along the floor
14–16” (356–406 mm) from the water supply
line

and tape it in place.
• The electrical outlet must be within 4 ft. (1.22
m) of either side of the dishwasher.
• The best location for the electrical conduit is
on the right side of the back wall. Re-route
the electrical cable before installation if the
electrical conduit pipe is longer than 3” (76
mm) and is centered on the back wall.
WARNING
Water Connection
• Do not reuse an old hose. Use only a new
hose when installing the dishwasher. The old
hose could leak or burst causing flooding and
property damage. Contact an LG Customer
Information Center for assistance in buying a
new hose.
Electrical Connection
• Use a time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.
• Operate this appliance with the correct
voltage as shown in this manual and on the
rating plate.
• The wiring must be grounded properly. If
in doubt, have it checked by a qualified
electrician.
• Connect the appliance using 3-wires,
including a ground wire.
• The appliance and outlet must be positioned
so that the plug is easily accessible.
• Do not use an extension cable or adapter
with this dishwasher.
• Do not overload the outlet with more than
one appliance.
• The included 16AWG wire nuts should be
used.
• It is the personal responsibility and obligation
of the product owner to have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
CAUTION
• When connecting the dishwasher water
supply line to the house water supply, sealing
tape or compound should be used on pipe
threads to avoid leaks. Tape or compound
should not be used on compression fittings.
• Connect the dishwasher to a hot water
supply with a temperature range between
120 °F (49 °C) and 149 °F (65 °C). This
temperature range provides the best washing
results and shortest cycle time. To prevent
damage to dishes, the temperature should
not exceed 149 °F (65 °C).
• Water supply pressure must be between 20
psi and 80 psi (140–550 kPa). If the water
supply pressure exceeds 80 psi, a pressure
reducing valve must be installed. Otherwise
premature failure of the inlet valve may occur.
