Hoses
How to Connect the Water Inlet
Hoses
To avoid the risk of costly water damage, purchase
and install new water inlet hoses when installing
the appliance.
WARNING
• Do not overtighten the hoses or cross-thread the
hose fittings. Overtightening or cross-threading
can damage the valves or couplings, resulting in
leaking and property damage.
• Do not reuse old hoses. Use only new hoses
when installing the appliance. Old hoses could
leak or burst causing flooding and property
damage. Contact an LG Customer Information
Center for assistance in buying hoses.
NOTE
• Periodically check the hoses for cracks, leaks,
and wear, and replace the hoses every five years.
• Do not stretch the water hoses intentionally, and
make sure that they are not pinched, crushed or
kinked by other objects.
