4IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Destroy the carton, plastic bag, and other packing materials after the appliance is unpacked. Children
might use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, or plastic sheets can become airtight
chambers.
• The appliance must be installed and electrically grounded by qualified service personnel in accordance
with local codes.
• When installing or moving the appliance, be careful not to pinch, crush, or damage the power cord.
• Connect to a properly rated, protected, and sized power circuit to avoid electrical overload.
• This appliance must be positioned near to an electrical power supply.
• Disconnect the power cord, house fuse or circuit breaker before installing or servicing the appliance.
• The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a
standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock from this appliance.
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
• Use new hoses when connecting the washer to the water supply. Do not reuse old hoses.
Operation
• Read all instructions before using the appliance and save these instructions.
• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose.
• If the product has been submerged in water, sitting in standing water, or waterlogged, do not come in
contact with the product and immediately contact an LG Electronics Customer Information Center for

• If you detect a strange sound, a chemical or burning smell, or smoke coming from the appliance, unplug
it immediately, and contact an LG Electronics Customer Information Center.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot-water system that has not been used
for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot-water system has not been used for
such a period, before using the appliance, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each
for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not
smoke or use an open flame during this time.

loading, unloading, or adding items, press Start/Pause and allow the tub or drum to coast to a complete
stop before reaching inside.

• Do not allow children or pets to play on, in or with the appliance. Close supervision is necessary when the
appliance is used near children or pets.
• Keep laundry products out of children’s reach. To prevent injury to persons, observe all warnings on
product labels.
• Repair or immediately replace all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not
use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.

5IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ENGLISH
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
• Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar. Follow package directions when
using laundry products. Incorrect usage can produce poisonous gas, resulting in serious injury or death.
• Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents to clean the washer. They will damage the
finish.
• Do not wash laundry that has been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents, vegetable or cooking oil, or other flammable or explosive substances, as they give
off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• Do not add gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash
water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• In the event of a gas leak (propane gas, LP gas, etc.), do not operate this or any other appliance. Open a
window or door to ventilate the area immediately.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Fix the drain hose securely in place to avoid flooding.
• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door of the appliance.
• Always check the inside of the appliance for foreign objects.
• Do not allow water, bleach or other liquids to sit in the drum for extended periods. Doing so can corrode
the drum or cause mildew or odors.
• Do not dry unwashed items in the appliance.
Maintenance
• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance. All repairs and servicing must be performed by
qualified service personnel unless specifically recommended in this owner’s manual. Use only authorized
factory parts.
• Disconnect this appliance from the power supply before cleaning and attempting any user maintenance.
Turning the controls to the OFF position does not disconnect this appliance from the power supply.
• Remove any dust or foreign matter from the power plug pins.
• Do not disassemble or repair the appliance by yourself.
• Remove the door before the appliance is removed from service or discarded to avoid the danger of
children or small animals getting trapped inside.
• Make sure the dispenser drawer or lid is closed at all times when not being filled with laundry products.
Grounding Instructions
• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• The appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the
risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. The appliance is
equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
