CONNECTING THE WATER LINES
• IMPORTANT: Use new hoses when installing
the washer. Do NOT reuse old hoses.
• IMPORTANT: Use ONLY the inlet hoses
provided by LG with this laundry product.
Aftermarket hoses are not guaranteed to fit or
function correctly. Other hoses may not tighten
correctly and could cause leaks. Subsequent
damage to product or property will not be
covered under the terms of LG's warranty.
• Water supply pressure must be between
14.5 PSI and 116 PSI (100~800 kPa). If the
water supply pressure is more than 116 PSI,
a pressure reducing valve must be installed.
• Periodically check the hose for cracks, leaks,
and wear, and replace the hose if necessary.
• Make sure that the water lines are not stretched,
pinched, crushed, or kinked.
• The washer should never be installed or stored
in a location subject to freezing temperatures.
Damage to the water lines 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.
