INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CHOOSE THE PROPER LOCATION
WARNING
y Two or more people are required when moving, unpack-
ing, and stacking the washer. Failure to follow this warning
may result in damage to property or serious bodily harm.
y Store and install the washer where it will not be exposed
to weather or to temperatures below freezing. Failure to
follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric
shock, or death.
y Properly ground the washer to conform with all electric
governing codes and ordinances. Failure to follow this
warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or
death.
y To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not install the wash-
er in humid spaces. Failure to follow this warning can cause
serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
y To ensure proper air flow, do not block the large opening on
the bottom of the washer with carpeting or other materials.
y Do not remove the ground prong. Do not use a 2-prong
adapter or 2-wire extension cord. Failure to follow these
warnings can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or
death.
CAUTION
y This pedestal washer must be installed underneath
a matching front-loading LG washing machine manufactured after 2009. (The 29" wide machine must be
stacked under a 29" wide LG front-loading washer. The
27" wide machine must be stacked under a 27" wide
LG front-loading washer.)
y The pedestal washer will not work as a standalone unit.
y The pedestal washer must be stacked under an LG
brand appliance in order to operate properly.
POWER OUTLET
y The power outlet must be within 60 in. (1.5 m) of
either side of the washer.
y The appliance and outlet must be positioned so
that the plug is easily accessible.
FLOORING
y To minimize noise and vibration, the washer MUST be
installed on a solidly constructed floor.
y Allowable slope under the entire washer is a maximum 1
inch. difference from side to side or from front to back.
y Installing on carpeting and soft tile surfaces is not
recommended.
y Never install the washer on a platform or weakly supported
structure.
NOTE: The washer must be installed on firm flooring to minimize
vibration during the spin cycle. Concrete flooring is best, but a
wood floor is sufficient, provided it is built to FHA standards. The
washer should not be installed on rugs or exposed to weather.
Do not use a drip pan as it can block the drawer. Using the drip
pan may result in increased vibration and noise during operation.
