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

• Do not overtighten the hoses.
Overtightening can damage the valves
resulting in leaking and property damage.
5
Check for leaks by turning on the faucets.
• For your safety, and for extended product
life, use only authorized components.
The manufacturer is not responsible for
product malfunction or accidents caused
by the use of separately purchased
unauthorized parts.
• Use new hoses when you install the
washing machine. Do not reuse old hoses.
Use only the inlet hoses provided with the
washer. LG does not recommend the use
of aftermarket hoses.
• Periodically check the hoses for cracks,
leaks and wear, and replace the hoses
every 5 years.
• Do not stretch the water hoses
intentionally, and make sure that they are
not crushed by other objects.
• Water supply pressure must be between
20 PSI and 120 PSI (138~827 kPa). If the
water supply pressure is more than 120
PSI, a pressure reducing valve must be
installed.
• To provide optimum washing performance
the hot water temperature should be set
at 120-135°F (48-57°C) and the cold at
60°F (15°C).
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
