INSTALLATION

Unpacking and Removing Shipping Material

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

CAUTION

• 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 containing the owner’s manual, parts, and laundry product samples from the tub until the washer is in the final location.

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.

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

• 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.
• o 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

Connect the drain hose to either a standpipe or laundry tub.

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.
• Do not install the drain hose with the end lower than 29.5 inches (75 cm) or higher than 96 inches (244 cm) above the bottom of the washer or more than 60 inches (152 cm) away from the washer.
• 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).

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 Washer

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.

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

OPERATION

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

Fabric Care Labels

Many articles of clothing include a fabric care label. Using the chart below, adjust the cycle and option selections to care for your clothing according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Loading the Washer

General Tips

• Check and empty pockets. Paper clips, coins, matches, etc. 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 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

Adding Cleaning Products

About Detergent Use

This washer is designed for use with only HE (HighEfficiency) detergents.

• HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing performance, and help to keep the interior of the washer clean. Using detergent that is not HE may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance which could result in error codes, cycle failure, and washer damage.
• Detergents designated as HE-compatible may not provide optimal results.
• For proper wash performance, always measure detergent using the measuring device provided by the detergent manufacturer. For an average load, use less than half of the recommended maximum. Use less detergent for soft water, light soil, or smaller loads
• Use extra care when measuring 2X and 3X concentrated detergents because even a small amount of extra detergent can lead to problems.
• Never use more than the maximum amount of detergent recommended by the manufacturer. Using too much detergent can lead to oversudsing, poor rinsing, detergent buildup in clothing, and residue buildup that can contribute to odors in the washer.
• Do not use more than one single-use detergent pack in the washer. Using too much detergent may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance. Reduce detergent amount or add an extra rinse if detergent residue is left on fabrics. To add an extra rinse, select the Extra Rinse option.

About the Dispensers

The automatic dispenser consists of two compartments which hold:

• Liquid fabric softener
• Liquid or powdered detergent for main wash

Using the Detergent and Softener Dispenser Drawer

To add detergent and fabric softener to the automatic dispenser drawer:

1 Open the dispenser drawer.

2 Load the laundry products into the appropriate compartments.

Liquid fabric softener compartment

Main wash liquid detergent cup

Insert

Main wash powdered detergent compartment

3 Gently close the detergent dispenser drawer 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 dispenser compartments at the end of the cycle.

Main Wash Detergent Compartment

This compartment holds laundry detergent for the main wash cycle. Either powdered or liquid detergent may be used in this compartment

• The detergent is added to the load at the beginning of the cycle. Always use HE (HighEfficiency) detergent with your washer.
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too much detergent can result in detergent buildup in clothing and the washer.
• Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be added to the main wash compartment with detergent of the same type. Do not mix liquids and powders.
• When using liquid detergent, make sure the liquid detergent cup and insert are in place.
• When using powdered detergent, remove the insert and liquid detergent cup from the dispenser. Powdered detergent will not dispense with the liquid detergent cup and insert in place.
• If you use a detergent that does not dissolve easily or a detergent with high viscosity, it will leave a residue and clog the dispenser

Fabric Softener Compartment

This compartment holds liquid fabric softener, which is automatically dispensed during the final rinse cycle.

• Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too much fabric softener may stain clothes.
• Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm wate
• Never pour fabric softener directly onto the load or into the tub.

Using the Liquid Bleach Dispenser

The bleach dispenser is a separate compartment at the left front of the tub opening.

1 Check clothing care labels for special instructions.

2 Measure liquid bleach carefully, following the instructions on the bottle.

• HE (High-Efficiency) washers use less water, so less bleach is needed. One half cup is enough for most loads.

3 Carefully pour the pre-measured amount of bleach directly into the bleach dispenser.

• If you are using powdered bleach of any kind, pour it directly into the tub before adding the laundry.
• Never add powdered bleach to the liquid bleach dispenser.

Automatic Bleach Dispenser

On some models, the bleach dispenser is connected to the inlet valve. The bleach is automatically diluted and dispensed at the proper time in the wash cycle.

• The dispenser is activated twice to ensure complete dispensing of the bleach. Any liquid remaining in the dispenser at the end of the cycle is water, not bleach.

Immediate Bleach Dispenser

On some models, when you pour the bleach into the bleach dispenser, the bleach is immediately added to the tub as it fills with water, safely diluting the bleach.

• The dispenser cover cannot be removed. To clean the cover, wipe it with a damp paper towel.
