pling can result.

and check the water temperature.

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 intentional-
ly, and make sure that they are not crushed
by other objects.
• Water supply pressure must be between
1,0 kgf/cm² and 8,0 kgf/cm² (0,1~0,8 MPa).
If the water supply pressure is more than
8,0 kgf/cm², 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
- Connect the blue hose to the cold water
inlet and the red hose to the hot water
inlet.
