Overtightening or cross-threading F 24'' (60 cm)G1/4'' (0.5 cm)Dimensions and Clearances us_main.book.book Page 11 Thursday, February 25, 2021 1:28 PM12 INSTALLATION can damage the valves or couplings, resulting in leaking and property damage.

• Do not reuse old hoses. Use only new hoses when installing the washer. Old hoses could leak or burst causing flooding and property damage. Contact an LG Customer Information Center for assistance in buying hoses. NOTE

• 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 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.

• 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.

Leveling the Washer The drum of the washer spins at very high speeds. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must be a solid, level surface. CAUTION

• Using the washer without leveling it may cause excess vibration and noise, leading to a washer malfunction.

• 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. NOTE

• Before installing the washer, make sure that the floor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oil so the washer feet cannot slide easily. Feet that move or slide on the floor can contribute to excessive vibration and noise. How to Level the Washer 1 Position the washer in its final location.

• Take special care not to pinch, strain, or crush the water and drain hoses. If you have a carpenter’s level a, you can use it to check that the washer is level. The slope beneath the washer should not exceed 1 inch, and all 4 leveling feet must rest firmly on the floor. 2 Adjust the leveling feet.

• Turn all 4 leveling feet in one direction to raise the washer or the other direction to lower it. 3 Check the level again.

• Push or rock the top edges of the washer gently to make sure the washer does not rock. If the washer rocks, readjust the leveling feet. 4 Tighten the locknuts b

• Turn the locknuts counterclockwise and tighten them when the washer is level. Using Non-Skid Pads If you install the washer on a slippery surface, it may move because of excessive vibration. Incorrect leveling may cause malfunction through noise and vibration. If this occurs, install the non- skid pads under the leveling feet and adjust the level. us_main.book.book Page 14 Thursday, February 25, 2021 1:28 PM15INSTALLATION ENGLISH 1 Clean the floor to attach the non-skid pads.

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

• 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 locks and cannot be opened. 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 Producerus_main.book.book Page 18 Thursday, February 25, 2021 1:28 PM19OPERATION 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.

• 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 / Gel or Tablet Detergents Place liquid or powdered detergent packs, or gel or tablet detergents in the drum before loading laundry. Do not place these detergents 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.

• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding cleaning products. us_main.book.book Page 20 Thursday, February 25, 2021 1:28 PM21OPERATION ENGLISH a Main wash detergent compartment b Liquid fabric softener compartment c Pre-wash detergent compartment 3 Gently close the detergent dispenser drawer before starting the cycle.

• Slamming the drawer closed may result in the detergent overflowing into another compartment or dispensing into the drum earlier than programmed.

• Be careful not to get a hand caught in the drawer while closing.

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

• When using powdered detergent, remove the insert and liquid detergent cup from the dispenser. Powdered detergent will not dispense with the liquid detergent cup and insert in place.

• If you use a detergent that does not dissolve easily or a detergent with high viscosity, it will leave a residue and clog the dispenser. Fabric Softener Compartment This compartment holds fabric softener, which is automatically dispensed during the final rinse cycle. Either powdered or liquid fabric softener may be used.

• Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too much fabric softener may stain clothes or cause buildup on fabrics or in the washer.

• Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm water.

• Never pour fabric softener directly onto the load or into the drum. 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. us_main.book.book Page 21 Thursday, February 25, 2021 1:28 PM22 OPERATION Control Panel Control Panel Features a Power On/Off Button

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.

• Adjust household water supply regulator to a lower pressure or contact a plumber. us_main.book.book Page 43 Thursday, February 25, 2021 1:28 PM44 TROUBLESHOOTING Operation Problem Possible Cause & Solution Water Leaking Hoses are not connected correctly.

• Check hoses and connectors for leaks, cracks, and splits.

• Check and tighten hose connections. House drain pipes are clogged.

• The washer pumps out water very rapidly. Check for water backing up out of the drain pipe during drain. If water is seen coming out of the drain, check for proper drain hose installation and check for restrictions in the drain.

• 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.

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.

Fees/Costs. You do not need to pay any fee to begin an arbitration.

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.
