Connecting the Hose to the Water Tap

  • Unscrew the adapter ring plate a and loose the 4 fixing screws.

  • Remove the guide plate b if the tap is too large to fit the adapter.

  • Push the adapter onto the end of the tap so that the rubber seal is connected to be watertight. Tighten the 4 fixing screws and the adapter ring plate.

  • Pull the connector latch plate c down, push the inlet hose onto the adapter, and release the connector latch plate. Make sure the adapter locks into place.

Note

  • After connecting the water inlet hose to the water tap, turn on the water tap to flush out foreign substances (dirt, sand, sawdust etc.) in the water lines. Let the water drain into a bucket, and check the water condition.

  • 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.
