INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CONNECTING THE WATER LINES
y LG recommends the use of LG hoses. Any leak-
ing, property damage, or damage to the washing
machine caused by an improper installation or by
the use of non-LG hoses is not covered under the
terms of the LG warranty and is the sole responsi-
bility of the customer and/or an installer.
y 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.
y Periodically check the hose for cracks, leaks, and
wear, and replace the hose if necessary.
y Make sure that the water lines are not stretched,
pinched, crushed, or kinked.
y 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 tem-
peratures prior to installation, allow it to stand at room
temperature for several hours before use and check for
leaks prior to operation.
NOTE: Do not use flood-preventing hoses with auto
shutoff devices. The devices can be tripped during
fill and prevent the machine from filling properly.
Rubber Seal
Water Hose
(to water inlet
on washer)
1. Inspect the threaded fitting on each hose and
make sure there is a rubber seal in place in both
ends of each hose.
Water Faucet
WARNING
y Do not reuse old hoses. Only use new hoses
when you install the washing machine. Old
hoses could leak or burst causing flooding and
property damage.

2. Connect the water supply hoses to the HOT and
COLD water faucets tightly by hand and then tight-
en another 2/3 turn with pliers.
WARNING
y Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling
can result.
3. Always run a gallon or two of water through each
inlet hose to flush dirt, scale and other debris out
of the water lines. Doing so will help prevent future
problems with clogged filter screens, and will also
allow you to verify which water line is hot and which
is cold.
Hot water inlet
WARNING
y Do not overtighten the hoses. Overtightening
can damage the valves resulting in leaking and
property damage.
4. Attach the hot water line to the hot water inlet on
the back of the washer. Attach the cold water line
to the cold water inlet on the back of the washer.
Tighten the fittings securely. Turn ON both fau-
cets all the way and check for leaks at both ends
of the hoses.
NOTE: Be careful not to cross-thread the hose fit-
tings. This will damage the valve and could result in
property damage from leaks.
