 Jumbo drum

LG’s jumbo drum can wash about 40% more load than conventional washing machines. A bigger drum improves the wash performance.

 More economical by Intelligent Wash System

Intelligent Wash System detects the amount of load and water temperature, and then determines the optimum water level and washing time to minimize energy and water consumption.

 Direct Drive System

The advanced Brushless DC motor rotates the Drum directly without belt and pulley.

 Child-Lock

The Child-Lock system has been used to prevent children from pressing any button to change the program during operation.

 Low noise speed control system

By sensing the amount of load and balance, it evenly distributes load to minimize the spinning noise level.

 Auto Restart

If the washing machine is turned off by a power failure, it will restart automatically from the position it stopped at adjusting accordingly.

Wooden 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.

• Before placing the washer on tiles, apply a rubber mat under the feet. Do not let the feet of the washer get wet. If feet of the washer get wet, slipping may occur.

• 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.4620ER3001B) from the LG spares dept.
