• 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.

• Do 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 shut off 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 a 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 Flush out the inlet hoses.

• After the hoses are connected, turn on the water faucets and flush out any foreign substances such as dirt, sand, or sawdust.13INSTALLATION ENGLISH

• 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. WARNING

• The drain hose should always be properly secured. Failure to properly secure the drain hose can result in flooding and property damage. 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 drum resulting in poor wash/rinse performance or clothing damage. Using a Standpipe to Drain 1 Clip the end of the hose into the elbow bracket.

• Connect the elbow bracket a within 4 inches (10 cm) of 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 the provided tie strap b to secure the drain hose in place. 4 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 c (ribbed side on inside). 4 "(10 cm)14 INSTALLATION Using the Laundry Tub to Drain 1 Clip the end of the hose into the elbow bracket.

• If the Start/Pause button is not pressed within a certain time, the washer shuts off and all settings are lost. 7 End of cycle.

• When the cycle is finished, a melody sounds. Immediately remove the clothing from the washer to reduce wrinkling.18 OPERATION

• Check around the door seal when removing the load for small items that may be caught in the seal. NOTE

• The washer rotates the laundry in a way that allows it to use less water while still fully saturating the clothing. It is normal to be unable to see water during the wash cycle.

• If the temperature or the water level inside the machine is too high, the door will not unlock when the Start/Pause button is pressed, and the Add Item function will not be available (on applicable models). To stop a cycle and drain the water completely, turn the power off, then on, and then select Rinse+Spin. Sorting Laundry CAUTION

• Clothing or articles that are waterproof or water-resistant must be washed in the Waterproof, Bedding, Bulky/Large, or Jumbo Wash cycle only. (Examples include water resistant clothing, mattress covers, outdoor clothes, and plastic mats.) Failure to do so may result in personal injury or damage to the washer, clothes, walls, floor, and surrounding objects due to abnormal vibration.

• Remove the stuffing from pillows and cushions before washing the covers. Failure to do so can cause excessive vibration, resulting in damage to the washer, clothes, nearby objects, walls, and floor. 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 By Colors By Soil By Fabric By Lint White Heavy Delicates Lint Producer Lights Normal Easy Care Lint Collector Darks Light Sturdy19OPERATION ENGLISH 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 CAUTION

• Clothing or articles that are waterproof or water- resistant must be washed in the Waterproof, Bedding, Bulky/Large, or Jumbo Wash cycle only. (Examples include water resistant clothing, mattress covers, outdoor clothes, and plastic mats.) Failure to do so may result in personal injury or damage to the washer, clothes, walls, floor, and surrounding objects due to abnormal vibration. 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.

• For best performance, load clothes as shown. - Do not press down on items while stacking them in the drum. - Load clothes loosely, and do not overfill the drum. Clothes need room to circulate in order to get clean.

• Combine large and small items in the drum. Load large items first. Large items should not be more than half of the total load.

• The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum should not be tightly packed with items. The door of the washer must close easily.

• The washer will not fill or operate with the door open.

• Wash thick, bulky items individually. Heavy blankets, comforters, bedspreads, or pet beds can get tangled or cause an unbalanced load if combined with other items. Small Items

• Do not wash a single small item. Add enough similar items to the load to prevent an out-of- balance load.

• Wash small, light items in a mesh bag. Small items can get caught in the impeller at the bottom of the drum, and brassiere hooks can snag on other clothing or the drum. Adding Cleaning Products About Detergent Use This washer is designed for use with only HE (High- Efficiency) 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. a Maximum fill line b Average load fill line c Liquid detergent d Powdered detergent Single-Use Detergent Packs Place liquid or powdered detergent packs in the drum before loading laundry. Do not place detergent packs in the dispenser. Using the Dispenser To add cleaning products to the automatic dispenser: 1 Open the dispenser drawer. 2 Load the laundry products into the appropriate compartments.

• 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. CAUTION

• Do not place or store laundry products, such as detergent, bleach, or liquid fabric softener, on top of your washer. These products can damage the washer’s finish and controls. 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 your washer.

• When using the Pre-wash option, liquid detergent for the main wash needs to be loaded in the liquid detergent cup accessory in the main wash dispenser (where applicable), to prevent it from being dispensed with the pre-wash detergent.

• The amount of detergent added for the Pre- wash option is 1/2 the amount recommended for the main wash cycle. For example, if the main wash cycle requires one measure of detergent, add 1/2 measure for the Pre-wash option. 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 (High- Efficiency) 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

• If the dispenser has a liquid detergent cup and insert: - Make sure they are in place when using liquid detergent. - Make sure to remove them when using powdered detergent. 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. Liquid Bleach Compartment This compartment holds liquid bleach, which is dispensed automatically at the proper time during 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. WARNING

• Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar or rust/scale remover. Mixing chemicals like these can produce a lethal gas, resulting in severe injury or death. NOTE

• Do not add powdered bleach to this compartment. The bleach compartment is designed to dispense liquid bleach only. Powdered or liquid color-safe bleach will not dispense properly.

• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding bleach. Never add more than one cup, and do not exceed the maximum fill line or the bleach may be dispensed immediately and damage fabrics. Using too much bleach can also damage fabrics.

• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load or into the drum. Fabric damage can occur.

• Do not use color-safe bleach or oxygen bleach in the same cycle with liquid chlorine bleach. Fabric Softener Compartment This compartment holds liquid fabric softener, which is automatically dispensed during the final rinse cycle. Either powdered or liquid fabric softener may be used.

If the washer does not function properly or does not function at all, check the following before you call for service. FAQs Error Messages Q: Why does my washer make loud banging noises while it is filling with water? A: This is actually a problem with the plumbing in your home. When the water valve in the washer shuts off, it can cause pipes in your home to move, resulting in a loud banging noise. This effect, called water hammer, can be reduced by installing an item called a water hammer arrestor. Add-on arrestors can be purchased through your local hardware or home improvement store.Q: Why is there so little water in my washer? How can it clean the clothes? A: HE (High-Efficiency) washers are designed to properly wash your laundry while using a minimum amount of water and energy. Because the water volume is low, the small amount of detergent used is more concentrated in the water, resulting in excellent cleaning performance.Q: When I press a button, why does my washer beep and then nothing happens? A: The Control Lock feature is turned on. To turn it off, turn on the washer, then press and hold the button that has Control Lock on or under it for 3 seconds. Q: Where should I pour the powdered laundry products when doing my laundry? A: If you are using powdered laundry detergent, load it in the main detergent dispenser after removing the liquid detergent insert. Powdered laundry agents or powdered color safe bleach should be put directly into the drum. These products can be put in the empty drum before loading or on top of the laundry after loading the washer.Problem Possible Cause & Solution INLET ERRORWater supply faucets are not fully open.• Make sure that the water faucets are fully open.Water inlet hoses are kinked, pinched, or crushed.• Make sure that the hoses are not kinked, pinched or crushed behind or under the washer.

• Contact a plumber to repair drain pipe. Drain hose has come out of the drain connector or is not inserted far enough.

• Tie drain hose to inlet hose or standpipe to prevent it from coming out during drain.

• For smaller drain pipes, insert the drain hose into the pipe as far as the drain hose flange. For larger drain pipes, insert the drain hose into the pipe 1 - 2 inches past the flange. Oversudsing of detergent

• Oversudsing may create leaks, and may be caused by the type and amount of detergent used. HE (High-Efficiency) detergent is the only detergent recommended. The normal amount of detergent to use is 1/4 to 1/2 of the maximum amount recommended by the detergent manufacturer.

• Always reduce the amount of detergent if the load is small or lightly soiled, or if the water is very soft.

• Never use more than the maximum amount recommended by the detergent manufacturer. Excessive sudsing Too much detergent or incorrect detergent

• HE detergents are formulated specifically for HE (High-Efficiency) washers and contain suds reducing agents. Only use detergent with the HE (High-Efficiency) logo.

• For detergent quantities refer to Detergent Use in OPERATION. If sudsing or detergent residue continues to be an issue, add an extra rinse. Washer will not turn on. Power cord is not properly plugged in.

• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified election. Wash cycle time is longer than usual. The washer automatically adjusts the wash time for the amount of laundry, water pressure and other operating conditions.

• This is normal. The washer adjusts cycle time automatically to provide optimal results for the selected cycle. The time remaining shown in the display is only an estimate. Actual time may vary. Problem Possible Cause & Solution45TROUBLESHOOTING ENGLISH Incomplete or no dispensing of detergent Detergent compartments clogged from incorrect filling.

• Make sure that detergent and additives are put into the correct dispenser compartments.

• For all detergent types, always make sure that the dispenser drawer is fully closed before the start of the cycle. Too much detergent used.

• Make sure that the suggested amount of detergent is used according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. You may also dilute the detergent with water to the maximum fill line on the compartment to avoid clogging. Use only HE (High-Efficiency) detergent. NOTE

• Always use as little detergent as possible. HE (High-Efficiency) washers need very little detergent to achieve optimum results. Using too much detergent will cause poor wash and rinse performance and may contribute to odors in the washer. Insufficient water supply

• Make sure that both hot and cold water faucets are turned on all the way. Normal residue

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. 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 administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and will be conducted before a single arbitrator under the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (referred to as the “AAA Rules”) and under the procedures set forth in this section. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org/consumer. Send a copy of your written demand for arbitration, as well as a copy of this provision, to the AAA in the manner described in the AAA Rules. You must also send a copy of your written demand to LG at LG Electronics, USA, Inc. Attn: Legal Department-Arbitration 111 Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632. If there is a conflict between the AAA Rules and the rules set forth in this section, the rules set forth in this section will govern. This arbitration provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. 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 state of your residence shall govern this Limited Warranty and any disputes between us except to the extent that such law is preempted by or inconsistent with applicable federal law. 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 to the AAA unless you seek more than $25,000 in damages, in which case the payment of these fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Except as otherwise provided for herein, LG will pay all AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the AAA 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 standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all arbitration fees will be governed by the AAA 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 AAA 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 on the basis of (1) documents submitted to the arbitrator, (2) through a telephonic hearing, or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $25,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Any in-person arbitration hearings will be held at a location within the federal judicial district in which you reside unless we both agree to another location or we agree to a telephonic arbitration. 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.

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 attorn to the exclusive jurisdiction of the55LIMITED WARRANTY ENGLISH 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 optout@lge.com, 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 attorn 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 (“EULA”) 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.56 MemoMANUAL DEL PROPIETARIO LAVADORA Lea el manual del propietario detenidamente previo a operar el electrodoméstico y mantengalo al alcance para futuras referencias. www.lg.com Copyright © 2020 LG Electronics Inc.

• Place the dryer at least 18 inches above the floor for a garage installation.

• Do not use sheet metal screws or other fasteners which extend into the duct that could catch lint and reduce the efficiency of the exhaust system. Secure all joints with duct tape.

• Use only rigid, semi-rigid or flexible metal 4-inch diameter duct inside the dryer cabinet or for exhausting to the outside. Use of plastic or other combustible ductwork may cause a fire. Punctured ductwork may cause a fire if it collapses or becomes otherwise restricted in use or during installation.

• The exhaust duct must be 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter with no obstructions. The exhaust duct should be kept as short as possible. Make sure to clean any old ducts before installing your new dryer.

• Rigid, semi-rigid or flexible metal ducting is recommended for use between the dryer and the wall. All non- rigid metal transition duct must be UL-listed. Use of other materials for transition duct could affect drying time.

• Ductwork is not provided with the dryer, and you should obtain the necessary ductwork locally. The end cap should have hinged dampers to prevent backdraft when the dryer is not in use.

• Gas dryers MUST be exhausted to the outside.

• The dryer exhaust system must be exhausted to the outside of the dwelling. If the dryer is not exhausted outdoors, some fine lint and large amounts of moisture will be expelled into the laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any area of the home may create a health and fire hazard.

• Do not install near another heat source such as a stove, oven or heater.

• Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.

• The appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by a utility. OPERATION

Q: Why does my dryer take so long to dry clothes? A: Proper airflow is critical to the efficient operation of clothes dryers. A lint filter which is full of lint or clogged with fabric softener sheet residue can reduce the airflow to the point that the time required to dry clothing will be greatly increased. Another factor affecting dry time is your home exhaust system. An exhaust system which is dirty and clogged with lint, or is excessively long, needs to be professionally cleaned or repaired. Q: Why does my dryer start by itself every few minutes? A: This is how the Wrinkle Care feature works. The dryer runs briefly every few minutes for up to 3 hours after the cycle finishes. This feature is designed to help prevent wrinkles from setting in when the dryer is not unloaded immediately after the cycle is finished. Q: Why does my dryer show 3 minutes when I select the Steam Fresh™ cycle? A: When the Steam Fresh™ cycle is selected, the dryer displays the recommended number of garments for the cycle, not the estimated cycle time, until the cycle is started. Use the More Time or Less Time buttons to adjust the load size setting for the number of garments you desire. For a large load or single bulky item use the (big) setting.

If the dryer does not function properly or does not function at all, check the following before you call for service. Operation Problem Possible Cause Solutions The Flow Sense™ indicator remains active after clearing the restriction in the venting. After clearing the restriction, the Flow Sense™ system requires multiple, consecutive cycles to determine that the performance value has improved before the Flow Sense™ indicator is reset.

• If the Flow Sense™ indicator remains active for more than five cycles after the restriction has been cleared, call for service. Dryer will not turn

Power cord is not properly plugged in.

• Make sure that the plug is securely plugged into a grounded outlet matching the dryer’s rating plate. House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred.

• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician. Dryer does not heat House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred.

• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.

• NOTE: Due to the design of electric dryers, it is possible for a circuit problem to allow an electric dryer to run without heat. Gas supply or service is turned off.

• Confirm that the house gas shutoff and the dryer gas shutoff valves are both fully open. Even if gas is not supplied to the dryer, it will run and no error codes will display. Verify that other gas appliances in the home are working normally. ENERGY SAVER option selected (on some models)

• If using the Normal cycle, deselect the ENERGY SAVER option. The Energy Saver option is selected by default. This option reduces energy use by adding an air dry section to the beginning of the cycle. It is normal to feel no heat at the beginning of the cycle while in ENERGY SAVER mode. Clothes take too long to dry Exhaust ducts are blocked, dirty, or duct run is too long.

• Confirm that the exhaust duct is properly configured and free of debris, lint, and obstructions. Make sure that outside wall dampers can open properly and are not blocked, jammed, or damaged. Load is not properly sorted.

• Separate heavy items from lightweight items. Larger and heavier items take longer to dry. Light items in a load with heavy items can fool the sensor because the light items dry faster. Display shows error code nP Electric dryer power cord is not connected correctly, or house power supply is incorrect.

• Check the power supply or the connection of the power cord to the terminal block. Display shows error code gAS Gas supply or service turned off (gas models only).

• Confirm that house gas shutoff and the dryer gas shutoff are both fully open.51TROUBLESHOOTING ENGLISH Problem Possible Cause Solutions Clothes take too long to dry Large load of heavy fabrics.

• Heavy fabrics take longer to dry because they tend to retain more moisture. To help reduce and maintain more consistent drying times for large and heavy fabrics, separate these items into smaller loads of a consistent size. Dryer controls are not set properly.

• Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load you are drying. Some loads may require an adjustment of the dry level setting for proper drying. Lint filter needs to be cleaned.

• Remove the lint from the filter before every load. With the lint removed, hold the filter up to a light to see if it is dirty or clogged. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, such as new bath towels, it may be necessary to pause the cycle and clean the filter during the cycle. House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred.

• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.

• NOTE: Due to the design of electric dryers, it is possible for a circuit problem to allow an electric dryer to run without heat. Dryer is overloaded.

• Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for better drying performance and efficiency. Dryer is underloaded.

• If you are drying a very small load, add a few extra items to ensure proper tumbling action. If the load is very small and you are using SENSOR DRY cycles, the electronic control cannot properly sense the dryness of the load and may shut off too soon. Use TIME DRY or add some extra wet clothes to the load. ENERGY SAVER option selected (on some models)

• If using the Normal cycle, deselect the ENERGY SAVER option. This option reduces energy use by adding an air dry section to the beginning of the cycle. Drying time is not consistent Heat settings, load size, or dampness of clothing is not consistent.

• The drying time for a load will vary depending on the type of heat used (electric, natural gas, or LP gas), the size of the load, the type of fabrics, the wetness of the clothes, and the condition of the exhaust duct and lint filter. Even an unbalanced load in the washer can cause poor spinning, resulting in wetter clothes which will take longer to dry.52 TROUBLESHOOTING Performance Problem Possible Cause Solutions Greasy or dirty spots on clothes Fabric softener used incorrectly.

• Confirm and follow the instructions provided with your fabric softener. Clean and dirty clothes are being dried together.

• Use your dryer to dry only clean items. Soil from dirty clothes can transfer to the clean clothes in the same or later loads. Clothes were not properly cleaned or rinsed before being placed in the dryer.

• Stains on dried clothes could be stains that were not removed during the washing process. Make sure that clothes are being completely cleaned or rinsed according to the instructions for your washer and detergent. Some difficult soils may require pre-treating prior to washing. Clothes are wrinkled Clothes dried too long (over dried).

• Over drying a load of laundry can lead to wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter drying time or LESS DRY setting and remove items while they still retain a slight amount of moisture. Clothes left in dryer too long after cycle ends.

• Use the WRINKLE CARE option. This feature will tumble the clothes briefly every few minutes for up to 3 hours to help prevent wrinkling. Clothes are shrinking Garment care instructions are not being followed.

• To avoid shrinking your clothes, always consult and follow fabric care instructions. Some fabrics will naturally shrink when washed. Other fabrics can be washed but will shrink when dried in a dryer. Use a low or no heat setting. Lint on clothes Lint filter not cleaned properly.

• Remove the lint from the filter before every load. With the lint removed, hold the filter up to a light to see if it is dirty or clogged. If it looks dirty, follow the cleaning instructions. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the filter during the cycle. Laundry not sorted properly.

• Some fabrics are lint producers (i.e., a fuzzy white cotton towel) and should be dried separately from clothes that are lint trappers (i.e., a pair of black linen pants). Excess static in clothes.

• Use a fabric softener to reduce static electricity. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a buildup of static electricity. Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time, or use SENSOR DRY cycles. Dryer is overloaded. • Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for drying. Tissue, paper, etc., left in pockets.

• Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying clothes.53TROUBLESHOOTING ENGLISH Problem Possible Cause Solutions Excess static in clothes after drying Fabric softener is not used or used incorrectly.

• Use a fabric softener or the REDUCE STATIC option, if equipped, to reduce static electricity. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Clothes dried too long (overdried).

• Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a buildup of static electricity. Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time, or use MANUAL DRY cycles. Select a LESS DRY setting on SENSOR DRY cycles, if necessary. Drying synthetics, permanent press, or synthetic blends.

• These fabrics are naturally more prone to static buildup. Try using fabric softener, or use LESS DRY and/or shorter TIME DRY time settings. Clothes have damp spots after a Sensor Dry cycle. Very large load or very small load.Single large item such as a blanket or comforter.

• If items are too tightly packed or too sparse the sensor may have trouble reading the dryness level of the load. Use a TIME DRY cycle for very small loads.

• Large, bulky items such as blankets or comforters can sometimes wrap themselves into a tight ball of fabric. The outside layers will dry and register on the sensors, while the inner core remains damp. When drying a single bulky item, it may help to pause the cycle once or twice and rearrange the item to unwrap and expose any damp areas.

• To dry a few remaining damp items from a very large load or a few damp spots on a large item after a sensor cycle has completed, empty the lint trap, then set a TIME DRY cycle to finish drying the item(s). Trouble connecting appliance and smartphone to Wi- Fi network The password for the Wi- Fi network was entered incorrectly.

• Delete your home Wi-Fi network and begin the registration process again. Mobile data for your smartphone is turned on.

• Turn off the Mobile data on your smartphone before registering the appliance. The wireless network name (SSID) is set incorrectly.

• The wireless network name (SSID) should be a combination of English letters and numbers. (Do not use special characters.) The router frequency is not 2.4 GHz.

• Only a 2.4 GHz router frequency is supported. Set the wireless router to 2.4 GHz and connect the appliance to the wireless router. To check the router frequency, check with your Internet service provider or the router manufacturer. The appliance is too far from the router.

• If the appliance is too far from the router, the signal may be weak and the connection may not be configured correctly. Move the router closer to the appliance or purchase and install a Wi-Fi repeater.54 TROUBLESHOOTING Steam Functions (Steam Models) Problem Possible Cause Solutions Water drips from nozzle when STEAM CYCLE starts This is normal.

• This is steam condensation. The dripping water will stop after a short time. Garments still wrinkled after Steam Fresh™ Too many or overly different types of garments in dryer.

• Small loads of 1 to 5 items work best. Load fewer garments. Load similar types of garments. Creases or pleats are gone from garments after Steam Fresh™ The function of this cycle is to remove wrinkles from fabric.

• Use an iron to replace creases and pleats in garments. Garments have static after using the Reduce Static option This is normal.

• The amount of static experienced will depend on the individual moisture level in the skin. Garments are too damp or too dry after using the Reduce Static option Correct drying options not selected.

• Select the load weight manually before starting the Reduce Static option. Steam does not generate, but no error code is shown Water level error. • Unplug dryer and call for service. Water drips from door during STEAM CYCLE This is normal.

• Condensation will normally form on the inside of the dryer door during steam operation. Some condensation may drip out the bottom of the door. Steam is not visible during STEAM CYCLE This is normal.

• Steam vapor is difficult to see when the door is closed. However, condensation will normally form on the inside of the dryer door if the steam system is operating normally. Drum does not turn during STEAM CYCLE This is normal.

• The drum is turned off so that the steam vapor remains in the drum. The drum will normally turn for about 2 seconds once a minute. Cannot see steam vapor at the beginning of cycle This is normal.

• Steam is released at different stages of the cycle for each option. Odors remain in clothing after Steam Fresh™ Steam Fresh™ did not remove odor completely.

• Fabrics containing strong odors should be washed in a normal cycle.55TROUBLESHOOTING ENGLISH Error Codes Problem Possible Cause Solutions Error code: tE1 through tE7 Temperature sensor failure.

• Turn off the dryer and call for service. Display shows error code: PS Power cord is connected incorrectly.

• Check the connection of the power cord to the terminal block. *Flow Sense™ indicator shows four bars during the drying cycle or the display shows "d80" after drying

• This warning light is not a dryer failure and is not covered by the dryer warranty. Contact a duct cleaning service to set up an appointment to have your exhaust system cleaned and inspected. Exhaust system is too long or has too many turns/restrictions.

• Install a shorter or straighter duct run. See the Installation Instructions for details. Partial blockage of the ductwork due to lint buildup or other foreign object.

• Ductwork should be checked/cleaned immediately. Dryer can be used in this condition, but drying times will be longer and energy consumption will increase. The appliance has detected a restriction in the external dryer venting.

• If exhaust restrictions are sensed by the Flow Sense™ system, the indicator will remain on for 2 hours after the end of the cycle. Opening the door or pressing the Power button will turn off the display. The Flow Sense™ indicator remains active after clearing the restriction in the venting. After clearing the restriction, the Flow Sense™ system requires multiple, consecutive cycles to determine that the performance value has improved before the Flow Sense™ indicator is reset.

• If the Flow Sense™ indicator remains active for more than five cycles after the restriction has been cleared, call for service. The display shows More Time button was pressed.

• This display indicates that the steam option has been set for a “big” item such as a comforter. Press the LESS TIME button to reduce the indicated load size. The display shows The duct work is about 80% - 95% blocked. (“d80”, “d90” or “d95” error code is displayed for 2 hours only)

• Do not use the dryer until the exhaust system has been cleaned and/or repaired. Using the dryer with a severely restricted exhaust is dangerous and could result in a fire or other property damage. Check the outside dryer vent while the dryer is operating to make sure there is strong airflow. If the exhaust system is extremely long, have it repaired or rerouted. House exhaust system blocked.

• Keep the area around the dryer clean and free of clutter. Check vent hood for damage or lint clogging. Make sure the area around the vent hood is clear. Check Filter indicator is on during the drying cycle Lint filter not cleaned properly.

• Remove the lint from the filter before every load. With the lint removed, hold the filter up to a light to see if it is dirty or clogged. If it looks dirty, follow the cleaning instructions. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the filter during the cycle.56 WARRANTY WARRANTY ARBITRATION NOTICE: THIS LIMITED WARRANTY CONTAINS AN ARBITRATION PROVISION THAT REQUIRES YOU AND LG TO RESOLVE DISPUTES BY BINDING ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF IN COURT, UNLESS YOU CHOOSE TO OPT OUT.

BINDING ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU AND LG ARE EACH WAIVING 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 U.S.A., 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 LG at LG Electronics, USA, Inc. Attn: Legal Department- Arbitration 111 Sylvan Ave, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632. 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, either party may proceed to file a claim for arbitration. Agreement to Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. Upon failure to resolve the dispute during the 30 day period after sending written notice to LG, you and LG agree to resolve any claims between us only by binding arbitration on an individual basis, unless you opt out as provided below. 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, 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. 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 administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and will be conducted before a single arbitrator under the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (referred to as the “AAA Rules”) and under the procedures set forth in this section. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org/consumer. Send a copy of your written demand for arbitration, as well as a copy of this provision, to the AAA in the manner described in the AAA Rules. You must also send a copy of your written demand to LG at LG Electronics, USA, Inc. Attn: Legal Department- Arbitration 111 Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632. If there is a conflict between the AAA Rules and the rules set forth in this section, the rules set forth in this section will govern. This arbitration provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. 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 state of your residence shall govern this Limited Warranty and any disputes between us except to the extent that such law is preempted by or inconsistent with applicable federal law. 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 to the AAA unless you seek more than $25,000 in damages, in which case the payment of these fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Except as otherwise provided for herein, LG will pay all AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the AAA 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 standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all arbitration fees will be governed by the AAA 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 AAA 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.59WARRANTY ENGLISH Hearings and Location. If your claim is for $25,000 or less, you may choose to have the arbitration conducted solely on the basis of (1) documents submitted to the arbitrator, (2) through a telephonic hearing, or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $25,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Any in-person arbitration hearings will be held at a location within the federal judicial district in which you reside unless we both agree to another location or we agree to a telephonic arbitration. 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.
