How do I clean the drain pump filter on my LG washing machine?
Open the lower cover cap using a coin, then turn the drain plug to pull out the hose and allow water to drain into a vessel. Once water stops flowing, turn the pump filter to the left to open it and remove any foreign material. After cleaning, turn the pump filter clockwise to close it, reinsert the drain plug, and close the lower cover cap. (Page 21)
How do I remove the transit bolts before using the washing machine for the first time?
Before operating the washer, you must remove the 4 transit bolts that were installed to prevent internal damage during transport. Use the supplied spanner to unscrew the bolts, then remove them along with the rubber bungs by slightly twisting each bung. Close the holes with the caps supplied, and keep the bolts and spanner for future use in case the appliance needs to be transported again. (Page 5)

What type of detergent should I use in this front-loading washing machine?
You should use powder detergent only for this front-loading washer. Using too much detergent beyond the recommended amount can cause excessive suds, decrease washing performance, or cause heavy load on the motor leading to malfunction. Adjust detergent dosage based on water temperature, water hardness, and size and soil level of the load. (Page 12)
What should I do if the washing machine will be stored in freezing temperatures?
Turn off the water supply tap, disconnect hoses and drain the water from them, then add 1 gallon (3.8L) of nontoxic recreational vehicle (RV) antifreeze into an empty wash drum and run a spin cycle for 1 minute. Unplug the electrical cord, dry the drum interior, remove and drain the dispenser drawer, and store the washer upright. After storage, run an empty wash cycle with detergent to remove the antifreeze before use. (Page 23)
Why is my washing machine making vibrating or thumping noises during operation?
Vibrating noise may be caused by the transit bolts not being removed during installation, or by all four feet not resting firmly on the ground. A thumping sound during heavy wash loads is usually normal, but if it continues, the washer may be out of balance — stop and redistribute the wash load. If rattling or clanking continues after restarting, contact your authorized service centre. (Page 24)
How does the Time Delay function work and what are its limits?
The Time Delay function allows you to set a delayed start by pressing the Time Delay button after selecting your program; pressing it sets a minimum delay of 3:00 hours, with each press advancing the time by one hour up to a maximum of 19:00 hours. The displayed time represents the expected time from the present until the completion of the washing cycle. To cancel Time Delay at any point, press the Power button. (Page 18)
What are the water pressure requirements for connecting this washing machine?
The water supply pressure must be between 30 kPa and 1000 kPa (0.3–10 kgf/cm²) for proper operation. If the water supply pressure exceeds 1000 kPa, a decompression device should be installed. You should also periodically check the condition of the inlet hose and replace it if necessary, ensuring there are no kinks or crushing. (Page 7)
