r@ NOTE
* 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.

sure that they are not crushed by other objects.
* Water supply pressure must be between
14.5 psi and
116 psi (100N800 kPa). If the water supply pressure is
more than 116 psi, a pressure reducing valve must be
installed.

water temperature
should be set at t20-t35°F
(48-57°C)
and the cold at 60°F (15°C).
