Using Anti-Slip Sheets (Optional)

If you install the appliance on a slippery surface, it may move because of excessive vibration. Incorrect leveling may cause malfunction through noise and vibration. If this occurs, install the anti-slip sheets under the leveling feet and adjust the level.

Clean the oor to attach the anti-slip sheets.

• Use a dry rag to remove and clean foreign objects and moisture. If moisture remains, the anti-slip sheets may slip.

Adjust the level after placing the appliance in

the installation area.

Place the adhesive side of the anti-slip

sheets on the oor.

• It is most effective to install the anti-slip

sheets under the front legs. If it is difcult to

place the pads under the front legs, place them under the back legs.

This side up

Adhesive side

Ensure the appliance is level.

• Push or rock the top edges of the appliance gently to make sure that the appliance does not rock. If the appliance rocks, level the appliance again.

Wooden Floors (Suspended Floors)

• Wooden oors are particularly susceptible to vibration.

• To prevent vibration we recommend you place rubber cups at least 15 mm thick of the each foot of the appliance, secured to at least two

oor beams with screws.

Rubber Cup

• If possible install the appliance in one of the

corners of the room, where the oor is more

stable.

• Fit the rubber cups to reduce vibration.

NOTE

• Proper placement and leveling of the washing machine will ensure long, regular, and reliable operation.

• The washing machine must be 100%

horizontal and stand rmly in position.

• It must not ‘Seesaw’ across corners under the load.

• The installation surface must be clean, free

from oor wax and other lubricant coatings.

• Do not let the feet of the washing machine get wet. Failure to do so may cause vibration or noise.

• You can obtain rubber cups (p/no.4620ER4002B) from the LG Service Centre.

NOTE

• You can obtain anti-slip sheets from the LG Service Centre.

Leveling the Appliance

If the oor is uneven, turn 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 oor and then check that the

appliance is perfectly level (Use a spirit level).

• Once the appliance is level, tighten the lock nuts up towards the base of the appliance. All lock nuts must be tightened.

Diagonal Check

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

NOTE

• Timber or suspended type ooring may contribute to excessive vibration and unbalance.

• If the washing machine is installed on a raised platform, it must be securely fastened in order to eliminate the risk of falling off.

Connecting the Water Supply Hose

• Water pressure must be between 0.1 MPa and

1.0 MPa (1.0‒10.0 kgf/cm2).

• Do not strip or crossthread when connecting supply hose to the valve.

• If the water pressure is more than 1.0 MPa, a decompression device should be installed.

• Periodically check the condition of the hose and replace the hose if necessary.

Checking the Rubber Seal on the Water Supply Hose

Two rubber seals are supplied with the water inlet hoses. They are used for preventing water leaks. Make sure the connection to taps is

sufciently tight.
