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.

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.
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.
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.
Concrete floors
•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 (Suspended floors)
Rubber Cup
• 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. 4620ER4002A) 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.
