• 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 psiand 120 psi (138 – 827 kPa). If the water supply pressure is more than 120 psi, a pressure reducing valve must be installed.•
• Your hot water heater should be set to deliver water at 120–135 °F (48–57 °C) to allow the washer to properly control wash temperatures.
• Do not store or install the washer in a location subject to freezing temperatures.
• Damage to the water inlet hoses and internal mechanisms of the washer can result. If the washer 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 washer 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 1 in place in both ends of each hose to prevent leaking.
2. Connect the water supply hoses.•

• Connect the water inlet hoses to the hot and cold water faucets tightly by hand and then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers.•
• Connect the blue hose to the cold water faucet and the red hose to the hot water  faucet.

3. Flush out the inlet hoses.•
After the hoses are connected, turn on the water faucets and flush out any foreign substances such as dirt, sand, or sawdust.
Let the water drain into a bucket, and check the water temperature to make sure you’ve connected the hoses to the correct faucets
4. Attach the inlet hoses to the back of the washer.•
Attach the hot water inlet hose to the hot water inlet on the back of the washer.Attach the cold water inlet hose to the cold water inlet on the back of the washer.•
Tighten the fittings securely. Turn on both faucets all the way and check for leaks at both ends of the hoses.

Connect the drain hose to either a standpipe or laundry tub.

WARNING•

• The drain hose should always be properly secured. Failure to properly secure the drain hose can result in flooding and property damage.

NOTE•

• The drain must be installed in accordance with any applicable local codes and regulations.
• • Make sure that the drain hose is not stretched,pinched, crushed, or kinked.•
• The end of the drain hose should be located aminimum of 24″ (61 cm) and a maximum of 96″(244 cm) above the bottom of the washer.
• • For best results, locate the end of the drain hose no higher than 66″ (168 cm) above the bottom of the washer. As the drain outlet is raised beyond 66″ (168 cm), the drain function will be increasingly affected.•
• Never create an airtight seal between the hose and the drain with tape or other means. If no air gap is present, water can be siphoned out of the drum resulting in poor wash/rinse performance or clothing damage.

Using a Standpipe to Drain

1. Clip the end of the hose into the elbow bracket.•
   Connect the elbow bracket 1 within 4 inches (10 cm) of the end of the drain hose.If the drain hose is extended more than 4inches (10 cm) beyond the end of the elbow bracket, mold or microorganisms could spread to the inside of the washer.

2. Insert the end of the drain hose into the standpipe.

3. Use the provided tie strap 3 to secure the drain hose in place.

4. If the water valves and drain are built into the wall, fasten the drain hose to one of the water hoses with the provided tie strap 3 (ribbed side on inside).

Using the Laundry Tub to Drain

1. Clip the end of the hose into the elbow bracket.•
   Connect the elbow bracket a within 4inches (10 cm) of the end of the drain hose.If the drain hose is extended more than 4inches (10 cm) beyond the end of the elbow bracket, mold or microorganisms could spread to the inside of the washer.
   

2. Hang the end of the drain hose over the side of the laundry tub.

3. Use the provided tie strap to secure the drain hose in place

Leveling the Washer
The drum of the washer spins at very high speeds.
To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must be a solid, level surface.
CAUTION•

• Using the washer without leveling it may cause excess vibration and noise, leading to a washer malfunction.•
• Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary to level the washer. Extending the leveling feet more than necessary can cause the washer to vibrate.

NOTE•

• Before installing the washer, make sure that the floor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oil so the washer feet cannot slide easily.Feet that move or slide on the floor can contribute to excessive vibration and noise.

How to Level the Washer

1. Position the washer in its final location.•
   Take special care not to pinch, strain, or crush the water and drain hoses. If you have a carpenter’s level 1, you can use it to check that the washer is level. The slop ebeneath the washer should not exceed 1inch, and all 4 leveling feet must rest firm lyon the floor.

2. Adjust the leveling feet.•
   Turn all 4 leveling feet in one direction to raise the washer or the other direction to lower it.

3. Check the level again.•
   Push or rock the top edges of the washer gently to make sure the washer does not rock. If the washer rocks, readjust the leveling feet.

4. Tighten the lock nuts 2
   Turn the lock nuts counterclockwise and tighten them when the washer is level.

Using Non-Skid Pads
If you install the washer on a slippery surface, it may move because of excessive vibration.
Incorrect leveling may cause malfunction through noise and vibration. If this occurs, install the non-skid pads under the leveling feet and adjust the level.

1. Clean the floor to attach the non-skid pads.
   Use a dry rag to remove and clean foreign objects or moisture. If moisture remains, the non-skid pads may slip.

2. Adjust the level after placing the washer in the installation area.

3. Place the adhesive side 3 of the non-skid pad on the floor.•
   It is most effective to install the non-skid pads under the front leveling feet. If it is hard to place the pads under the front leveling feet, place them under the back leveling feet.
   1. This side up
   2. Remove backing

4. Recheck the washer’s levelness.•
   Push or rock the top edges of the washer gently to make sure the washer does not rock. If the washer rocks, level the washer again.

To stop a cycle and drain the water completely, turn the power off, then on, and then select Quick Wash.

Loading the Washer

General Tips

• Check and empty pockets. Paper clips, coins, matches, and other items can damage clothing and the washer.

• Close zippers and hooks, and tie drawstrings to prevent snagging or tangling of clothes.

• Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results.

• Brush off heavy soil, dust, and hair from items before washing. Excess dirt or sand can abrade other fabrics and lead to poor wash performance.

• For best performance, load clothes as shown.
  – Do not press down on items while stacking them in the drum.
  – Load clothes loosely, and do not overfill the drum. Clothes need room to circulate in order to get clean.

• Combine large and small items in the drum. Load large items first. Large items should not be more than half of the total load.

• The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum should not be tightly packed with items. The door of the washer must close easily.

• The washer will not fill or operate with the door open.

CAUTION

• Clothing or articles that are waterproof or water-resistant must be washed in the Waterproof, Bedding, Bulky/Large, or Jumbo Wash cycle only. (Examples include water resistant clothing, mattress covers, outdoor clothes, and plastic mats.) Failure to do so may result in personal Injury or damage to the washer, clothes, walls, floor, and surrounding objects due to abnormal vibration.

Bulky Items

• Wash thick, bulky items individually. Heavy blankets, comforters, bedspreads, or pet beds can get tangled or cause an unbalanced load if combined with other items.

Small Items

• Do not wash a single small item. Add enough similar items to the load to prevent an out-of-balance load. Wash small, light items in a mesh bag. Small items can get caught in the impeller at the bottom of the drum, and brassiere hooks can snag on other clothing or the drum.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Before Calling for Service
The washer is equipped with an automatic error-monitoring system to detect and diagnose problems at an earty stage. If the washer does not function properly or does not function at all, check the following before you call for service.
FAQs

Q: Why does my washer make loud banging noises while it is filling with water?****

– A: This is actually a problem with the plumbing in your home. When the water valve in the washer shuts off, it can cause pipes in your home to move, resulting in a loud banging noise. This effect. called water hammer, can be reduced by installing an item called a water hammer arrestor. Add-on arrestors can be purchased through your local hardware or home improvement store.

Q: Why is there so little water in my washer? How can it clean the clothes?****

– A: HE (High-Efficiency) washers are designed to properly wash your laundry while using a minimum amount of water and energy. Because the water volume is low, the small amount of detergent used is more concentrated in the water, resulting in excellent cleaning performance.

Q: When I press a button, why does my washer beep and then nothing happens?****

– A: The Control Lock feature is turned on. To turn it off, press the Options button, turn the knob to select Control Lock, and press the ~“(OK) button. Select Off and press the (OK) button.

Q: Where should I pour powdered laundry products when doing my laundry?****

– A: If you are using powdered laundry detergent, load it in the manual detergent dispenser after removing the liquid detergent insert (where applicable). Powdered laundry agents or powdered color safe bleach should be put directly into the drum. These products can be put in the empty drum before loading or on top of the laundry after loading the washer.

Q: When should I change the default ezDispense amounts?****

– A: If you simply want to use a bit more or less detergent for a single load, press the Options button and select Detergent Level or Softener Level to adjust the level for that load. If you are using a highly concentrated detergent or would just like to use more or less detergent or softener for every load, see the instructions in the Defautt Det. Dispense or Defautt Soft. Dispense under Additional Settings.

Q: How do I calculate the correct default amount for my detergent?****

– A: Use the information on the detergent packaging. Divide the total number of fluid ounces in the container by the estimated number of loads for a medium or normal wash load. For example, if the bottle contains 100 fl. oz. and the package states that it washes 64 medium loads then 100/64 = 1.6 fl 0z per load. If you generally use about half the manufacturer’s recommended amount, set the default to 0.8 fl oz. Do not set the ezDispense default for more than the maximum recommended amount {for full loads). For additional assistance calculating, use the LG ThinQ app.

Q: How do Luse a special detergent for sportswear or hand washables?****

– A: Turn off the ezDispense function and use the manual dispenser.

Q: Can use powdered detergent in the ezDispense reservoirs?****

– A: Use the manual dispenser for powdered detergents. Do not put powders in the ezDispense reservoirs.

PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES:
ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND LG ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANYWAY TO THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR THE PRODUCT SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION, AND NOT IN A COURT OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. BINDING ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU AND LG ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Definitions. For the purposes of this section, references to “LG” mean LG Electronics U.S.A., Inc., its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their officers, directors, employees, agents, beneficiaries, predecessors in interest, successors, assigns and suppliers; references to “dispute” or “claim” shall include any dispute, claim or controversy of any kind whatsoever (whether based in contract, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal or equitable theory) arising out of or relating in any way to the sale, condition or performance of the product or this Limited Warranty.
Notice of Dispute. In the event you intend to commence an arbitration proceeding, you must first notify LG in writing at least 30 days in advance of initiating the arbitration by sending a letter to LG at LG Electronics, USA, Inc. Attn: Legal Department-Arbitration 111 Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632. You and LG agree to engage in good faith discussions in an attempt to amicably resolve your claim. The notice must provide your name, address, and telephone number; identify the product that is the subject of the claim; and describe the nature of the claim and the relief being sought. If you and LG are unable to resolve the dispute within 30 days, either party may proceed to file a claim for arbitration.
Agreement to Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. Upon failure to resolve the dispute during the 30 day period after sending written notice to LG, you and LG agree to resolve any claims between us only by binding arbitration on an individual basis, unless you opt out as provided below. Any dispute between you and LG shall not be combined or consolidated with a dispute involving any other person’s or entity’s product or claim. More specifically, without limitation of the foregoing, any dispute between you and LG shall not under any circumstances proceed as part of a class or representative action. Instead of arbitration, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, but that small claims court action may not be brought on a class or representative basis.
Arbitration Rules and Procedures. To begin arbitration of a claim, either you or LG must make a written demand for arbitration. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association e’AAAI and will be conducted before a single arbitrator under the AM’s Consumer Arbitration Rules that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (referred to as the “AAA Rules”) and under the procedures set forth in this section. The AM Rules are available online at www.adr.org/consumer. Send a copy of your written demand for arbitration, as well as a copy of this provision, to the AM in the manner described in the AM Rules. You must also send a copy of your written demand to LG at LG Electronics, USA, Inc. Attn: Legal Department- Arbitration 111 Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632. If there is a conflict between the AAA Rules and the rules set forth in this section, the rules set forth in this section will govern. This arbitration provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrators award in any court of competent jurisdiction. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and en forceability of the arbitration provision and to the arbitrability of the dispute are for the court to decide. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this provision.
Governing Law. The law of the state of your residence shall govern this Limited Warranty and any disputes between us except to the extent that such law is preempted by or inconsistent with applicable federal law.
Fees/Costs. You do not need to pay any fee to begin an arbitration. Upon receipt of your written demand for arbitration, LG will promptly pay all arbitration filing fees to the AAA unless you seek more than $25,000 in damages, in which case the payment of these fees will be governed by the MA Rules. Except as otherwise provided for herein, LG will pay all MA filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the AM Rules and this arbitration provision. If you prevail in the arbitration, LG will pay your attorneys fees and expenses as long as they are reasonable, by considering factors including, but not limited to, the purchase amount and claim amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if applicable law allows for an award of reasonable attorneys fees and expenses, an arbitrator can award them to the same extent that a court would. If the arbitrator finds either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all arbitration fees will be governed by the MA Rules. In such a situation, you agree to reimburse LG for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AM Rules. Except as otherwise provided for, LG waives any rights it may have to seek attorneys’ fees and expenses from you if LG prevails in the arbitration.
Hearings and Location.
If your claim is for $25,000 or less, you may choose to have the arbitration conducted solely on the basis of (1) documents submitted to the arbitrator, (2) through a telephonic hearing, or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the MA Rules. If your claim exceeds $25,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the MA Rules. Any in-person arbitration hearings will be held at a location within the federal judicial district in which you reside unless we both agree to another location or we agree to a telephonic arbitration.
Opt Out. You may opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. If you opt out, neither you nor LG can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must send notice to LG no later than 30 calendar days from the date of the first consumer purchasers purchase of the product by either: (i) sending an e-mail to optout@lge.com, with the subject line: °Arbitration Opt Out” or (ii) calling 1- 800-980-2973. You must include in the opt out e-mail or provide by telephone: (a) your name and address; (b) the date on which the product was purchased; (c) the product model name or model number; and (d) the serial number (the serial number can be found (i) on the product; or (ii) online by accessing https://www.Ig.com/us/support/repair- service/schedule-repair-continued and clicking on °Find My Model & Serial Numbers).
You may only opt out of the dispute resolution procedure in the manner described above (that is, by e-mail or telephone); no other form of notice will be effective to opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. Opting out of this dispute resolution procedure will not affect the coverage of the Limited Warranty in any way, and you will continue to enjoy the full benefits of the Limited Warranty. If you keep this product and do not opt out, then you accept all terms and conditions of the arbitration provision described above.

PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES:
EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED AT LAW, ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND LG ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR THE PRODUCT SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION, AND NOT IN A COURT OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED AT LAW, YOU AND LG BOTH IRREVOCABLY AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Definitions. For the purposes of this section, references to “LG” mean LG Electronics Canada, Inc., its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their officers, directors, employees, agents, beneficiaries, predecessors in interest, successors, assigns and suppliers; references to “dispute’ or “claim” shall include any dispute, claim or controversy of any kind whatsoever (whether based in contract, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal or equitable theory) arising out of or relating in any way to the sale, condition or performance of the product or this Limited Warranty.
Notice of Dispute. In the event you intend to commence an arbitration proceeding, you must first notify LG in writing at least 30 days in advance of initiating the arbitration by sending a letter to LGECI Legal Team at 20 Norelco Drive, North York, Ontario, Canada M9L 2X6 (the “Notice of Dispute”).

Agreement to Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver.
Upon failure to resolve the dispute during the 30 day period after LG’s receipt of the Notice of Dispute, you and LG agree to resolve any claims between you and LG only by binding arbitration on an individual basis, unless you opt out as provided below, or you reside in a jurisdiction that prevents full application of this clause in the circumstances of the claims at issue (in which case if you are a consumer, this clause will only apply if you expressly agree to the arbitration). To the extent permitted by applicable law, any dispute between you and LG shall not be combined or consolidated with a dispute involving any other person’s or entity’s product or claim. More specifically, without limitation of the foregoing, except to the extent such a prohibition is not permitted at law, any dispute between you and LG shall not under any circumstances proceed as part of a class or representative action. Instead of arbitration, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, but that small claims court action may not be brought on a class or representative basis except to the extent this prohibition is not permitted at law in your province or territory of jurisdiction as it relates to the claims at issue between you and LG. Arbitration Rules and Procedures.
To begin arbitration of a claim, either you or LG must make a written demand for arbitration. The arbitration will be private and confidential, and conducted on a simplified and expedited basis before a single arbitrator chosen by the parties under the provincial or territorial commercial arbitration law and rules of the province or territory of your residence. You must also send a copy of your written demand to LG at LG Electronics, Canada, Inc., Attn: Legal Department- Arbitration, 20 Norelco Drive, North York, Ontario M9L 2X6. This arbitration provision is governed by your applicable provincial or territorial commercial arbitration legislation. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrators award in any court of competent jurisdiction. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that, issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision and to the arbitrability of the dispute are for the court to decide. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this provision.
Governing Law.
The law of the province or territory of your purchase shall govern this Limited Warranty and any disputes between you and LG except to the extent that such law is preempted by or inconsistent with applicable federal or provincial/territorial law. Should arbitration not be permitted for any claim, action, dispute or controversy between you and LG, you and LG attorn to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the province or territory of your purchase for the resolution of the claim, action, dispute or controversy between you and LG. Fees/Costs.
You do not need to pay any fee to begin an arbitration. Upon receipt of your written demand for arbitration, LG will promptly pay all arbitration filing fees unless you seek more than 825,000 in damages, in which case the payment of these fees will be governed by the applicable arbitration rules. Except as otherwise provided for herein, LG will pay all filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules and this arbitration provision. If you prevail in the arbitration, LG will pay your attorneys’ fees and expenses as long as they are reasonable, by considering factors including, but not limited to, the purchase amount and claim amount Notwithstanding the foregoing, if applicable law allows for an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, an arbitrator can award them to the same extent that a court would. If the arbitrator finds either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the applicable laws), then the payment of all arbitration fees will be governed by the applicable arbitration rules. In such a situation, you agree to reimburse LG for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the applicable arbitration rules. Except as otherwise provided for, LG waives any rights it may have to seek attorneys’ fees and expenses from you if LG prevails in the arbitration.
Hearings and Location.
If your claim is for $25,000 or less, you may choose to have the arbitration conducted solely (1) on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, (2) through a telephonic hearing, or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the applicable arbitration rules. If your claim exceeds $25,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the applicable arbitration rules. Any in-person arbitration hearings will be held at the nearest, most mutually-convenient arbitration location available within the province or territory in which you reside unless you and LG both agree to another location or agree to a telephonic arbitration.
Severability and Waiver.
If any portion of this Limited Warranty (including these arbitration procedures) is unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Should LG fail to enforce strict performance of any provision of this Limited Warranty (including these arbitration procedures), it does not mean that LG intends to waive or has waived any provision or part of this Limited Warranty.
Opt Out. You may opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. If you opt out, neither you nor LG can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must send notice to LG no later than 30 calendar days from the date of the first consumer purchaser’s purchase of the product by either (i) sending an e-mail to optout@lge.com, with the subject line: “Arbitration Opt Out’ or (i) calling 1-800-980-2973.
