Overtightening can damage the valves resulting in leaking and property damage. 5 Check for leaks by turning on the faucets. - If water leaks, check steps 1 to 4 again. A) NOTE • LG recommends the use of LG hoses, if they are supplied with the washing machine. Any leaking, property damage, or damage to the washing machine caused by improper installation or by the use of hoses other than those supplied, if any, is not covered under the terms of the LG warranty and is the sole responsibility of the customer and/or installer. • Always use good quality hoses. Periodically check the hoses for cracks, leaks and wear, and replace the hoses every 5 years. • When moving or installing the machine do not stretch, crush of kink the hoses. • 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. • To provide optimum washing performance the hot water temperature should be set at 120-135°F (48-57°C) and the cold at 60°F (15°C).
