REGULAR CLEANING
Storing the Washer
If the washer will not be used for an extended
period of time and is in an area that could be
exposed to freezing temperatures:
1
Turn off water supply tap.
Disconnect hoses from water supply and
2
drain water from hoses.
Plug the power cord into a properly grounded
3
electrical outlet.
Add 1 gallon of nontoxic recreational vehicle
4
(RV) antifreeze to the empty wash drum.
Close the lid.
Select the spin cycle and let washer spin
5
for 1 minute to drain out all the water.
NOTE: Not all of the RV antifreeze will be
expelled.
Unplug the power cord, dry the drum interior
6
with a soft cloth, and close the lid.
Remove the inserts from the dispenser. Drain
7
any water in compartments and dry the
compartments.
Store the washer in an upright position.
8
To remove the antifreeze from the washer
9
after storage, run washer through a complete
cycle using detergent. Do not add laundry!
Removing Lime Buildup
If you live in an area with hard water, lime scale
can form on internal components of the washer.
Use of a water softener is recommended in areas
with hard water. If a descaler is used, make sure
that it is suitable for use in a washer, and run the
TUB CLEAN cycle before washing clothing.
Lime scale and other spots may be removed
from the stainless steel drum using a stainless
steel cleaner. Do NOT use steel wool or abrasive
cleansers; they can damage the surface.
Leave the Lid Open
Leave the lid open after finishing laundry to keep
the tub clean.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the Water Inlet Filters
If the washer detects that water is not entering
the dispenser, an error message will show on the
display. If you live in an area with hard water, this
may be caused by clogged inlet filters.
IMPORTANT: Use extreme care when removing
and cleaning the filters. If the filters cannot be
cleaned or are damaged, do NOT operate the
washer without the inlet filters. Contact LG
Customer Service or a qualified LG servicer.
Hot
Turn off both water taps completely. Unscrew
the hot and cold water lines from the back of the
washer.
IMPORTANT: Use ONLY the inlet hoses provided
by LG with this laundry product. Aftermarket
hoses are not guaranteed to fit or function
correctly. Other hoses may not tighten correctly
and could cause leaks. Subsequent damage to
product or property will not be covered under the
terms of LG's warranty.
Inlet Filter
Carefully remove the filters from the water inlets,
and soak them in white vinegar or a lime scale
remover. Rinse thoroughly before reinstalling.
Press the filters back into place and reattach the
water lines. Do NOT operate the washer without
the inlet filters.
