LG 27 Inch Electric Smart Dryer Owners Guide - Manual (Page 26)

26 INSTALLATION
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.
CAUTION
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not store or install the appliance in a location
subject to freezing temperatures. Damage to the
water inlet hoses and internal mechanisms of
the appliance can result. If the appliance was
exposed to freezing temperatures prior to
installation, allow it to stand at room
temperature for several hours before use and
check for leaks prior to operation.
• Do not use flood-preventing hoses with auto
shut off devices. The devices can be tripped
during fill and prevent the appliance from filling
properly.
How to Connect the Water Inlet
Hoses
1
Check the fittings and seals. Inspect the
threaded fitting on each hose and make sure
there is a rubber seal a in place in both ends
of each hose to prevent leaking.
2
Check the type of installation and connect the
hose to the faucet. Connect all water supply
hoses tightly by hand and then tighten
another 2/3 turn with pliers.
• Type 1 : WITHOUT WASHER (The dryer does
not share the faucet with the washing
machine.)
1) Connect the straight end of the long
hose b to the cold water faucet.
• Type 2 : WITH WASHER (The dryer shares
the faucet with the washing machine.)
1) Shut off the cold water tap and remove
the washer inlet hose.
2) Connect the short hose c to the Y-
connector d using one of the rubber
seals.
3) Connect the other end of the short hose
c to the cold water faucet.
4) Connect the long dryer hose b to one
side of the Y-connector d . Connect the
washer hose to the washer and the
other side of the Y-connector d .
NOTE
• Before connecting the water line to the dryer,
flush several gallons of water into a drain or
bucket. This will help prevent foreign particles
