Use only new hoses when installing the washer. Old hoses could leak or burst causing flooding and property damage. Contact an LG Customer Information Center for assistance in buying hoses. • Connect the blue hose to the cold water faucet and the red hose to the hot water faucet. 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 °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 a in place in both ends of each hose to prevent leaking. 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. 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. Connecting the Drain Hose 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
