SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Do not modify the power plug provided with the appliance. If it does not fit the power outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

• This appliance is equipped with a power cord having an equipmentearthing / grounding conductor (earthing pin) and a grounding power plug. The power plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet socket that is installed and earthed / grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

• This appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the appliance, in such a way that a full opening of the appliance door is restricted.

Operation

• Do not apply any sharp objects to the control panel in order to operate the appliance.

• Do not attempt to separate any panels or disassemble the appliance.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance. All repairs and servicing must be performed by qualified service personnel unless specifically recommended in this Owner's Manual. Use only authorized factory parts.

WARNING

NOTE

CAUTION

Requirements

Before installing the appliance, check the following information to make sure that the appliance should be installed in a correct place.

Installation Location

• This appliance must be installed on firm flooring to minimize vibration during the spin cycle. Concrete flooring is best, being far less prone to vibration during the spin cycle than wooden floorboards or a carpeted surface.

• If it is impossible to avoid positioning the appliance next to a gas cooker or coal burning stove, an insulation (850 X 600 mm) covered with aluminum foil on the side facing the cooker or stove must be inserted between the two appliances.

• Ensure that when the appliance is installed, it is easily accessible for an engineer in the event of a breakdown.

• When installing the appliance, adjust all four feet using the transit bolt spanner provided to ensure the appliance is stable.

INSTALLATION

• This appliance must only be used for domestic household purposes and should not be used in mobile applications.

• Never try to level any uneven floor by putting pieces of wood, cardboard or similar materials under the appliance.

Wooden Floors (Suspended Floors)

When installing the appliance on wooden floors, use rubber cups to reduce excessive vibration and unbalance. Timber or suspended type flooring may contribute to excessive vibration and unbalance, errors and malfunction.

Floor Installation

To ensure sufficient clearance for water inlet hoses, drain hose and airflow, allow minimum clearances of at least 20 mm at the sides and 100 mm behind the appliance. Be sure to allow for wall, door, or floor moldings that may increase the required clearances.

100 mm

5 mm

20 mm

• To reduce vibration, we recommend placing at least 15 mm thickness of rubber cups each adjusting foot of the appliance, secured to at least two floor beams with screws.

• If possible, install the appliance in one of the corners of the room, where the floor is more stable.

• Fit the rubber cups to reduce vibration.

• If the appliance is installed on the unstable floor (e.g. wooden floor), the warranty does not cover any damages and cost occurred due to the installation on the unstable floor.

grounded/earthed in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Unpacking the Appliance

Ventilation

• Make sure that air circulation around the appliance should not be impeded by carpets, rugs, etc.

Ambient Temperature

• Do not install the appliance in rooms where freezing temperatures may occur. Frozen hoses may burst under pressure. The reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point.

• If the appliance is delivered in winter and temperatures are below freezing, place the appliance at room temperature for a few hours before putting it into operation.

Electrical Connection

• Do not use an extension cord or double adapter.

• Always unplug the appliance and turn off the water supply after use.

• Connect the appliance to an earthed socket in accordance with current wiring regulations.

• The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is easily accessible.

• Power outlet must be within 1 meter of either side of the appliance.

Lifting the Appliance Off the Foam Base

* This feature may vary depending on the model purchased.

After removing the carton and shipping material, lift the appliance off the foam base.

• Make sure the tub support the base and is not stuck to the bottom of the appliance.

• If you must lay the appliance down to remove the carton base appliance and lay it carefully on its side. Do not lay the appliance on its front or back.

Removing the Transit Bolt Assemblies

To prevent the appliance from severe vibration and breakage, remove transit bolts and retainers.

• Repairs to the appliance must only be carried out by qualified personnel. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact your local authorised LG repairer.

• The power plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet socket that is installed and

INSTALLATION

NOTE

Starting with the bottom two transit bolts a, use the spanner (included) to fully loosen all transit bolts by turning them counterclockwise.

Remove the bolt assemblies by wiggling them slightly while pulling them out.

• Locate the hole caps accessory pack or attached on the back.

included in the

• If the appliance rocks when pushing the top plate of the appliance diagonally, adjust the feet again.

• Check whether the appliance is perfectly level after installation.

• Timber or suspended type flooring may contribute to excessive vibration and unbalance. Reinforcement or bracing of the timber floor may need to be considered to stop or reduce excessive noise and vibration.

Adjusting and Levelling the Feet

When installing the appliance, the appliance should be aligned and perfectly level. If the appliance is not aligned and level properly, the appliance may be damaged or may not operate properly.

Turn the levelling feet as required if the floor is uneven.

• Do not insert pieces of wood etc. under the feet.

• Make sure that all four feet are stable and resting on the floor.

• Save the transit bolts and retainers for future use.

• Transport this appliance for the prevention of breakage as below:

- The transit bolts are reinstalled.

- The power cord is secured to the back of the

appliance.

Levelling the Appliance

Checking the Level

When pushing down the edges of the top plate diagonally, the appliance should not move up and down at all (check both directions).

NOTE

INSTALLATION

Using Anti-Slip Sheets

• Do not install the washing machine on a plinth, stand or elevated surface unless it is manufactured by LG Electronics for use with this model.

Check if the appliance is perfectly level using a spirit level

Secure the levelling feet with the lock nuts b by turning anti-clockwise against the bottom of the appliance.

This feature may vary depending on the model purchased.

If you install the appliance on a slippery surface, it may move because of excessive vibration. Incorrect levelling may cause malfunction through noise and vibration. If this occurs, install the antislip sheets under the levelling feet and adjust the level.

Clean the floor to attach the anti-slip sheets.

• Use a dry rag to remove and clean foreign objects and moisture. If moisture remains, the anti-slip sheets may slip.

Adjust the level after placing the appliance in the installation area.

Place the adhesive side a of the anti-slip sheets on the floor.

• The most effective way is to install the antislip sheets under the front feet. If it is difficult to place the sheets under the front feet of the appliance, attach them under the rear feet.

Check if all lock nuts at the bottom of the appliance are secured properly.

• Proper placement and levelling of the appliance will ensure long, regular, and reliable operation.

• The appliance must be 100% horizontal and stand firmly in position on a hard flat floor.

• It must not ‘Seesaw’ across corners under the load.

• Do not let the feet of the appliance get wet. Failure to do so may cause vibration or noise.

Put the appliance on the anti-slip sheets.

• Do not attach the adhesive side slip sheets to the feet of the appliance.

• Additional anti-slip sheets are available at LG Electronics service centre.
