LG WM9000HVA Smart wi-fi Enabled Front Load Washer

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this owner’s Manual.
• Before use, the washer must be properly installed as described in this manual.
• Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• Do not add gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using the washer, 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.
• Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near children.
• Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the lid to prevent children from climbing inside.
• Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather or freezing temperatures.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Keep the area underneath and around your appliances free of combustible materials (lint, paper, rags, etc.), gasoline, chemicals, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt any servicing other than as described in this manual. We strongly recommend that any service be performed by a qualified technician.
• See Installation Instructions for grounding requirements.
• ALWAYS follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the garment manufacturer.
• Do not place items exposed to cooking oil in your washer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.
• Use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static only as recommended by the manufacturer.
• This washer is not designed for maritime use or mobile installations such as in RVs, aircraft, etc.
• Turn off the water faucets and unplug the washer if the machine is to be left for an extended period, such as during vacations.
• Do not use dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
• Packaging material can be dangerous for children. There is a risk of suffocation! Keep all packaging from children.
• Always check the inside of the washer for foreign objects before loading the laundry. Keep the lid closed when not in use.
• Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or agitator is moving.

WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or servicer if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Failure to follow these warnings can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following.

• Refer to INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for detailed grounding procedures. Installation instructions are packed with the washer for the installer’s reference. If the washer is moved to a new location, have it checked and reinstalled by a qualified service technician. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
• For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
• The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock from this appliance.
• This washer must be plugged into a 120 VAC, 60 Hz grounded outlet. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
• Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
• Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
• Do not install it on the carpet. Install the washer on a solid floor. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious leak damage.
• Do not remove the ground prong. Do not use an adapter or extension cord. Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Failure to follow these warnings can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
• The washer should always be plugged into its electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
• Never unplug your washer by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull it straight out from the outlet. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
• Repair or immediately replace all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.

• The washer must be installed and electrically grounded by a qualified service person according to local codes to prevent shock hazards and assure stability during operation.
• The washer is heavy. Two or more people may be needed to install and move the appliance. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
• Store and install the washer where it will not be exposed to temperatures below freezing or exposed to outdoor weather conditions. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious leak damage.
• Do not install the washer in humid spaces to reduce the risk of electric shock. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
• To reduce the risk of injury to persons, adhere to all industry-recommended safety procedures including the use of long-sleeved gloves and safety glasses.  Failure to follow all of the safety warnings in this manual could result in property damage, injury to persons, or death.

Unpacking and removing shipping bolts
When removing the washer from the carton base, be sure to remove the foam drum support in the middle of the carton base. If you must lay the washer down to remove the base packaging materials, always lay it carefully on its side.

Fabric care labels
Most articles of clothing feature fabric care labels that include instructions for proper care.

Recommended detergent
Make sure to use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent for front-loading washing machines. HE detergents dissolve more efficiently and produce fewer suds to ensure efficient washing and rinsing. Use the correct amount of detergent as indicated on the label of the detergent packaging.

Do not use more than one detergent pod in the washer. Using too much detergent may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance. Reduce the detergent amount or add an extra rinse if the detergent residue is left on the fabrics. To add an extra rinse, press the Extra Rinse button.

Cycle guide
The cycle guide below shows the options and recommended fabric types for each cycle.

Cycle modifier buttons
Each cycle has preset settings that are selected automatically. You may also customize the settings using the cycle modifier buttons. Press the button for that option to view and select other settings. The washer automatically adjusts the water level for the type and size of the wash load for best results and maximum efficiency. It may seem there is no water inside the drum in some cycles, but this is normal.
