bottom of the appliance.

• If you must lay the appliance down to

remove the carton base

, always

protect the side of the 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.

Starting with the bottom two transit

bolts

, 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.

Install the hole caps.

• Locate the hole caps

included in

the accessory pack or attached on

the back.

NOTE

• 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.

INSTALLATION

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).

• 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.

NOTE

• 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.

NOTE

• 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

by turning anti-clockwise

against the bottom of the appliance.

Check if all lock nuts at the bottom of

the appliance are secured properly.

NOTE

• Proper placement and levelling of the

appliance will ensure long, regular,

and reliable operation.

INSTALLATION

NOTE

• 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.

Using Anti-Slip Sheets

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

anti-slip 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

of the anti-

slip sheets on the floor.

• The most effective way is to install

the anti-slip 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.

Put the appliance on the anti-slip

sheets.

• Do not attach the adhesive side

of anti-slip sheets to the feet of the

appliance.

NOTE

• Additional anti-slip sheets are available

at LG Electronics service centre.

Connecting the Water

Supply Hose

Note for Connection

• Water pressure must be between

kPa

and

800 kPa

(0.5‒8.0 kgf/cm²). If

the water pressure is more than

800

kPa

, a decompression device should

be installed.

• Periodically check the condition of the

water supply hose and replace the

water supply hose if necessary.

NOTE

• Do not overtighten the water supply

hose or use mechanical devices to

tighten onto the inlet valves.

INSTALLATION

• No further backflow protection

required for connection to the water

inlet.

Checking the Rubber Seal

Two rubber seals

are supplied with

the water supply hose. They are used to

prevent water leaks. Connection to taps

is sufficiently tight.

• Do not use mechanical devices such as

multi grips to tighten the water supply

hose. Ensure that the curved end of

the water supply hose is connected to

the appliance.

Connecting the Hose to the

Water Tap

Connecting Screw-Type Hose to Tap

with Thread

Screw the supply hose connector onto

the water supply tap. Hand tighten only

with the aid of a soft cloth. Do not

overtighten the supply hose with any

mechanical device.

NOTE

• After connecting the water inlet hose

to the water tap, turn on the water tap

to flush out foreign substances (dirt,

sand, sawdust, and etc.) in the water

lines. Let the water drain into a bucket,

and check the water temperature.

Connecting the Hose to the

Appliance

Screw the supply hose to the water inlet

valve on the back of the appliance.

• Do not connect the hose to the hot

water supply for models with one

water inlet. Connect to the cold water

supply only.

NOTE

• After completing connection, if water

leaks from the hose, repeat the same

steps. Use the most conventional type

of tap for the water supply. In case that

the tap is square or too big, remove

the guide plate before inserting the

tap into the adaptor.

• Make sure that the hose should not be

kinked or trapped.

INSTALLATION

Installing the Drain

Hose

Installing the Drain Hose with

the Elbow Bracket

The drain hose should not be placed

higher than

100 cm

above the floor.

Water in the appliance may not drain or

may drain slowly.

• Securing the drain hose correctly will

protect the floor from damage due to

water leakage.

• If the drain hose is too long, do not

force it back into the appliance. This

will cause abnormal noise.

• When installing the drain hose to a

sink, secure it tightly with string.
