••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 fire. Piling, stacking or storing oilaffected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire 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 first be washed in hot water with extra detergent.

Wooden Floors (Suspended Floors)

••Wooden floors 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 floor beams with screws.

Rubber Cup

••If possible install the appliance in one of the corners of the room, where the floor 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 firmly 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 floor 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.

Leveling the Appliance

If the floor 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 floor 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.

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.
