and unload clothing more easily.

 Steam Washing and Refresh

Steam Washing features upgraded washing performance with low energy and

water consumption. Refresh Cycle removes wrinkles from dry clothes.

 RollerJets

Washing ball enhances the wash performance and reduces damage

to the clothing. The jets spray and help tumble clothes to enhance

washing performance while maintaining fabric care.

 Automatic Wash Load Detection

Automatically detects the load and optimizes the washing time.

 Built-in Heater

Internal heater helps to maintain water temperature at its optimum level for selected

cycles.

 Child Lock

The Child lock prevents children from pressing any button to change the settings

• If the washer has been exposed to water, call an

authorized service provider to avoid any risk of

fire or electric shock.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk

of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with

a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an

appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinance.

• Do not use an adapter or otherwise defeat the grounding plug.

Electrical connection

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 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.

If this appliance is supplied from a cord extension set or electrical portable outlet device, the cord

extension set or electrical portable outlet device must be positioned so that it is not subject to

splashing or ingress of moisture.

 Installation of drain hose

• The end of the drain hose should not be

placed higher than 100 cm above the floor.

• Proper securing of the drain hose will

protect the floor from damage due to water

leakage.

• When the drain hose is too long, do not

force back into the washer. This will cause

abnormal noise, malfunction, and water

leakage.

• When installing the drain hose to a sink,

secure it tightly with a string.

• Proper securing of the drain hose will protect

the floor from damage due to water leakage

should the drain hose become loose.

This equipment is not designed for maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as

caravans, aircraft etc.

Turn off the tap if the machine is to be left for any length of time (e.g. holiday), especially if there

is no floor drain(gully) in the immediate vicinity.

When disposing of the appliance, cut off the mains cable, and destroy the Plug.

Disable the door lock to prevent young children being trapped inside.

Packaging material (e.g. Films, Styrofoam) can be dangerous for children. There is a risk of

suffocation ! Keep all packaging well away from children

 Concrete floors

 Wooden floors (Suspended 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 are particularly susceptible to vibration.

• To reduce, 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.

※※

Insert the rubber cups to reduce vibration.

※※

Rubber cups ( p/no. 4620ER4002B ) can be purchased from the LG spare parts department.

Important!

• Proper placement and levelling of the washer ensures 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.

※

It can be purchased from

hardware suppliers.

 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.

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)

※※

After the washer is level, tighten the lock nuts up towards of 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 of two directions)

If machine rocks when pushing the machine top plate diagonally, adjust the feet again.

NOTE

Timber or suspended type flooring may contribute to excessive

vibration and unblance errors.

NOTE

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.

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) 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.

 Caring 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 from the drum that may have been left during manufacturing.

• 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.

• Do not be stuck between the door and the

glass.

• Pre treat dirt and stains by brushing a little

detergent dissolved in water onto stains like

collars and cuffs to help shift dirt.

• If you wash underwear, use the wash cloth

bag. If you don’t use the wash cloth bag while

washing the underwear, wires in the bra may

make a noise.
