)
Don’t strip or crossthread when connecting Inlet hose to the valve.
If the water supply pressure is more than 1000kPa, 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.
Washing Machine is to be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets and old hose-sets should not be used.
Connecting water supply hose

If the appliance is delivered in the winter months and temperatures are below freezing : Place the washing machine at room temperature for a few hours before putting it into operation.
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.
CAUTION
NOTE
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 faucet into the adaptor.

Level adjustment
Concrete floors
Wooden floors (Suspended floors)
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.
• 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 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.
Insert the rubber cups to reduce vibration.
You can obtain the rubber cups (p/no.4620ER4002B) from the LG svc 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.
Timber or suspended type flooring may contribute to excessive vibration and unbalance errors.
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
Caring before washing
Before the first washing
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.
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.
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.

• The 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.
• Use powder detergent only for the front loading washer.
If suds occur too much, pleas 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.
4. Water softener
A water softener, such as Anti limescale (Clagon) 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.
Tips Full load : according to manufacturers recommendation. Part load : 3/4 of the normal amount. Minimum load : 1/2 of full load.
Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the beginning of the cycle.
