PRODUCT FEATURES
INVERTER DIRECT-DRIVE MOTOR
The inverter direct drive motor, which is directly attached to the drum, is capable of producing mul-
tiple distinct different motions for optimal washing performance with very little noise and vibration.
The motor assembly also contains fewer moving parts, thus resulting in fewer repairs.
SMART DIAGNOSIS™
Should you experience any technical difficulty with your washing machine, it has the capability of
transmitting data by phone to the Customer Information Center. The call center agent records the
data transmitted from your machine and uses it to analyze the issue, providing a fast and effective
diagnosis (Refer to page 45).
TUB CLEAN
Cleaning of the tub on a regular monthly basis using Tub Clean can help keep the tub clean and
fresh.
MAGNETIC DOOR PLUNGER
Safely and conveniently secure the door slightly ajar with the magnetic door plunger. This will pro-
mote air circulation and allow the interior of the machine to dry. To use this feature, after the load has
been removed, do not close the door completely.
When the magnetic door plunger comes into contact with the metal washer cabinet, it will secure the
door slightly open allowing the interior of the washer to dry.
LARGE CAPACITY STAINLESS STEEL DRUM
The large capacity stainless steel drum offers extreme durability and is tilted to improve efficiency
and allow easier access for large items.
CHILD LOCK
Use this option to disable the controls during a wash cycle. This option can prevent children from
changing cycles or operating the machine.
DETERGENT DISPENSER DRAWER
The four-compartment dispenser drawer makes it easy to separate the pre-wash detergent, main
laundry detergent, liquid bleach, and fabric softener into different compartments.
HIGH TEMPERATURE STEAM CYCLES
LG's unique, high-temperature steam cycles help to remove tough stains.
TAG ON
The Tag On feature works on most NFC equipped smart phones by communicating with your Tag
On equipped LG appliance. Using the LG Smart Laundry application, the Tag On feature allows you
to diagnose your appliance, download new cycles, and see the status of your appliance by simply
touching the smart phone to the Tag On logo of the appliance.

4IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
WARNING
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, explosion, or electric
shock, or to prevent property damage, injury to persons, or death.
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey
all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word DANGER, WARNING or CAUTION.
These words mean:
DANGER
You will be killed or seriously injured if you don’t immediately follow instructions.
WARNING
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.
CAUTION
You may be slightly injured or cause damage to the product if you do not follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell
you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions,
including the following.
• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described
in this Owner’s Manual.
• Before use, the washer must be properly installed as
described in this manual.
• Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in,
washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning
solvents, 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.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in
a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or
more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water
system has not been used for such a period, before using the
washer, 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.
• Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used
near children.
• Before the washer is removed from service or discarded,
remove the lid to prevent children from climbing inside.
• Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to
the weather or freezing temperatures.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Keep the area underneath and around your appliances free
of combustible materials (lint, paper, rags, etc.), gasoline,
chemicals and other flammable vapors and liquids.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt
any servicing other than as described in this manual. We
strongly recommend that any service be performed by a
qualified technician.
• See Installation Instructions for grounding requirements.
• ALWAYS follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the
garment manufacturer.
• Do not place items exposed to cooking oil in your washer.
Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a
chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.
• Use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static only as
recommended by the manufacturer.
• This washer is not designed for maritime use or for mobile
installations such as in RVs, aircraft, etc.
• Turn off the water faucets and unplug the washer if the
machine is to be left for an extended period of time, such as
during vacations.
• Packaging material can be dangerous for children. There is a
risk of suffocation! Keep all packaging from children.
• Always check the inside of the washer for foreign objects
before loading laundry. Keep the lid closed when not in use.
• Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or agitator is
moving.
• WARNING : This product contains chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

WARNING
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, explosion, or
electric shock, or to prevent property damage, injury to persons, or death.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the
risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with
a qualified electrician or servicer if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do
not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician. Failure to follow these warnings can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or
death.
