the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized servicer.
Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being fwisted, 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.
If The appliance is supplied from a cord extension set or an electrical portable outlet device, the cord
extension set on electrical portable outlet device must be positioned so that it is not subject to
splashing or ingress of moisture.

I Washing Machine is to be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets and old hose-sets should

not be used.

I Connecting water supply hose

► Water supply pressure must be between 30kPa and lOOOkPa

(0.3~I0kgf/cm^)

► Don't strip or crossthread when connecting Inlet hose to the

valve.

► If the water supply pressure is more than lOOOkPa, a

decompression device should be installed.

• 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.

EQiy After completing connection, if water leaks from the hose, repeat the same steps. Use the most conventional type

of faucet for water supply. In case the faucet is square or too big, remove the spacing ring before inserting the

nstallation

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.

iii 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 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 Insert the rubber cups to reduce vibration.
)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.
