Level adjustment

1. Adjusting the washing machine level 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 unblance errors.

2. If the floor is uneven, adjust 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)

jS! After the washer is level, tighten the lock nuts up towards of the base of the washer.

All lock nuts must be tightened.

In the case that the washing machine is installed on a raised
platform, it must be securely fastened in order
to eliminate the risk that it might fall off.

machine should not move up and down at all. (Please, check both of two directions)
If machine rocks when pushing the machine top plate diagonally, adjust the feet
again.

■ Concrete floors

• The installation surface must be dean, 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.)

)K 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, (
at least 15mm thick under the washer, 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,

Rubber Cup

)K You can obtain the rubber cups (plno.4620ER4002B) from the LG spares dept.

Important!

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

• The washer must be absolutely 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.

• Do not let the feet of the washer get wet. If feet of the washer get wet, slipping may occur.

are before washing

Before the first washing

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.

Caring before washing

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 discoloration of white etc. If possible, do not wash heavily soiled items with lightly
soiled one.

Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light)
Color (White, Lights, Darks)
Lint (Lint producers, Collectors)

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.

.............................

.............................

....................

Separate clothes according to amount of soil.

Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.

Wash lint producers and lint collectors

separately.

• 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 shift dirt.

• Check the folds of the flexible gasket (gray) and

remove any small articles,if any.

• Check inside of the drum and remove any left

items in it for next wash cycle.

• Remove any clothing or items on the flexible
gasket to prevent clothing and the gasket
damages.

lidding detergent

3. Detergent dosage

• Detergent should be used according to the instruction of the detergent manufacture.

• If too much detergent is used, too many suds can occur and this will decrease the washing
result or cause heavy load to the motor.

• It is recommended that you use powdered detergent for best results.

• If you wish to use liquid detergent follow guidelines provided by the detergent manufacturer.

• You can pour liquid detergent directly into the main detergent drawer if you are starting the
cycle immediately.

• Please do not use liquid detergent if you are using 'time delay ' as the liquid may harden, or if
you have selected 'PRE-wash‘.

• If too many suds occur, please reduce the detergent amount.

• Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and soil
level of the load. For best results, avoid oversudsing.

Do not let the detergent harden.
Doing so may lead to blockages, poor rinse performance or bad odor.

t • Full load ; according to manufacturer’s recommendation.

• Part load : 3/4 of the normal amount.

NOTE

• Minimum load : 1/2 of full load.

• Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the beginning of the cycle.

4. Adding water softener

• A water softener, such as Anti-limescale (e.g.
Calgon) can be used to cut down on the use of
detergent in extremely hard water areas.

Dispense according to the amount specified on

the packaging.

First add detergent and then the water softener.

• Use the quantity of detergent as for soft water.

roubleshooting guide

^ SmartDiagnosis™ function is available only for the products with a SmartDIagnosis™ mark.

NOTE In case of a mobile phone with static option, the smart diagnosis function might not operate.

■ Using SmartDiagnosis™

• Only use this feature when instructed to do so by the call center.
The transmission sounds similar to a fax machine, and so has no meaning except to the call
center.

♦ SmartDiagnosiscannot be activated it the washer does not power up.

If this happens, then troubleshooting must be done without SmartDiagnosis^^'^.

If you experience problems with your washer, call to Customer information center.
Follow the call center agent's instructions, and do the following steps when requested:

1. Press the Power button to turn on the washer.
Do not press any other buttons or turn the cycle
selector knob.

2. When instructed to do so by the call center,
place the mouthpiece of your phone very close

to the Power button.

3. Press and hold the “Temp." button for three seconds, while holding the phone
mouthpiece to the icon or Power button.

4. Keep the phone in place until the tone transmission has finished.
This takes about 17 seconds, and the display will count down the time.

• For best results, do not move the phone while the tones are being transmitted.

• If the call center agent is not able to get an accurate recording of the data, you may be

asked to try again.

• Pressing the Power button during the transmission will shut off the SmartDiagnosis™.

5. Once the countdown is over and the tones have stopped, resume your conversation with
the call center agent, who will then be able to assist you using the information transmitted
for analysis at the call to Customer information center.

♦ Smart Diagnosis is a troubleshooting feature designed to assist, not replace, the traditional method of

troubleshooting through service calls. The effectiveness of this feature depends upon various factors,
including, but not limited to, the reception of the cellular phone being used for transmission, any
external noise that may be present during the transmission, and the acoustics of the room where the
machine is located.

Accordingly, LG does not guarantee that Smart Diagnosis would accurately troubleshoot any given
