INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CHOOSE THE PROPER LOCATION

WARNING

The washer is heavy. Two or more people are required when moving and unpacking the washer. Failure to do so may result in damage to property or serious bodily harm.

Store and install the washer where it will not be exposed to temperatures below freezing or exposed to outdoor weather conditions. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.

Property ground washer to conform with all electric governing codes and ordinances. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not install the washer in humid spaces. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.

To ensure proper air flow, do not block the large opening on the bottom of the washer with carpeting or other materials.

Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter or extension cord. Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.

POWER OUTLET

• The power outlet must be within 60 in. (1.5 m) of either side of the washer.
• The appliance and outlet must be positioned so that the plug is easily accessible.
• Do not overload the outlet with more than one appliance.
• The outlet must be grounded in accordance with current wiring electric codes and regulations.
• Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.

NOTE: It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the product owner to have a proper outlet installed by a qualified service technician.

FLOORING

• To minimize noise and vibration, the washer MUST be installed on a solidly constructed floor.
• Allowable slope under the entire washer is a maxi- mum 1 in. difference from side to side or from front to back.
• Installing on carpeting and soft tile surfaces is not recommended.
• Never install the washer on a platform or weakly sup- ported structure.

NOTE: 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, pro- vided it is built to FHA standards. The washer should not be installed on rugs or exposed to weather.

To ensure sufficient clearance for water lines and airflow, allow minimum clearances of at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) at the sides and 4 in (10 cm) behind the unit. 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 56 in.

UNPACKING AND REMOVING SHIPPING MATERIAL

1. 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 base packaging materials, 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. Save the foam block (that contains the Owner's Manual, parts and laundry product samples) for future use. If the washer must be moved in the future, the foam block will help prevent damage to the washer during transportation.

NOTE: To prevent damage, do not remove the foam block until the washer is at the final location.

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

CONNECTING THE WATER LINES

• For your safety, and for extended product life, we recommend using high-quality LG components.LG is not responsible for product malfunction or damage caused by the use of separately purchased non-LG parts.
• Use new hoses when installing the washing ma- chine. Do not reuse old hoses.
• Contact LG Customer Service for assistance in buying hoses: 1-800-243-0000.
• 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.
• Periodically check the hose for cracks, leaks, and wear, and replace the hoses every 5 years.
• Make sure that the water lines are not stretched, pinched, crushed, or kinked.
• The washer should never be installed or stored in a location subject to freezing temperatures. Damage to the water lines 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.

1. Inspect the threaded fitting on each hose and make sure there is a rubber seal in place in both ends.

WARNING Do not reuse old hoses. Only use new hoses when you install the washing machine. Old hoses could leak or burst causing flooding and property damage.

2. Connect water supply hoses to the HOT and COLD water faucets tightly by hand and then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers.

3. Always run a gallon or two of water through each inlet hose to flush dirt, scale and other debris out of the water lines. Doing so will help prevent future problems with clogged filter screens, and will also allow you to verify which hose is hot and which is cold.

4. Attach the hot water line to the hot water inlet on the back of the washer. Attach the cold water line to the cold water inlet on the back of the washer.Tighten the fittings securely. Turn ON both fau- cets all the way and check for leaks at both ends of the hoses.

NOTE: Be careful not to cross-thread the hose fit- tings. This will damage the valve and could result in property damage from leaks.

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
• 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.

OPTION 1: STANDPIPE

• Bend the outlet end of the drain hose to form a U shape. Insert the end of the drain hose into the drain.
• 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. Use the tie strap included with the installation materials in the foam block in the tub to secure the drain hose to the drain.
• If the water valves and drain are built into the wall, fasten the drain hose to one of the water hoses with the tie strap (ribbed side on inside).
• If your drain is a standpipe, fasten the drain hose to the standpipe with the tie strap provided.

NOTE:

• Normal height of the end of the hose should be ap- proximately 35"-47" (0.9-1.2 m) from the floor.
• Do not install the end of the drain hose lower than 29 (73.7 cm) or higher than 96 in. (243.8 cm) above the bottom of the washer or more tann 60 in. (152.4 cm) away from the washer.
• Never create an air-tight seal between the drain hose and the drain, using tape or other methods. If no air gap is present, water can be siphoned out of the tub resulting in poor wash/rinse performance or clothing damage.

OPTION 2: LAUNDRY TUB

Bend the end of the drain hose to the desired shape and support it on the edge of the laundry tub. Use the tie strap to secure the drain hose in place.

LEVELING THE WASHER

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

NOTE:

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

All four leveling feet must rest solidly on the floor. Attempt to rock the washer from corner to corner to make sure that all four leveling feet are in firm contact with the floor.

1. Position the washer in its final location, taking special care not to pinch, strain, or crush the water and drain lines. Place a level across the top of the washer.

2. Adjust the leveling feet. Turn clockwise to raise the washer or counterclockwise to lower it.

3. To make sure that the washer is properly level, open the lid and look from above to see if the tub is centered. If the tub is NOT centered (as shown in the drawing with the X through it), readjust the front feet. If you have a level, check your washer with the level.

• 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 front to back, place a level at the side of the washer on the edge where the cabinet side meets the top cover. Do not place the level on the top of the lid. Using these sur- faces will result in the washer being unlevel.

CARE AND CLEANING

REGULAR CLEANING

CLEANING THE EXTERIOR

Proper care of your washer can extend its life. The outside of the nachine can be cleaned with warm water and a mild, nonabrasive household detergent.

Immediately wipe off any spills with a soft, damp cloth

IMPORTANT: Do not use solvents, cleaning alco- hols, or similar products. Never use steel wool or abrasive cleaners because they can damage the surface.

CARE AND CLEANING OF THE INTERIOR

Use a towel or soft cloth to wipe around the washer lid opening and lid glass.

Always remove items from the washer as soon as the cycle is complete. Leaving damp items in the washer can cause wrinkling, color transfer, and odor. Run the Tub Clean cycle once a month, or more of- ten if needed, to remove detergent buildup and other residue.

TUB CLEAN CYCLE

Some environmental and usage conditions can cause a residue to build up in the tub over time and can lead to a mildewy or musty smell. The Tub Clean cycle is specially designed to remove this buildup using bleach or another cleaners designed specifically for cleaning washing machines. Run the Tub Clean cycle once a month, or more often under heavy use conditions or if odor is present

1. Remove any clothing from the tub.
2. Fill the bleach dispenser to the MAX line with liquid chlorine bleach. Do not overfill the bleach dispenser. Overfilling will cause the bleach to dispense immediately. NOTE: For other tub cleaning products, follow the cleaner manufacturer's instructions and recommendations. For powdered cleaning products, add the cleaner to the rain wash compartment of the dispenser drawer after removing the liquid detergent dispenser insert.
3. Close the lid and press the POWER button to turn the washer ON. Turn the knob to select the TUB CLEAN cycle then press the START/PAUSE but- ton to begin the cycle. Selecting any other cycle after Tub Clean has been selected will cause the Tub Clean cycle to be cancelled.
4. After the cycle ends, open the lid and allow the tub interior to dry completely.

NOTE:

• Never load laundry while using TUB CLEAN. The laundry may be damaged or contaminated with cleaning products. Make sure to run the Tub
• Clean cycle ONLY when it is empty.
• It is recommended to leave the lid open after finishing the laundry to keep the tub clean,
• It is recommended that TUB CLEAN should be repeated monthly.
• If mildew or musty smell already exists, run TUB CLEAN for 3 consecutive weeks.

REMOVING MINERAL BUILDUP

If you live in an area with hard water, mineral scale can form on internal components of the washer. Use of a water softener is recommended in areas with hard water.

Use adescaler, such as Washer Magic®, to remove visible mineral buildup. After descaling, always run the Tub Clean cycle before washing clothing

Mineral scale and other spots may be removed from the stainless steel tub using a stainless steel cleaner. Do NOT use steel wool or abrasive cleaners

LEAVE THE LID OPEN

If the washer will not be used for several days, leave the lid open overnight to allow the tub to dry.

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE WATER INLET FILTERS

If the washer does not fill properly, an error mes- sage will show on the display. The inlet valve filter screens could be plugged by hard water scale, sediment in the water supply, or other debris.

NOTE: 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 stick open resulting in flooding and/or property damage.

1. Turn OFF both water faucets completely. Un- screw the hot and cold water lines from the back of the washer.

IMPORTANT: Aftermarket hoses are not guaran- teed to fit or function correctly. Other hoses may not tighten correctly and could cause leaks. Sub- sequent damage to product or property will not be covered under the terms of the product warranty.

2. Carefully remove the filters from the water valves and soak them in white vinegar or a lime scale remover, following the manufacturer’s instructions, Be careful not to damage the filters while cleaning.

3. Rinse thoroughly before reinstalling. Press the fil- ters back into place.

4. Before reattaching the hoses, flush the hoses and water lines by running several gallons of water into a bucket or drain, preferably with the faucets wide open for maximum flow.

7. Remove the inserts from the dispenser. Drain any water in the compartments and let them dry
8. Store the washer in an upright position.
9. To remove the antifreeze from the washer after storage, run a complete Speed Wash cycle using detergent. Do not add laundry to this cycle.

CLEANING THE WASHER PROPER USE OF DETERGENT

Using too much detergent is a common cause of laundry problems. Today's detergents are formulated to be effective without visible sudsing. Be sure to carefully read and follow manufacturer's recommendations for how much detergent to use in your wash. You can use less detergent if you have soft water, a smaller load, or a lightly soiled load.

NOTE: Use only low-sudsing, high-efficiency detergent. These detergents can be identified by the HE logo.

CARE AND CLEANING OF THE WASHER

Lid: Wash with a damp cloth on the outside and in- side and then dry with a soft cloth.

Exterior: Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe with damp cloth. Do not touch the surface or the display with sharp objects
