• 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.
• Certain internal parts are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk of electric shock only during servicing. Service personnel - Do not contact the following parts while the appliance is energized: pump, valve, motor, control board.

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

• Be sure to allow for wall, door, or floor moldings that may increase the required clearances.

Clearances

NOTE

• 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.
• Before installing the washer, make sure the floor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oils 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.
• 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.

Installing on a Pedestal or Stacking Kit

NOTE

Refer to the instructions packaged with the optional PEDESTAL or STACKING KIT before installing with a PEDESTAL or a STACKING KIT.

Unpacking and Removing Shipping Bolts

When removing the washer from the carton base, be sure to remove the foam drum support in the middle of the carton base.

If you must lay the washer down to remove the base packaging materials, always lay it carefully on its side.

Do NOT lay the washer on its front or back.

1 Starting with the bottom two shipping bolts, use the wrench (included) to fully loosen all four shipping bolts by turning them counterclockwise. Remove the bolt assemblies by wiggling them slightly while pulling them out.

2 Locate the four hole caps included in the accessory pack and install them in the shipping bolt holes.

NOTE

• Save the bolt assemblies for future use. To prevent damage to internal components, DO NOT transport the washer without reinstalling the shipping bolts.
• Failure to remove shipping bolts and retainers may cause severe vibration and noise, which can lead to permanent damage to the washer. The cord is secured to the back of the washer with a shipping bolt to help prevent operation with shipping bolts in place.

Connecting the Water Lines

1 Check the rubber seals on both sides of the hose. - Insert a rubber seal into the threaded fittings on each hose to prevent leaking.

2 Connect the water supply 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 a cold water faucet and the red hose to a hot water faucet.

WARNING

• Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result.

3 After connecting inlet hose to water faucets, turn on the water faucets to flush out foreign substances (dirt, sand or sawdust) in the water lines. Let water drain into a bucket, and check the water temperature.

4 Connect the hoses to the water inlets tightly by hand and then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers.

• Connect the blue hose to the cold water inlet and the red hose to the hot water inlet.

WARNING

• Do not overtighten the hoses. Overtightening can damage the valves resulting in leaking and property damage.

5 Check for leaks by turning on the faucets. - If water leaks, check steps 1 to 4 again.

NOTE

• For your safety, and for extended product life, use only authorized components. The manufacturer is not responsible for product malfunction or accidents caused by the use of separately purchased, unauthorized parts.
• Use new hoses when you install the washing machine. Do not reuse old hoses.
• LG recommends the use of LG hoses. Any leaking, property damage, to the washing machine caused by an improper installation or by the use of non-LG hoses is not covered under the terms of the LG warranty and is the sole responsibility of the customer and/or an installer.
  Periodically check the hoses for cracks, leaks and wear, and replace the hoses every five years.
• Do not stretch the water hoses intentionally, and make sure that they are not crushed 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.
  To provide optimum washing performance the hot water temperature should be set at 120 - 135^ (48-57°C) and the cold at 60^ (15^)

Connecting the Drain Line

Secure the drain hose in place to prevent moving and leaking.

NOTE

• The drain hose should be properly secured. Failure to properly secure the drain hose can result in flooding and malfunction.
  The end of the drain hose should not be less than 29 inches (73.7 cm) or more than 96 inches (244.8 cm) from the bottom of the washer.
• The drain must be installed in accordance with any applicable local codes and regulations.
  Make sure that the water lines are not stretched, pinched, crushed, or kinked.

Using a Standpipe

1 Clip the end of the hose into the elbow bracket.

• Connect the elbow bracket within 4 inches (10 cm) from the end of the drain hose. If the drain hose is extended more than 4 inches (10 cm) beyond the end of the elbow bracket, mold or microorganisms could spread to the inside of the washer.

2 Insert the end of the drain hose into the standpipe.

3 Use a tie strap to secure the drain hose in place.

Using a Laundry Tub

1 Clip the end of the hose into the elbow bracket.

• Connect the elbow bracket within 4 inches (10 cm) from the end of the drain hose. If the drain hose is extended more than 4 inches (10 cm) beyond the end of the elbow bracket, mold, or microorganisms could spread to the inside of the washer.

2 Hang the end of the drain hose over the side of the laundry tub.

3 Use a tie strap to secure the drain hose in place.

Leveling the Washer

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.

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 label of the detergent packaging.

Designed specially to use only HE (High-Efficiency) detergent

NOTE

Only use HE detergents, because using a regular detergent may produce excessive suds.
HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing performance, and help to keep the interior of the washer clean.
- Use less detergent for soft water.
- Wipe up any spills immediately, as liquids could damage the finish and the control panel of the washing machine.
- Using too much detergent can cause a buildup in the tub resulting in unsatisfactory performance and machine malfunction.
- 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.

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 the appropriate 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

It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the dispenser compartments at the end of the cycle.

Pre-wash Detergent Compartment

Add liquid or powdered detergent to this compartment when using the pre-wash option. Always use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with the washing machine.

NOTE

• If liquid detergent is to be used for the main wash when using the pre-wash option, the liquid detergent cup accessory must be used in main wash dispenser to prevent the main wash liquid detergent from being dispensed immediately.
• The amount of detergent added for the pre-wash option is 12 the amount recommended for the main wash cycle. For example, if the main wash cycle requires one measure of detergent, add 12 measure for the pre-wash option.

Main Wash Detergent Compartment

This compartment holds laundry detergent for the main wash cycle, which is added to the load at the beginning of the cycle. Always use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with your washing machine. Never exceed the manufacturer's recommendations when adding detergent. Using too much detergent can result in detergent buildup in clothing and the washer. Either powdered or liquid detergent may be used.

NOTE

• Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be added to the main wash compartment with detergent of the same type.
• When using liquid detergent, make sure the liquid detergent cup is in place. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
• When using powdered detergent, remove the liquid detergent cup from the compartment. Powdered detergent will not dispense with the liquid detergent cup in place.

Liquid Bleach Compartment

This compartment holds liquid chlorine bleach, which will be dispensed automatically at the proper time during the wash cycle.

NOTE

• Do not add powdered or liquid color-safe bleach to this compartment.
• Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations when adding bleach. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too much bleach can damage fabrics.
• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load or into the drum. Fabric damage can occur.

Fabric Softener Compartment

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

NOTE

• Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations when adding fabric softener. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too much fabric softener may result in stained clothes.
• Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm water. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
• Never pour fabric softener directly onto the load or into the drum.

PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES(FOR CANADIAN PRODUCTS):

EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED AT LAW, ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND LG ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR THE PRODUCT SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION, AND NOT IN A COURT OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED AT LAW, YOU AND LG BOTH IRREVOCABLY AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Definitions. For the purposes of this section, references to "LG" mean LG Electronics Canada, Inc., its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their officers, directors, employees, agents, beneficiaries, predecessors in interest, successors, assigns and suppliers; references to "dispute" or "claim" shall include any dispute, claim or controversy of any kind whatsoever (whether based in contract, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal or equitable theory) arising out of or relating in any way to the sale, condition or performance of the product or this Limited Warranty.

Notice of Dispute. In the event you intend to commence an arbitration proceeding, you must first notify LG in writing at least 30 days in advance of initiating the arbitration by sending a letter to LGECI Legal Team at 20 Norelco Drive, North York, Ontario, Canada M9L 2X6 (the "Notice of Dispute"). You and LG agree to engage in good faith discussions in an attempt to amicably resolve your claim. The notice must provide your name, address, and telephone number; identify the product that is the subject of the claim; and describe the nature of the claim and the relief being sought. If you and LG are unable to resolve the dispute within 30 days of LG's receipt of the Notice of Dispute, the dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the procedure set out herein. You and LG both agree that, during the arbitration proceeding, the terms (including any amount) of any settlement offer made by either you or LG will not be disclosed to the arbitrator until the arbitrator determines the dispute.

Agreement to Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. Upon failure to resolve the dispute during the 30 day period after LG's receipt of the Notice of Dispute, you and LG agree to resolve any claims between you and LG only by binding arbitration on an individual basis, unless you opt out as provided below, or you reside in a jurisdiction that prevents full application of this clause in the circumstances of the claims at issue (in which case if you are a consumer, this clause will only apply if you expressly agree to the arbitration). To the extent permitted by applicable law, any dispute between you and LG shall not be combined or consolidated with a dispute involving any other person's or entity's product or claim. More specifically, without limitation of the foregoing, except to the extent such a prohibition is not permitted at law, any dispute between you and LG shall not under any circumstances proceed as part of a class or representative action. Instead of arbitration, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, but that small claims court action may not be brought on a class or representative basis except to the extent this prohibition is not permitted at law in your province or territory of jurisdiction as it relates to the claims at issue between you and LG.

Arbitration Rules and Procedures. To begin arbitration of a claim, either you or LG must make a written demand for arbitration. The arbitration will be private and confidential, and conducted on a simplified and expedited basis before a single arbitrator chosen by the parties under the provincial or territorial commercial arbitration law and rules of the province or territory of your residence. You must also send a copy of your written demand to LG at LG Electronics, Canada, Inc., Attn: Legal Department- Arbitration, 20 Norelco Drive, North York, Ontario M9L 2X6. This arbitration provision is governed by your applicable provincial or territorial commercial arbitration legislation. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator's award in any court of competent jurisdiction. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that, issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision and to the arbitrability of the dispute are for the court to decide. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this provision.

Governing Law. The law of the province or territory of your purchase shall govern this Limited Warranty and any disputes between you and LG except to the extent that such law is preempted by or inconsistent with applicable federal or provincial/territorial law. Should arbitration not be permitted for any claim, action, dispute or controversy between you and LG, you and LG attend to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the province or territory of your purchase for the resolution of the claim, action, dispute or controversy between you and LG.

Fees/Costs. You do not need to pay any fee to begin an arbitration. Upon receipt of your written demand for arbitration, LG will promptly pay all arbitration filing fees unless you seek more than $25,000 in damages, in which case the payment of these fees will be governed by the applicable arbitration rules. Except as otherwise provided for herein, LG will pay all filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules and this arbitration provision. If you prevail in the arbitration, LG will pay your attorneys' fees and expenses as long as they are reasonable, by considering factors including, but not limited to, the purchase amount and claim amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if applicable law allows for an award of reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, an arbitrator can award them to the same extent that a court would. If the arbitrator finds either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the applicable laws), then the payment of all arbitration fees will be governed by the applicable arbitration rules. In such a situation, you agree to reimburse LG for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the applicable arbitration rules. Except as otherwise provided for, LG waives any rights it may have to seek attorneys' fees and expenses from you if LG prevails in the arbitration.

Hearings and Location. If your claim is for 25,000 or less, you may choose to have the arbitration conducted solely (1) on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, (2) through a telephonic hearing, or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the applicable arbitration rules. If your claim exceeds 25,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the applicable arbitration rules. Any in-person arbitration hearings will be held at the nearest, most mutually-convenient arbitration location available within the province or territory in which you reside unless you and LG both agree to another location or agree to a telephonic arbitration.

Severability and Waiver. If any portion of this Limited Warranty (including these arbitration procedures) is unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Should LG fail to enforce strict performance of any provision of this Limited Warranty (including these arbitration procedures), it does not mean that LG intends to waive or has waived any provision or part of this Limited Warranty.

Opt Out. You may opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. If you opt out, neither you nor LG can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must send notice to LG no later than 30 calendar days from the date of the first consumer purchaser's purchase of the product by either (i) sending an e-mail to [e-mail], with the subject line: "Arbitration Opt Out;" or (ii) calling 1-800-980-2973. You must include in the opt out e-mail or provide by telephone: (a) your name and address; (b) the date on which the product was purchased; (c) the product model name or model number; and (d) the serial number (the serial number can be found (i) on the product; or (ii) online by accessing https://www/lg.com/ca_en/support/ repair-service/schedule-repair and clicking on "Find My Model & Serial Number").

In the event that you "Opt Out", the law of the province or territory of your residence shall govern this Limited Warranty and any disputes between you and LG except to the extent that such law is preempted by or inconsistent with applicable federal or provincial/territorial law. Should arbitration not be permitted for any claim, action, dispute or controversy between you and LG, you and LG agree to attain to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the province or territory of your residence for the resolution of the claim, action, dispute or controversy between you and LG.

You may only opt out of the dispute resolution procedure in the manner described above (that is, by e-mail or telephone); no other form of notice will be effective to opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. Opting out of this dispute resolution procedure will not affect the coverage of the Limited Warranty in any way, and you will continue to enjoy the full benefits of the Limited Warranty. If you keep this product and do not opt out, then you accept all terms and conditions of the arbitration provision described above.

Conflict of Terms. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Limited Warranty and the End User License Agreement ("EUL A") in regards to dispute resolution, the terms of this Limited Warranty shall control and govern the rights and obligations of the parties and shall take precedence over the EULA.
