CAUTION
CAUTION concerning the Power cord
Most appliances recommend they be placed upon a dedicated circuit; that is, a single outlet circuit which powers only that appliance and has no additional outlets or branch circuits. Check the specification page of this owner's manual to be certain.
Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these conditions could result in an electric shock or fire. 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, closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits the appliance.
CAUTION

Leveling
Raise Lower
Lock Nut
Tighten all 4 locknuts securely
1. Leveling the washing machine properly
prevents excessive noise and vibration. Install the appliance on a solid and level floor surface, preferably in a corner of the room.
Timber or suspended type flooring may contribute to excessive vibration and unbalance.
2. If the floor is uneven, turn the adjustable 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 floor and then check that the appliance is perfectly level. (use a spirit level)
Once the washer is level, tighten the lock
• nuts up towards the base of the washer. All lock nuts must be tightened.
Diagonal Check
• When pushing down the edges of the washing machine top plate diagonally, the machine should not move up and down at all (Please, check both directions). If machine rocks when pushing the machine top plate diagonally, adjust the feet again.
If the washing machine is installed on a raised platform, it must be securely fastened in order to eliminate the risk of falling off.

Concrete floors
• The installation surface must be clean, dry and level.
• Install washer on a flat hard floor.
Tile floors (Slippery floors)
• Position each foot on the Tread Mate and level the machine to suit. (Cut Tread Mate into 70x70 mm sections and stick the pieces on to the dry tile where machine is to be placed.)
• Tread Mate is a self adhesive material used on ladders & steps that prevents slipping.
Wooden floors (Suspended floors)
Wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration.
• To prevent vibration we recommend you place rubber cups under
• each foot under washer at least 15mm thick, secured to at least 2 floor beams with screws. If possible install the washer in one of the corners of the room, where the floor is more stable.
• Fit the rubber cups to reduce vibration.
You can obtain the rubber cups (p/no.4620ER4002B) from the LG spares dept.
Rubber Cup
Proper placement and levelling of the washer will ensure long, regular and reliable
• operation. The washer must be 100% horizontal and stand firmly in position.
• It must not “Seesaw” across corners under load.
• The installation surface must be clean, free from floor wax and other lubricant
• coatings.

1. Care Labels
Look for a care label on your clothes. This will tell you about the fabric content of your garment and how it should be washed.
2. Sorting
To get the best results, sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle. Water temperature and spin speed and different fabrics need to be washed in different ways. Always sort dark colors from pale colors and whites. Wash separately as dye and lint transfer can occur causing discolouration of white etc. If possible, do not wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled one.
• Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light) Separate clothes according to amount of soil.
• Color (White, Lights, Darks) Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.
• Lint (Lint producers, Collectors) Wash lint producers and lint collectors separately.
3. Caring before loading
Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first. Large items should not be more than half the total wash load. Do not wash single items. This may cause an out-of-balance load. Add one or two similar items.
• Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty. Items such as nails, hair clip, matches, pens, coins and keys can damage both your washer and your clothes.
• Close zippers, hooks and strings to make sure that these items don’t snag on other clothes.
• Pre treat dirt and stains by brushing a little detergent dissolved in water onto stains like collars and cuffs to help lift dirt.
• Check the folds of the flexible gasket (gray) and remove any small articles.
• Check inside of the drum and remove any item from a previous wash.
• Remove any clothing or items from the flexible gasket to prevent clothing and gasket damage.
Before the first wash, select a cycle (Cotton 60°C, add a half load of detergent) allow the unit to wash without clothing. This will remove residues and water from the drum that may have been left during manufacturing.
