IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• Read all instructions before using the washer.

• Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

• Do not add gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS
  EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using the washing machine, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

• Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near children.

• Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to prevent children from hiding inside.

• Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather.

• Do not tamper with controls.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Two or more people may be need to install and move the appliance. Install or store unit where it will not be exposed to temperatures below freezing or exposed to outside weather conditions. Properly ground washer to conform with all governing codes and ordinances. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not install the washer in humid spaces. The base opening must not be obstructed by carpeting when the washing machine is installed on a carpeted floor. In countries where there are areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in clean condition at all times. Damage caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the appliance warranty

Shipping bolts

The appliance is fitted with shipping bolts to prevent internal damage during transportation. Packing and all shipping bolts must be removed before using the washer.

• When unpacking the base, be sure to remove the additional packing support in the middle of the base packing

Removing shipping bolts

1. To prevent internal damage during transport, 4 locking bolts are installed. Before operating the washer, remove the bolts and braces.
   • If they are not removed, it may cause severe vibration, noise, and malfunction.
2. Unscrew the 4 bolts with the wrench supplied. Do first lower side to remove easily. One of the bolts retains the power cord of the washer to prevent operating without removing bolts
3. Take out the 4 bolts and braces by twisting the braces slightly. Keep the 4 bolts, braces and the wrench for future use.
   • Whenever the appliance is transported, the shipping bolts and braces must be reinstalled
4. Close the holes with the caps supplied.

Installation clearances

The location must be large enough to fully open the washer door.

Washer dimensions

• Most installations require a minimum 4 in. (10 cm) clearance behind the washer.

Minimum installation spacing for recessed area installation.

• The following dimensions shown are for the minimum spacing allowed. Additional spacing should be considered for installation and servicing.
• Additional clearances might be required for wall, door and floor moldings.
• Additional spacing of 1 in. (2.5 cm) on all sides of the washer is recommended to reduce noise transfer. Companion appliance spacing should also be considered

Level floor

• The allowable slope under the entire washer is 1°.
• To minimize noise and vibration, the washer MUST be installed on a solidly constructed floor.
• Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are not recommended.
• Never install the washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.

NOTE: A firm, solid floor is even more critical to a front-loading washer than to a top-loader. If your floor is wood and/or frame construction, you may need to reinforce it. Front-loaders use substantially faster spin speeds than top- loaders, causing greater vibration. If the floor is not solid, your washer will vibrate. You will hear and feel the vibration throughout your house.

Power outlet

• Must be within 60 in. (1.5 m) of either side of the washer. Do not overload the outlet with more than one appliance.
• A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
  NOTE: It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

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

CAUTION! Concerning the Power Cord

Most appliances recommend they be placed upon a dedicated circuit; that is, a single outlet circuit that 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

Connecting water supply hose

• Water supply pressure must be between 14.5 and 116 psi(100~800 kPa).
• Do not cross thread 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 coloured 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 product or property will not be covered under the terms of LG’s warranty.

NOTE: The washing Machine is to be connected to the water mains using new hoses. Old hoses should not be used.

Repairs to the washing machine must only be carried out by qualified personnel. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunction. Contact your local service centre. 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

Installation of drain hose

• The drain hose should not be placed higher than 96 in. from the bottom of the washer.
• Properly securing the drain hose will protect the floor from damage due to water leakage
• Place the end of the drain hose in the hole of the floor drain system.
• When installing the drain hose at a sink, secure it so it cannot break away and cause flooding and damage.
• Properly securing the drain hose will protect the floor from damage due to water leakage

This equipment is not designed for maritime use or for mobile installations such as in RV’s, aircraft, etc. Turn off the faucet if the machine is to be left for an extended period of time (e.g. holiday). When disposing of the appliance, cut off the power cable, and destroy the plug. Disable the door lock to prevent young children being trapped inside. Packaging material (e.g. Films, Styrofoam) can be dangerous for children. There is a risk of suffocation! Keep all packaging from children.

Level adjustment

• Leveling the washing machine properly prevents excessive noise and vibration. Install the appliance on a solid and level floor surface, preferably in a corner of the room.

• If the floor is uneven, adjust the adjustable feet as required. (Do not insert pieces of wood, etc. under the feet.)
  NOTE: Extend the feet no more than necessary to level the washer. The more the feet are extended, the more the washer will vibrate.

• Make sure that all four feet are stable and resting on the floor and then check that the appliance is perfectly level (Use a level).

• After the washer is level, tighten the lock nuts up against of the base of the washer. All lock nuts must be tightened.

• It is critical to adjust the feet perfectly. This must be done while the washer is spinning with a load. Use the wrench (supplied) to adjust the feet until there is no vibration. Then tighten the lock nuts to prevent further adjustment.
  NOTE: If there are vibration and noise during the spin cycle, re-check the leveling of the washer, adjust the feet as required, and tighten the lock nuts securely to prevent changes in adjustment. Run the washer with a test load to make certain your washer is properly leveled. Put approximately 6 pounds of laundry in the machine. Then, press POWER, RINSE+SPIN, and START/PAUSE, in that order. When the machine spins at high speed, verify that it is stable. If not, adjust the feet accordingly.

• Diagonal Check
  When pushing down the edges of the washing machine top plate diagonally, the machine should not move up and down at all. (Please, check both directions.) If the machine rocks when pushing the machine top plate diagonally, adjust the feet again.

PREPARATION BEFORE WASHING

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.

Fabric Care Labels

Look for a care label on your clothes. This will tell you about the fabric content of your garment and how it should be washed.

Sorting

To get the best results, sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle. Different fabrics need to be washed in different ways. Always sort dark colors from pale colors and whites. Wash separately as dye and lint transfer can occur causing discoloration of white clothing. If possible, do not wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled ones

• Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light) Separate clothes according to amount of soil.
• Color (White, Lights, Darks) Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.
• Lint (Lint Producers, Collectors) Wash lint producers and lint collectors separately

Check before loading

Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first. Large items should not be more than half the total wash load. Do not wash single items. This may cause an out-of-balance load. Add one or two similar items.

• Check all the pockets to make sure that they are empty. Things such as clip, matches, pens, coins, and keys can damage both your washer and your clothes.
• Close zippers, hooks, and strings to make sure that these items do not snag on other clothes.
• Pretreat dirt and stains by brushing a little detergent dissolved in water onto stains like collars and cuffs to help lift dirt.

USING THE DISPENSER

The automatic dispenser consists of four compartments which hold

1. liquid chlorine bleach,
2. liquid fabric softener,
3. liquid or powdered detergent for prewashing and 4) liquid or powdered detergent and color-safe bleach for main wash.

All laundry products can be added at once in their respective dispenser compartments. They will be dispensed at the appropriate time for most effective cleaning. After loading the laundry additives into the dispenser, close the dispenser drawer.

Add detergent, bleach and fabric softener to the automatic dispenser following these steps:

1. Open the dispenser drawer.
2. Load the laundry products into the appropriate compartments.
3. Close the dispenser drawer

About detergent

• Designed specially to use only
• HE(High Efficiency) detergent

Your LG TROMM washer is designed to use only high-efficiency (HE) detergents. HE detergents are formulated specifically for front-load washers and contain suds-reducing components. HE detergents make less suds, improve washing and rinsing performance, and help to keep the interior of your LG TROMM washer clean. Use the manufacture’s recommended amount. If a regular detergent is used, it may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance. For the best washing and rinsing performance, low-sudsing HE detergents are strongly recommended

Prewash Detergent Compartment

• Add detergent to this compartment when using the Prewash option. Liquid or powdered detergent may be used in this compartment. The detergent will automatically be dispensed during Prewash if the Prewash option is selected.
•  Add 1/2 the recommended amount of detergent to the Prewash compartment and the recommended amount of detergent to the main wash compartment.

NOTE: Liquid detergent will drain into the washer drum as it is added.

Main Wash Detergent Compartment

• Add measured detergent to this compartment for Main wash. Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the beginning of the cycle. Either powdered or liquid detergent can be used.
• Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be added to the main wash compartment along with the same type of liquid or powdered detergent.
• When using liquid detergent, make sure the liquid detergent box and insert are in place. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
• For powered detergent, remove both the liquid detergent box and insert.
• Powdered detergent will not dispense with the liquid detergent box and insert in place.

Liquid Bleach Compartment

• Add measured liquid chlorine bleach to this compartment. The bleach will be automatically dispensed at the proper time during the wash cycle.
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the bleach which could result in damaged clothes.
• Do not pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load or into the drum. Fabric damage can occur.
• Do not use powdered bleach in this compartment

Fabric Softener Compartment

• Add the recommended amount of fabric softener to this compartment.
• Dilute concentrated softeners with warm water to the fill line.
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the fabric softener which could result in stained clothes.
• Do not pour fabric softener directly on the wash load.
• The fabric softener will be automatically dispensed during the last rinse cycle.
  NOTE: Do not place, store, or spill laundry products (soap, detergent, bleach, softener, etc.) on the top of your washer or dryer. These products can damage the finish or controls if left there too long

• If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged. We recommend cleaning it every few months.

IMPORTANT:

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 could cause leaks. Subsequent damage to product or property will not be covered under the terms of LG’s warranty.

The drain pump filter

• The drain filter collects threads and small objects left in the laundry. Check regularly that the filter is clean to ensure smooth running of your machine.

CAUTION

Drain, using the drain hose, before opening the pump filter to remove objects. Be careful when draining if the water is hot.

Allow the water to cool down before cleaning the drain pump filter.

1. Open the lower cover cap (1). Turn the drain plug (2) to pull out the hose.
2. Unplug the drain plug 2, allowing the water to flow out. At this time use a vessel to prevent water from flowing onto the floor. When water does not flow any more, turn the pump filter 3 open to the left.
3. Remove any foreign objects from the pump filter 3. After cleaning, turn the pump filter3clockwise and insert the drain plug2to the original place. Close the lower cover cap1.

Cleaning the Dispenser

• The dispenser may need to be cleaned periodically due to laundry additive build-up.

Run warm water and use a soft brush or cloth on the drawer, liquid detergent box and inserts to remove any excess laundry additives.

• Clean the drawer opening using water and a small brush.
• Follow the illustrations in reverse order to replace the parts to their proper location.

NOTE: Do not use any cleaning substance on the drawer opening other than water because it will drain into the tub. If this should happen, set the washer for a rinse and spin cycle to remove any cleaning substance from the washer before doing a load of laundry

The washing drum

• If you live in a hard water area, lime scale can continuously build up in places where it cannot be seen and it is not easily removed from the drum. Over time the build-up of scale clogs appliances, and if it is not kept in check, these will eventually have to be replaced.
• Although the washing drum is made of Stainless steel, specks of rust can be caused by small metal articles (paper clips, safety pins, etc.) which have been left in the drum.
• The washing drum should be cleaned from time to time.
• If you use descaling agents, dyes, or bleaches, make sure they are suitable for washing machine use.
• Descaler could contain components that can damage part of your washing machine.
• Remove the spots with a stainless steel cleaning agent.
• Never use steel wool.
