Required Accessories Connecting the Water Inlet Hoses How to Connect the Water Inlet Hoses To avoid the risk of costly water damage, purchase and install new water inlet hoses when installing the appliance. WARNING • Do not overtighten the hoses or cross-thread the hose fittings. Overtightening or cross-threading can damage the valves or couplings, resulting in leaking and property damage. • Do not reuse old hoses. Use only new hoses when installing the appliance. Old hoses could leak or burst causing flooding and property damage. Contact an LG Customer Information Center for assistance in buying hoses. NOTE • Periodically check the hoses for cracks, leaks, and wear, and replace the hoses every five years. • 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 psi and 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 ℉ (48-57 ℃) to allow the appliance to properly control wash temperatures. • Do not store or install the appliance in a location subject to freezing temperatures. Damage to the water inlet hoses and internal mechanisms of the appliance can result. If the appliance 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.
