Technical Safety
•Do not dry unwashed items in the appliance.
•Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking
oil, vegetable oil, acetone, alcohol, petroleum, kerosene, spot
removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed
in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in
the appliance.
•Never stop the appliance before the end of the drying cycle unless
all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is
dissipated.
•Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof
textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or pillows tted with
foam rubber pads should not be dried in the appliance.
•Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specied
by the fabric softener instructions.
•Remove all objects from pockets such as keys, tissues, coins,
lighters and matches before operating the machine.
•The appliance is not to be used if industrial chemicals have been
used for cleaning.
•Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when
exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The items
become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation
create heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot
enough to catch re. Piling, stacking or storing oilaffected items can
prevent heat from escaping and so create a re hazard.
•If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking
oil or have been contaminated by hair care products be placed in
a tumble dryer they should rst be washed in hot water with extra
detergent.
10

• With the appliance installed, adjust all four
feet using the transit bolt spanner to ensure
the appliance is stable, and a clearance of
approximately 5 mm is left between the top
of the appliance and the underside of any
work-top.
• If the appliance is delivered in winter and
temperatures are below freezing, place the
appliance at room temperature for a few hours
before putting it into operation.

Unpacking and Removing
Transit Bolts
Lift the appliance off the foam base.
1
• After removing the carton and shipping
material, lift the appliance off the foam
base. Make sure the tub support comes off
with the base and is not stuck to the bottom
of the appliance.
• If you must lay the appliance down to
remove the carton base, always protect the
side of the appliance and lay it carefully
on its side. Do not lay the appliance on its
front or back.
Tub Support
(Optional)
Carton base
• Install the hole caps (optional).
3
• Locate the hole caps included in the
accessory pack or attached on the back.
Cap
(Optional)
NOTE
• Save the bolt assemblies for future use. To
prevent damage to internal components, Do
not transport the washing machine without
reinstalling the transit bolts.
• Failure to remove transit bolts and retainers
will cause severe vibration and noise, which
can lead to permanent damage to the washing
machine. The cord is secured to the back of
the washing machine with a transit bolt to
help prevent operation with transit bolts still in
place.
Remove all of the rear transit bolt
2
assemblies.
• Starting with the bottom two transit
bolts, use the spanner (included) to fully
loosen all transit bolts by turning them
counterclockwise. Remove the bolt
assemblies by wiggling them slightly while
pulling them out.

EN
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

NOTE
• Timber or suspended type ooring may
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.
1
• 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
2
the installation area.
Place the adhesive side of the anti-slip
3
sheets on the oor.
• It is most effective to install the anti-slip
sheets under the front legs. If it is difcult to
place the pads under the front legs, place
them under the back legs.
Ensure the appliance is level.
4
• 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.

Adhesive side
Wooden Floors (Suspended
Floors)
• Wooden oors are particularly susceptible to
vibration.
• To help prevent vibration we recommend you
place rubber cups at least 15 mm thick under
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 help ensure long, regular, and
reliable operation.
• The washing machine must be 100%
horizontal and stand rmly in position.
• It must not ‘Seesaw’ diagonally across the
corners or rock in any way when in position.
• 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 an LG Service Centre.
NOTE
• You can obtain anti-slip sheets from an LG
Centre or Hardware store.

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.
Connecting Supply Hose
• Water supply pressure must be between 0.1
MPa and 0.8 MPa (100 kPa - 800 kPa).
• Do not overtighten the water supply hoses.
• If the water supply pressure is more than 800
kPa, a decompression device or pressure
limiting valve should be installed.
• Periodically check the condition of the hoses
and replace the hoses if necessary.
Checking the Rubber Seal on the
Supply Hoses
Two rubber seals are supplied with each of the
water inlet hoses. They are used for preventing
water leaks. Make sure the connection to taps is
sufciently tight. Do not over tighten the hoses
or use any mechanical implements to tighten
them.

Installing the Drain Hose
• The drain hose should not be placed higher
than 100 cm above the oor. Water in the
appliance may not drain or may drain slowly.
• Securing the drain hose correctly will protect
the oor from damage due to water leakage.
• If the drain hose is too long, do not force
it back into the appliance. This will cause
abnormal noise and water leakage.
