• Water supply pressure must be between
14.5 and 116 psi(100~800 kPa).
• Do not crossthread when connecting inlet hose to the
valve.
• If the water supply pressure is more than 116 psi,
a pressure reducing device should be installed.
• Two Sealing washers are supplied with the water inlet
hoses to prevent water leaks.
• Check for leakage of washing machine connections by
turning the tap completely on.
• Periodically check the condition of the hose and replace
the hose if necessary.
• Make sure that there is no kink in the hose and that it is
not crushed.
• Be sure that the two water input ports are connected to
the correct water faucets. The connector for hot water is
colored red.
• Use ONLY the inlet hoses provided by LG with this
laundry product. Aftermarket hoses are not guaranteed to
fit or function correctly. Other hoses may not tighten
correctly and couldcause leaks. Subsequent damage to

LG's warranty.
Connecting water supply hose
NOTE: Washing Machine is to be connected to the water mains using new hoses.
Old hoses should not be used.
Electrical connection
• Do not use an extension cord or double adapter.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
• If the machine will not be used for an extended time, unplug it and shut off the water supply.
• Connect the machine to a grounded outlet in accordance with current wiring regulations.
• The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is easily accessible.
Repairs to the washing machine must only be carried out by qualified personnel. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact your local service center.
Do not install your washing machine in a room where temperatures below freezing may occur.
Frozen hoses may burst under pressure. The reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired
at temperatures below the freezing point.
If the appliance is delivered in the winter months and temperatures are below freezing,
store the washing machine at room temperature for a few hours before putting it into operation.
! CAUTION! Concerning the Power Cord
Most appliances recommend they be placed upon a dedicated circuit; that is, a single outlet circuit which powers only that
appliance and has no additional outlets or branch circuits. Check the specification page of this owner's manual to be
certain.
Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords,
or damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these conditions could result in electric shock or fire.
Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it,
discontinue use of the appliance, and have the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized servicer.
Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or
walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits the appliance.
