20 INSTALLATION
2 Connect the end of the drain hose a to the air
gap b with the hose clamp provided. Move the clamp into position and tighten it with a flat-blade screwdriver. · This avoids water being siphoned from the
tub.

With the lower rack removed, place a level on the inside wall of the tub to check that the dishwasher is level from side to side.
· If you do not have a level, try using a smartphone level application instead.

3 If it is not connected, attach the rubber hose
connector to the disposal or waste tee with a hose clamp (not provided).

Make sure that the gap between the tub walls and the door liner is the same on either side.

Leveling Dishwasher
Check that the dishwasher is level and adjust the leveling feet if necessary.
CAUTION · Failure to level the dishwasher may result in
leakage, problems closing the door, or noise.
· Where the cabinet opening is narrower than recommended (see Preparing Cabinet Opening), the dishwasher must be carefully leveled and aligned so that the dishwasher is supported fully by the 3 leveling feet and is not hanging from the installation brackets. Failure to do so can result in leaks from the front of the dishwasher, AE errors, difficulty in closing the door, or failure to operate.
Checking Leveling
To check that the tub is level from front to back, remove the lower rack and pour 169 oz. (5 L) of water into the bottom of the tub. The water level should be near the center of both tub lower indentations at the front.

Adjusting Leveling Feet
Adjust as needed until the dishwasher is completely leveled.
· Adjust the front and rear leveling feet until they are all in firm contact with the floor. Failure to level the dishwasher may prevent the door from closing properly and the dishwasher will not turn on.
Adjusting Front Leveling Feet
Use a flat-blade screwdriver to turn the front leveling feet and adjust the front of the tub.
· Turn the front leveling feet clockwise to raise the front of the tub and counterclockwise to lower it.

· The adjustments work identically for both front leveling feet.
· When a flat-blade screwdriver is unavailable, use a 1/4″ square drive wrench a or 3/8″ square

ENGLISH

drive wrench b with 1/2″ socket c to turn the front leveling feet and adjust the front of the tub.

INSTALLATION 21
NOTE · Installation brackets and screws can be found in
the silverware basket. · Use a magnetic screwdriver. · Cover the filter hole with towels to prevent
screws from falling down into the pump.

Silverware Loading Tips:
· For best cleaning results, use the top separators in the basket when loading silverware. The separators will prevent nesting of silverware.
· Load sharp items, such as knives, pointing down.
· When unloading the dishwasher, it is best to start with the silverware basket. Doing so will prevent water droplets from falling on your silverware from the upper rack.
WARNING · Be careful when loading and unloading sharp
items. Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of personal injury.

Lower Rack Loading Tips:
· Plates should be positioned upright and facing the center of the rack, and pots, pans and large dishes must be turned upside down.
· Load dinner plates, dishes, soup bowls, etc. between the tines.
· Load cookie sheets, cake pans and other large items at the sides or back of the rack. Loading these items in the front of the dishwasher can prevent the water spray from reaching the detergent dispenser.
· Make sure that pot handles and other large items do not stop the rotation of the spray arms.
· The lower rack should not be used for small items such as cups, wine glasses, or small plates. These items should be loaded in the upper rack.
· Make sure that large items do not interfere with the rotation of the spray arms, and do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.

NOTE
· After completion of the wash program, check whether the detergent was completely washed out.
· Some dishwasher detergent tablets may become stuck in the dispenser due to their excessive size. Tablets can be placed onto the base of the wash tub next to the filter before starting the cycle.
· Too much detergent can leave a film on dishes and in the dishwasher, resulting in poor wash performance.
· If dishwasher detergent tablets are used without liquid rinse aid, the dishes and dishwasher interior will have excessive moisture. Select the Extra Dry option for better drying performance.
· Using liquid rinse aid improves drying performance by allowing water to drain off of dishes after the final rinse.
· Do not use detergent tablets for shorter wash cycles. The tablet may not dissolve completely, causing detergent residue on dishes and inefficient cleaning.
· Using a wash booster helps remove spots, residue, and the white film caused by hard water. It does not help remove excess detergent residue.

Before Calling for Service

FAQs

Q:

Does this dishwasher require a rinse aid to be used?

A:

Rinse aid is strongly recommended to enhance the drying performance of the dishwasher. In order

to be more energy efficient, the hybrid drying system does not use a heating element to assist in

drying, so a rinse aid plays an integral role in the drying process. If a rinse aid is not used, water may

remain on the dishes and the tub. Rinse aid helps to ensure that the majority of the water has been

sheeted off of the dishes at the end of the rinse and that the load is ready for the dry cycle.

Q:

What can be done if my dishes have a cloudy, white film on them after a wash?

A:

The cloudy film is usually caused by minerals in the water reacting with the dishwasher detergent.

First, be certain not to use too much detergent. Refer to Adding Detergent to the Dispenser section

for recommended detergent amounts. Add an extra rinse to the cycle. LG Dishwashers use less

water than traditional dishwashers, so adding an extra rinse helps to rinse the film away. If the water

supply is hard, it may be necessary to add a performance booster that addresses the hard water

condition.

Q:

How do I remove white film on the tub?

A:

Measure 3 tbsp. (40 g) of citric acid powder and use it to fill the main detergent compartment. Run a

Machine Clean cycle. Do not use detergent.

Q:

What steps can I take to improve drying results?

A:

Drying performance is directly affected by the amount of heat that remains in the tub after the

heated rinse is performed. If your dishwasher is far away from your home’s hot water heater, it may

be necessary to run the hot water tap in the sink before starting a wash cycle, to ensure that cool

water is purged from the hot water lines. This will ensure your dishwasher has a consistent supply of

hot water from start to finish. Using the High Temp. setting also aids in keeping the inner drum

temperature and dishes hotter before drying begins.

LG dishwashers are designed to be used in conjunction with a rinse aid. Using a rinse aid will

maximize the amount of water that has already been sheeted away from the dishes before the dry

cycle begins. If a rinse aid is used and the performance still needs a boost, adjust the amount of rinse

aid used. 2 is the default setting, but if necessary set the level to 3 so more rinse aid is used.

Water tends to bead rather than sheet off plastic and nonstick surfaces, making them more difficult

to dry. If washing plastic items in a Normal cycle, select the Extra Dry or Night Dry option or both for

better drying results. When the rinse aid is empty, the Extra Dry option is selected automatically.

Allow the dishwasher to completely finish the dry cycle before opening the door. If the door is

opened in the middle of the dry cycle, the heat that is necessary for the hybrid dry system to work

will escape. This will cause all of the dishes inside to remain wet once the cycle finishes.

Q:

What is the hybrid drying system?

44 TROUBLESHOOTING

A:

The dishwasher does not rely on a heating element for the drying process; instead, it relies on the

heat that is retained by the dishes and the tub during the wash and rinse cycles to turn the moisture

in the tub into humidity.

Warm, moist air in the dishwasher is then pulled into a condensing duct in the door by a fan. The air

then cools, which causes the humidity to condense. Room temperature air is also drawn into the duct

to help the air cool down faster. When this moisture condenses into a liquid, it is drained out.

NOTE · Rinse aid is required to enhance the drying performance. If no rinse aid is used, water may
remain on the dishes and the tub.

Q:

Why am I hearing a whistling sound from the dishwasher?

A:

It is important to determine the duration of the noise and when it happens (what part of the cycle).

When water is drawn into the dishwasher, a whistling noise can be heard. This is normal. If the water

pressure is too high, it will be louder, so it may be necessary to adjust the water valve to lower the

pressure if the noise is too loud.

Q:

What kinds of dishes can be placed in the dishwasher?

A:

Ensure that the dishes you place in the dishwasher are dishwasher safe. Plastic dishware will not dry

as effectively as glass and metal dishware. Plastic items do not retain heat as well as glass and metal

dishware. Plastic cups and dishes may require some hand drying before being put away at the end of

the cycle.

Q:

Can I run a drain only cycle?

A:

To drain standing water, press and hold Start for three seconds until the cycle stops. Once the

dishwasher finishes draining, the power turns off.

Q:

Why does my dishwasher continuously chime if I open the door during a cycle or right after the

cycle has finished?

A:

This is normal. The dishwasher is letting you know that the interior temperatures of the unit are hot

and to use caution when reaching inside. Once the unit has cooled down, the chiming will stop.

Q:

What is Control Lock and how is it activated?

A:

Control Lock is a feature that prevents the controls from being changed during the cycle. It does not

prevent the door from being opened or the unit from being powered off. To activate or deactivate,

press and hold Half Load and Energy Saver simultaneously for three seconds.

Q:

Can I add an extension to the drain hose?

A:

If a drain hose extension is required, use a 5/8″ or 7/8″ inside diameter, 2 ft ~ 3 ft. length hose and a

coupler to connect the two hose ends.

Q:

An LED is blinking, the machine is chiming, and the dishwasher won’t start. What is wrong with

the dishwasher?

A:

This is a safety feature. The door must be closed within four seconds of pressing the Start button. If

the door is not closed within four seconds, an LED flashes, an audible alert sounds, and the

dishwasher does not operate. To start the dishwasher, open the door and either close the door and

press Start (front controls) or press Start and close the door within four seconds (top controls).

Q:

Should I pre-rinse dishes before loading them?

A:

No, you don’t need to pre-rinse the dishes before loading especially if using the Normal and Auto

cycles. The dishwasher washes dishes clean without pre-rinsing.

PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES:
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. 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,

52 LIMITED WARRANTY
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 (“AAA”) and will be conducted before a single arbitrator under the AAA’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 AAA 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 AAA in the manner described in the AAA 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 arbitrator’s 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 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 AAA Rules. Except as otherwise provided for herein, LG will pay all AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the AAA 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 AAA 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 AAA 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 AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $25,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA 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.
