SMART APPLIANCE CONNECTIVITY

CONNECTIVITY OVERVIEW

Your appliance now does more than just laundry. Once it is
connected to the internet through your home Wi-Fi network, it
can check for and download software updates for its operating
system, or provide you with a list of extra cycles available for
download. You can even check the progress of a cycle with
the LG Smart Laundry application for your smart phone. This
same smart phone application lets you troubleshoot problems
by recording and analyzing data from the appliance. The
appliance is also ready for the Smart Grid when your utility
installs Smart Grid equipment; it can adjust its operating times
based on when electricity prices are lower or delay operation
when the demand for electricity is high.

PROFILE SETUP (ID and PASSWORD setup)
In order to use the connectivity features of your appliance,
you must first create a user ID and password at the LG
SMARTTHINQ website (http://us.smartthinq.com). From your
home computer, or other computer with internet access, open
the SMARTTHINQ website and follow the instructions below
for creating your ID and password.

1. Click “Sign In” in the upper right corner of the web page.
2. On the login page, below the ID and password boxes, click

the Membership “Sign up” button.

3. On the next page, you must agree to the terms of use and

the privacy statement. Click “Confirm.”

4. Next, in the ID box, enter your email address. This will

be your user ID. You will receive a confirmation email for
activating the account at that email address. This ID will be
entered on the ID and password screen on your appliance
when registering the appliance.

5. Enter a password. Passwords are case sensitive, and you

will need to enter this password on your appliance when
you register the appliance. The password should be 6-12
characters, and you should make note of it for later use.

6. Enter the security characters into the box to the right.
7. Click the “Confirm” button. The system will send you

an email containing a link to confirm your identity for the
account.

8. Click the link in the confirmation email, and the website will

display a confirmation page. Your account is now setup.
