Drain hoseElbow bracket Use a tie strap to secure the drain hose in place.15PRODUCT OVERVIEW ENGLISH Leveling the Washer The drum of your new washer spins at very high speeds. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement, the oor must be a level, solid surface. NOTE

  • Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary to level the washer. Extending the leveling feet more than necessary can cause the washer to vibrate.
  • Before installing the washer, make sure that the oor 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 oor can contribute to excessive vibration and noise due to poor contact with the oor.

Position the washer in its nal location. Take special care not to pinch, strain, or crush the water and drain lines. If you have a carpenter's level, you can place it across the top of the washer. The slope beneath the washer should not exceed 1 inch, and all four leveling feet must rest rmly on the oor. Level1"

Adjust the lower leveling feet. Turn in one direction to raise the washer or the other direction to lower it. Raise Lower

Tighten the locknuts. Turn the locknuts counter-clockwise and tighten them when the washer is level. Lock nutTighten all 4 lock nuts securely

Recheck the washer’s levelness. Push or rock the top edges of the washer gently to make sure the washer does not rock. If the washer rocks, repeat steps 1-3. CAUTION

  • Using the washer without leveling it may cause excess vibration and noise, leading to a machine malfunction.
  • Extend the leveling feet only to level the washer. If you extend the leveling feet unnecessarily, it may cause abnormal vibration of the washer. 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.

Clean the oor to attach the non-skid pads. Use a dry rag to remove and clean foreign objects or moisture. If moisture remains, the non-skid pads may slip.

Adjust the level after placing the washer in the installation area.

Place the adhesive side of the non-skid pad on the oor. It is most effective to install the non-skid pads under the front leveling feet. If it is hard to place the pads under the front leveling feet, place them under the back leveling feet. This side upAdhesive side Remove backing

Recheck the washer’s levelness. Push or rock the top edges of the washer gently to make sure that the washer does not rock. If the washer rocks, level the washer again.16 PRODUCT OVERVIEW Connecting to the Power Supply The washer should be plugged into a 120-VAC, 60 Hz grounded 3-prong outlet. Plug in the washer. WARNING

Immediately remove your 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 your clothing. It is normal to not be able 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. To open the door in these circumstances, press Add Garments. To stop a cycle and drain the water completely, turn the power off, then on, and then press Rinse+Spin.18 OPERATION Sorting Laundry CAUTION
  • The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum should not be tightly packed with items. The door of the washer should close easily.
  • Use the Bedding cycle for buoyant or nonabsorbent items such as pillows or comforters. Failure to follow this caution can result in leakage.
  • Clothing or articles that are waterproof or water resistant must be washed in the Bedding cycle only. (e.g. water resistant clothing, mattress covers, outdoor clothes, plastic mats, etc.) Otherwise, it may result in personal injury or damage to the washer, clothes, walls, oor, and surrounding objects due to abnormal vibration.
  • Remove the stufng 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 oor. Grouping Similar Items For the best washing results, and to reduce the possibility of damage to clothing, care should be taken to sort the clothing into loads that are 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 together in a separate load 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 in a delicate load 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.) Sort Laundry By colors By Soil By Fabric By Lint White Heavy DelicatesLint ProducerLights Normal Easy CareLint CollectorDarks Light Sturdy Fabric Care Labels Many articles of clothing include a fabric care label.

  • Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items rst. Large items should not be more than half of 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.
  • Do not wash single small items. Add 1-2 similar items to the load to prevent an out-of-balance load.
  • 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.
  • Do not wash/spin waterproof items. Washing raincoats or sleeping bags may result in abnormal vibration or may cause the load to bounce, which could damage the drum.
  • Wash small, light items in a mesh bag. Items like underwear can get caught in the door seal, and a brassiere hook may damage other items or the drum.
  • 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.

- Load clothes loosely, and do not overll the drum. Clothes need room to circulate in order to get clean. - Do not press down on items while stacking them in the drum. Adding Cleaning Products Loading the Dispenser To add detergent, bleach, and fabric softener to the automatic dispenser.

Open the detergent dispenser drawer.

Load the laundry products into the appropriate compartments.

  • If using a liquid detergent, make sure the liquid detergent cup is in place.
  • If using a powdered detergent, remove the liquid detergent cup and put the powder in the main wash detergent compartment.
  • If using detergent pods, place the pod in the drum before loading the laundry. Do not place liquid or powdered detergent pods in the dispenser. Pre-washdetergentcompartmentLiquid detergent cup Liquid chlorine bleach compartmentMain wash detergent compartmentLiquid fabric softener compartment

Close the detergent dispenser drawer slowly before starting the cycle.

  • Slamming the detergent dispenser drawer may result in the detergent overowing 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.20 OPERATION IMPORTANT:
  • Do not place or store laundry products, such as detergent, bleach, or liquid fabric softener, on top of your washer or dryer. Wipe up any spills immediately. These products can damage the machine's nish and controls. Pre-Wash Detergent Compartment Add liquid or powdered detergent to this compartment when using the Pre-Wash option. Always use HE (High-Efciency) 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, 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-Efciency) detergent with your washer. NOTE
  • Never exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding detergent. 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.
  • When using liquid detergent, make sure the liquid detergent cup and insert are in place. Do not exceed the maximum ll line.
  • When using powdered detergent, remove the insert and liquid detergent cup from the compartment. 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 may clog on 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.
  • Do not add powdered bleach to this compartment. The bleach compartment is designed to dispense liquid chlorine bleach only. Powdered or liquid color- safe bleach will not dispense properly.
  • Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations when adding bleach. Never add more than one cup and do not exceed the maximum ll line since this can cause the bleach to be dispensed immediately, resulting in damage to fabrics. 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.
  • Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in the same cycle with liquid chlorine 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.21OPERATION ENGLISH Fabric Softener Compartment This compartment holds liquid fabric softener, which is automatically dispensed during the nal rinse cycle. Do not exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding softener. Using too much fabric softener can result in buildup in clothing and the washer. Either powdered or liquid fabric softener may be used.
  • Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding fabric softener. Do not exceed the maximum ll line. Using too much fabric softener may stain clothes.
  • Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm water. Do not exceed the maximum ll line.
  • Never pour fabric softener directly onto the load or into the drum. Detergent Use This washer is designed for use with only HE (High- Efciency) detergents. HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more efciently 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 machine damage. Designed specially to use only HE (High-Efciency) detergent
  • 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.
  • 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 machine.
  • Use extra care when measuring 2X and 3X concentrated detergents because even a small amount extra can lead to problems.
  • Detergents designated as HE-compatible may not provide optimal results.
  • Do not use more than one detergent pod 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, press the Extra Rinse button.

Liquid detergent Maximum Normal Load Amount Powdered detergent Detergent Pods Place liquid or powdered detergent pods in the drum before loading laundry. Do not place pods in the dispenser.22 OPERATION Control Panel

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-Efciency) 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 off Control Lock, turn the washer on, then press and hold the button that has "*Control Lock" on or under it for three seconds.

  • Power or Signal is off. Q: Where should I pour 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 tub. These products can be put in the empty tub before loading or on top of the laundry after loading the machine.41TROUBLESHOOTING ENGLISH Before Calling for Service The washer is equipped with an automatic error-monitoring system to detect and diagnose problems at an early stage. If the washer does not function properly or does not function at all, check the following before you call for service. Noises You Might Hear Noise Possible Cause Solutions Spraying or Hissing Water spraying or circulating during the cycle.
  • Normal Operation Humming or Gurgling Drain pump is pumping water from the washer at times during a cycle.

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 1000 Sylvan Avenue Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632. If there is a conict 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 ling 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 ling, 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 nds 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.

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).

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.

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 ling 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 ling, 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 nds 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.
