Installation of drain hose

Adjustable feet

Adjustable feet

• Proper level-adjustment of the washing machine
prevents excessive noise and vibration. Install
the appliance on a solid and level fl oor surface,
preferably in a corner of the room.

• If the fl oor is uneven, adjust feet as required.
(Do not insert pieces of wood etc. under the
feet). Make sure that all four feet are stable and
resting on the fl oor. Then check that the appli­ance is perfectly level. (Use a spirit level).

■

Level adjustment

■ Wooden fl oors (Suspended fl oors)

• Wooden fl oors are particularly susceptible to vibration.

• To prevent vibration we recommend you place rubber cups under each foot, at
least 15mm thick under the washer, secured to at least 2 fl oor beams with screws.

• If possible install the washer in one of the corners of the room, where the fl oor is
more stable.

※

Insert the rubber cups to reduce vibration.

※

You can obtain the rubber cups (p/no.4620ER4002B) from the LG spares dept.

Transit bolts

Electrical connection

Connecting water supply hose

• The appliance is fi tted with transit bolts to prevent internal
damage during transport. Be careful, heavy load!

• Packing and all transit bolts must be removed before using
the washing machine.

• When unpacking the base, be sure to remove the additional
packing support in the middle of the base packing.

Store original packing for future move.
Dispose of packing material according to local regulations.

Unscrew the 4 bolts
using the spanner
supplied.

Keep the 4 bolts and the spanner for the future use. Refi t transit bolts before transporting the appliance.

Level fl oor: Permissible fl oor gradient under entire washing machine
is 1˚ .

Power socket: Must be within 100 cm of either side of location of
washing machine. Do not overload the socket with more than one
appliance.

Additional Clearance: For wall, fl oor and door space is needed.
(10cm: rear / 2cm:right & left side). Do not place or store laundry pro­ducts on top of the washing machine at any times. They can damage
the fi nish or controls of the machine.

1. Do not use an extension cord or double adapter.

2. Have damaged supply cords replaced by the manufacturer or its service agents or a similarly qualifi ed person
to prevent danger.

3. Always unplug the machine and turn off the water supply after use.

4. Connect the machine to an earthed socket in accordance with current wiring regulations.

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

• Repairs to the washing machine must only be carried out by qualifi ed personnel. Repairs carried out by inexpe-
rienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact your local service centre.

• Do not install your washing machine in rooms where temperature below freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may burst
under pressure. The electronic control unit may become unreliable at temperatures below freezing point.

• If the appliance is delivered in the winter months and temperatures are below freezing: Leave the washing machine
standing at room temperature for a few hours before putting it into operation.

• Two rubber seals are supplied with the water inlet
hoses. They are used for preventing water leaks.

• Make sure the connection to taps is tight enough.

• Periodically check the condition of the hose and
replace the hose if necessary.

• Make sure that there is no kink on the hose and
that it is not crushed.

Water supply pressure must be between 1.0-10 bar (100kPa~1000kPa)

Don’t strip or crossthread when connecting inlet hose to the valve.

If the water supply pressure is more than 1000kPa, a decompression
device should be installed.

Safety instuctions for the installation

Install or store appliance where it will not be exposed to sub-zero temperatures or exposed to the weather. Fit ground of the
washing machine correctly to conform with all statutory regulations and ordinances. Ensure that the base opening is free from
obstruction by carpeting if the washing machine is installed on a carpeted fl oor. In countries where there is a risk of cockroach
infestation or other vermin, pay particular attention to keep the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times.
Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin is not covered by the appliance guarantee.

CAUTION about positioning the appliance

Install the washing machine on a fl at hard fl oor. Make sure that air circulation around the washing machine is
not impeded by carpets, rug etc.

•

Never try to correct any unevenness in the fl oor using pieces of wood, cardboard or similar materials under the washing machine.

•

If it is not possible to position the washing machine away from a gas cooker or coal burning stove, an insulation panel
(85x60cm) covered with aluminum foil on the side facing the cooker or stove, must be inserted between the two appliances.

•

The washing machine must not be installed in rooms where the temperature may drop below 0°C.

•

Please ensure that when the washing machine is installed an engineer can gain easy access in the event of a breakdown.

•

Adjust all four feet using the transit bolt spanner provided to ensure that the appliance is stable, with 20mm clearnace between
the top of the washing machine and underside of the worktop.

CAUTION about the power cord

We recommend connecting most appliances to a dedicated circuit. That is, a single outlet supplying power only to the appliance
concerned, without any additional outlets or branch circuits. Check the specifi cations of this owner‘s manual. Do not overload
wall sockets. Overloaded wall sockets, loose or damaged wall sockets or extension cords, frayed power cords, damaged or
cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these conditions could result in electric shock or fi re. Periodically examine the cord
of your appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance, and have
the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized servicer. Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical
abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, squashed in a jamb of a door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs,
wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits the appliance. We recommend to use a residual current operated
device in the mains supply.

CAUTION about location and moving

This equipment is not designed for maritime use or for use mobile installations such as caravans, aircraft etc. Turn off the stop-
cock if the machine is to be left for any length of time (e.g. if you are going on holiday), especially if there is no fl oor drain (gully)
in the immediate vicinity. If relocating the appliance use the original packing material. Disable the door lock to prevent young
children becoming trapped inside. Packaging material (e.g. plastic fi lm, Styrofoam) can be dangerous for children. There is a risk
of suffocation! Keep all packaging well away from children.

CAUTION about the fl oor surface

• The installation surface must be clean, dry and level.

• Install washing machine on a fl at hard fl oor.

• Proper placement and levelling of the washing machine ensure long, regular and reliable operation.

• The washing machine must be perfectly level and fi rmly in position.

• It must not “see-saw” across corners under load.

• The installation surface must be clean, free from fl oor wax and other lubricant coatings.

• Do not allow the feet of the washing machine to get wet. If feet of the washing machine get wet, slipping may occur.
