep the
interior of your washer clean.
y
Use less detergent for soft water.
y
Wipe up any spills immediately, as liquids
could damage the finish and the control
panel of the washing machine.
y
Using too much detergent can cause a build-
up in the tub resulting in unsatisfactory
performance and machine malfunction.
y
If you use a detergent that does not dissolve
easily or a detergent with high viscosity, it
will leave a residue on the tub, which may
not rinse properly.
