REGULAR CLEANING
(cont.)
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.
2
Disconnect hoses from water supply and
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 door.
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.
Care and Cleaning of the Interior
Use a towel or soft cloth to wipe around the
washer door opening, door seal, and door glass.
These areas should be kept clean to ensure a
watertight seal. Be sure to wipe under the inside
rubber seal to remove any moisture or soil.
Always remove items from the washer as soon
as the cycle is completed. Leaving damp items
in the washer can cause wrinkling, color transfer,
and odor.
Run the TUB CLEAN cycle regularly to remove
detergent buildup and other residue.

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.

to remove buildup from detergent and other
laundry products.
Pull out the dispenser drawer until it stops.

and pull to remove the drawer.
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.
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.

with a damp cloth. Reassemble the drawer
and reinstall in the drawer opening.
NOTE: Do not use anything other than water
to clean the drawer, inserts, and drawer
opening. If any sort of household cleaner
drains into the interior of the washer, run a
RINSE + SPIN cycle before washing clothes.
