IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• This is a single appliance and a single unit for sale, delivery and installation.
• Do not disassemble this appliance as it can’t be installed in a side-by-side configuration.

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.

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

instructions before resuming use.

• 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.

mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or

appliance is used near children or pets.
