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 intentionally,
and make sure that they are not crushed by
other objects.
• Water supply pressure must be
between 1.0 kgf/cm² and 10.0 kgf/
cm² (100~1000 KPa). If the water
supply pressure is more than 10.0
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).
