be exposed to the weather.

• Do not tamper with controls.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the washer
or attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in the user-maintenance
instructions or published user-repair instructions
that you understand and have the skills to carry
out.

• Keep the area underneath and around your
appliances free of combustible materials such as
lint, paper, rags, chemicals, etc.

• Close supervision is necessary if this appliance
is used by or near children.

Do not allow children to play on, with, or inside
this or any other appliance.

• Do not leave the washer door open.
An open door could entice children to hang on

• Never reach into washer while it is moving. Wait
until the drum has completely stopped.

• The laundry process can reduce the flame
retardant of fabrics.

• Do not wash or dry articles that have been
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with
combustible or explosive substances (such as

wax, oil, paint, gasoline, degreasers, dry­cleaning solvents, kerosene, etc.) which may
ignite or explode. Oil may remain in the tub after
a whole cycle resulting in fire during drying.
So, do not load oiled clothes.

• To avoid such a result, carefully follow the
garment manufacturer’s wash and care
instructions.

• Do not slam the washer door closed or try to
force the door open when locked. This could
result in damage to the washer.

• To minimize the possibility of electric shock,
unplug this appliance from the power supply or
disconnect the washer at the household
distribution panel by removing the fuse or
switching off the circuit breaker before
attempting any maintenance or cleaning.

• Never attempt to operate this appliance if it is
damaged, malfunctioning, partially
disassembled, or has missing or broken parts,
including a damaged cord or plug.

• Dryer is intended for only drying textile material.

• 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.

• If you don’t have the proper outlet, consult an electrician.

To minimize the risk of fire in a tumble dryer, the following should be observed:

• Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire
hazard and should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

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 creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can
become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected 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-this will reduce, but not eliminate, the
hazard. Washed in hot water with extra detergent-this will reduce, but not
eliminate, the hazard. The ‘cool down’ cycle of tumble dryers should be used to
reduce the temperature of the items. They should not be removed from the tumble
dryer or piled or stacked while hot.

• Items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with

petrol/gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances
should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Highly flammable substances commonly used in domestic environments include
acetone, denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene, spot removers (some
brands), turpentine, waxes and was removers.

• Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly testured rubber.

like materials should not be dried in a tumble dryer on a heat setting.
Foam rubber materials can, when heated, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.

• Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate

the effects of static electricity unless this practice is specifically recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

• Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in a tumble

dryer.

Damage to the tumble dryer can result if metal reinforcements come loose during
drying. When available a drying rack could be used for such items.

• Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies waterproof napkin covers should not

be placed in a tumble dryer.

• Rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and

rubber-coated tennis shoes should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

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.

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.

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.

It can be purchased from
hardware suppliers.

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.

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.

• Pre treat dirt and stains by brushing a little
detergent dissolved in water onto stains like
collars and cuffs to help shift dirt.

• Close zippers, hooks and strings to make
sure that these items don’t snag on other
clothes.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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
manufacturer’s recommendation.
Part load : 3/4 of the normal amount.
Minimum load : 1/2 of full load.
