Connecting the water lines
1
Check the rubber seals on both sides of the
hose.
- Insert a rubber seal into the threaded
fittings on each hose to prevent leaking.
2
Connect the water supply hoses to the HOT
and COLD water faucets tightly by hand and
then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers.
- Connect the blue hose to a cold water
faucet and the red hose to a hot water
faucet.
4
Connect the hoses to the water inlets tightly
by hand and then tighten another 2/3 turn
with pliers.
- Connect the blue hose to the cold water
inlet and the red hose to the hot water
inlet.
5
Check for leaks by turning on the faucets.
- If water leaks, check steps 1 to 4 again.
3
After connecting inlet hose to water faucets,
turn on the water faucets to flush out
foreign substances (dirt, sand or sawdust)
in the water lines. Let water drain into a
bucket, and check the water temperature.

WARNING
• Do not overtighten. Damage to the cou-
pling can result.
WARNING
• Do not overtighten the hoses.
Overtightening can damage the valves
resulting in leaking and property damage.
NOTE
• For your safety, and for extended product
life, use only authorized components. The
manufacturer is not responsible for product
malfunction or accidents caused by the
use of separately purchased unauthorized
parts.
• Use new hoses when you install the
washing machine. Do not reuse old hoses.
Use only the inlet hoses provided with the
washer. LG does not recommend the use
of aftermarket hoses.
• Periodically check the hoses for cracks,
leaks and wear, and replace the hoses
every 5 years.
• Do not stretch the water hoses intentional-
ly, and make sure that they are not crushed
by other objects.
• Water supply pressure must be between
1.0 kgf/cm² and 8.0 kgf/cm² (0.1~0.8 MPa).
If the water supply pressure is more than
8.0 kgf/cm², 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).
