•  

IMPORTANT: Use new hoses when installing 

the washer. Do NOT reuse old hoses.

•  

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. 

•  Water supply pressure must be between  

100~800 kPa If the water supply pressure is 

more than 800 kPa, a pressure reducing valve 

must be installed. 

•  Periodically check the hose for cracks, leaks, 

and wear, and replace the hose every 5 years.

•  Make sure that the water lines are not stretched, 

pinched, crushed, or kinked. 

•  The washer should never be installed or stored 

in a location subject to freezing temperatures. 

Damage to the water lines 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.

  Inspect the threaded fitting on each hose and 

make sure there is a rubber seal in place in 

both ends.

NOTE: To avoid build up that can clog the inlet

by running water through them into a container.

NOTE: Do not cross-thread the hose fittings. Attach 

the hot water line to the red hot water inlet on the back 

of the washer. Attach the cold water line to the blue 

cold water inlet on the back of the washer. Tighten the 

fittings securely.
