SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not plug the appliance into multiple outlet sockets, power boards,
or an extension power cable.
7
• Do not modify the power plug provided with the appliance. If it does
not fit the power outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
• This appliance is equipped with a power cord having an equipmentearthing / grounding conductor (earthing pin) and a grounding
power plug. The power plug must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet socket that is installed and earthed / grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or
service personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.

thinner, petroleum, insecticide, air freshener, cosmetics, etc.) near
the appliance.
• Never reach into the appliance while it is operating. Wait until the
drum has completely stopped.
• Do not touch the door during a high temperature programme.
• In case of a water leak from the appliance or flood, disconnect the
power plug and contact the LG Electronics customer information
centre.
• Turn off water taps to relieve pressure on hoses and valves and to
minimize leakage if a break or rupture should occur. Check the
condition of the fill hoses; they should be replaced after 5 years.
• If there is a gas leakage (isobutane, propane, natural gas, etc.) within
the home, do not touch the appliance or power plug and ventilate the

INSTALLATION
Installation Place Requirements
Before installing the appliance, check the following
information to make sure that the appliance
should be installed in a correct place.
Installation Location
• This appliance must be installed on firm flooring
to minimize vibration during the spin cycle.
Concrete flooring is best, being far less prone to
vibration during the spin cycle than wooden
floorboards or a carpeted surface.
• If it is impossible to avoid positioning the
appliance next to a gas cooker or coal burning
stove, an insulation (850 X 600 mm) covered with
aluminum foil on the side facing the cooker or
stove must be inserted between the two
appliances.
• Ensure that when the appliance is installed, it is
easily accessible for an engineer in the event of a
breakdown.
• When installing the appliance, adjust all four feet
using the transit bolt spanner provided to
ensure the appliance is stable.
• Ensure that there is enough room for full
opening of the appliance door.
• To ensure sufficient clearance for water inlet
hoses, drain hose and airflow, allow minimum
clearances of at least 20 mm at the sides and 100
mm behind the appliance. Be sure to allow for
wall, door, or floor moldings that may increase
the required clearances.

• This appliance must only be used for domestic
household purposes and should not be used in
mobile applications.

Wooden Floors (Suspended Floors)
When installing the appliance on wooden floors,
use rubber cups to reduce excessive vibration and
unbalance. Timber or suspended type flooring may
contribute to excessive vibration and unbalance,
errors and malfunction.
• To reduce vibration, we recommend placing at
least 15 mm thickness of rubber cups
each adjusting foot of the appliance, secured to
at least two floor beams with screws.
• 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.

• Do not install the appliance in rooms where
freezing temperatures may occur. Frozen hoses
may burst under pressure. The reliability of the
electronic control unit may be impaired at
temperatures below freezing point.
• 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.
Electrical Connection
• Do not use an extension cord or double adapter.
• Always unplug the appliance and turn off the
water supply after use.
• Connect the appliance to an earthed socket in
accordance with current wiring regulations.

• If the appliance rocks when pushing the top
plate of the appliance diagonally, adjust the feet
again.
• Check whether the appliance is perfectly level
after installation.
• Timber or suspended type flooring may
contribute to excessive vibration and unbalance.
Reinforcement or bracing of the timber floor
may need to be considered to stop or reduce
excessive noise and vibration.
• Never try to level any uneven floor by putting
pieces of wood, cardboard or similar materials
under the appliance.
Adjusting and Levelling the Feet
When installing the appliance, the appliance
should be aligned and perfectly level. If the
appliance is not aligned and level properly, the
appliance may be damaged or may not operate
properly.
• Save the transit bolts and retainers for future
use.
• Transport this appliance for the prevention of
breakage as below:
- The transit bolts are reinstalled.
- The power cord is secured to the back of the
appliance.
Levelling the Appliance
Checking the Level
When pushing down the edges of the top plate
diagonally, the appliance should not move up and
down at all (check both directions).

• Make sure that all four feet are stable and
resting on the floor.
• Do not install the washing machine on a plinth,
stand or elevated surface unless it is
manufactured by LG Electronics for use with this
model.
3
Secure the levelling feet with the lock nuts b
by turning anti-clockwise against the bottom of
the appliance.
4
Check if all lock nuts at the bottom of the
appliance are secured properly.
• Proper placement and levelling of the appliance
will ensure long, regular, and reliable operation.
• The appliance must be 100% horizontal and
stand firmly in position on a hard flat floor.
• It must not ‘Seesaw’ across corners under the
load.
• Do not let the feet of the appliance get wet.
Failure to do so may cause vibration or noise.

This feature may vary depending on the model
purchased.
If you install the appliance on a slippery surface, it
may move because of excessive vibration.
Incorrect levelling may cause malfunction through
noise and vibration. If this occurs, install the antislip sheets under the levelling feet and adjust the
level.
1
Clean the floor to attach the anti-slip sheets.
• Use a dry rag to remove and clean foreign
objects and moisture. If moisture remains,
the anti-slip sheets may slip.
2
Adjust the level after placing the appliance in
the installation area.
