The information in this training manual is intended for use by persons possessing an adequate background
in electrical equipment, electronic devices, and mechanical systems. In any attempt to repair a major
appliance, personal injury and property damage can result. The manufacturer or seller maintains no liability
for the interpretation of this information, nor can it assume any liability in conjunction with its use. When
servicing this product, under no circumstances should the original design be modified or altered without
permission from LG Electronics. Unauthorized modifications will not only void the warranty, but may lead to
property damage or user injury. If wires, screws, clips, straps, nuts, or washers used to complete a ground
path are removed for service, they must be returned to their original positions and properly fastened.
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury, disconnect the power before servicing this product. If electrical power is required
for diagnosis or test purposes, disconnect the power immediately after performing the necessary checks.
Also be aware that many household appliances present a weight hazard. At least two people should be
involved in the installation or servicing of such devices. Failure to consider the weight of an appliance could
result in physical injury.
ESD NOTICE
Some of the electronics in appliances are electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive. ESD can weaken or
damage the electronics in these appliances in a manner that renders them inoperative or reduces the time
until their next failure. Connect an ESD wrist strap to a ground connection point or unpainted metal in the
appliance. Alternatively, you can touch your finger repeatedly to a ground connection point or unpainted
metal in the appliance. Before removing a replacement part from its package, touch the anti-static bag to a
ground connection point or unpainted metal in the appliance. Handle the electronic control assembly by its
edges only. When repackaging a failed electronic control assembly in an anti-static bag, observe these
same precautions.

SAFETY TIPS
Disconnect the power before servicing the dishwasher.
Reconnect all grounding devices after repairs are complete. This includes
all grounding wires that are attached by screw and ring connector as well
as the power input, whether cordset and outlet or hardwired.
Do not use the open door as a step or a resting place for dishes, pots and
pans, and other heavy items.
The dishwasher must be set on firm and even flooring that is at the same
level as the kitchen flooring for the ease of installation and servicing.
Do not leave the racks out of the dishwasher. Children may be tempted
top play inside the dishwasher.
If the dishwasher is not used for long periods (vacation, seasonal home, et
al.) turn off the water valve.
Touch the buttons with your fingers only. Do not poke them with forks,
screwdrivers, or similar items.
Do not use the dishwasher to wash items other than dishes and items
used in food preparation. Do not put other items, like aquaria, toilet seats,
bedpans, and other items in it. It is a dishwasher and not an autoclave.

INSTALLATION
Installation is covered briefly for the servicer who may need to uninstall and
reinstall the dishwasher for repairs. For new installations, please refer to the
installation guide that was supplied with the dishwasher.
The floor under the dishwasher should be at the same level as the rest of
the room so the dishwasher can slide in and out easily for service.
The dishwasher may be connected to either hot or cold water. If the hot water
can not maintained below 149 F, the dishwasher must be connected to the cold
water supply. Lay out the water supply line as indicated on page 14 of this
training manual. Use sealing tape or joint compound to avoid leaks.
INSTALLATION
DRAIN CONNECTION
The drain hose must be connected in a manner that meets the local plumbing
code. If the end of the drain hose does not fit the available connector, an adapter
may be obtained from a local hardware or plumbing supplier.
The rubber end can be cut off for the
correct size attachment.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Use wire
connectors and
replace the
cover on the
junction box.
(12/2 w/ ground,
20-amps)
FINAL INSTALLATION
2. Turn on the power at the fuse or breaker (or plug in the cordset at the
outlet under the sink.
3. Run the dishwasher through one QUICK cycle to check the operation and
to check for water leaks.

countertop.
CONTROL PANEL
OPTIONS
INDICATORS
PROGRAMS
The spray intensity for the upper lower racks is programmable by the customer.
By selecting SOFT SPRAY for the upper rack and STRONG SPRAY for the
lower rack, you can wash delicate items like stemware on top while washing pots
and pans on the bottom.
ADDING DETERGENT
Detergent must be added to the dispenser before the start of every cycle except
RINSE ONLY. The detergent chamber holds 1.4 oz. (40 g) when full. If the
dishes are only moderately dirty, it might be possible to use less detergent.
The factory setting for rinse aid dispensing is 3. Too little rinse aid contributes to
spotting, streaking, and poor drying performance. Too much rinse aid causes
foaming, which leads to poor washing performance.
How often you refill the dispenser depends upon your washing habits, including
the rinse aid setting, the number of loads per month you wash, and other factors.
The indicator light will illuminate when the level is low at the start of a load.
