ENGLISH INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CONNECTING THE WATER LINES • 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 14.5 PSI and 116 PSI (100~800 kPa). If the water supply pressure is more than 116 PSI, 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. 1 Inspect the threaded fitting on each hose and make sure there is a rubber seal in place in both ends.
