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
• Install the appliance on a flat hard floor. (Allowable slope under the appliance: 1°)
• Never try to correct any unevenness in the floor with pieces of wood, cardboard or similar materials under the appliance.
• 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.
• With the appliance installed, adjust all four feet using the transit bolt spanner provided to ensure the appliance is stable, and a clearance of approximately 5 mm is left between the top of the appliance and the underside of any worktop.
• Additional clearance should have 100 mm for the wall and 20 mm for rear, right and left side.

WARNING
• This appliance must only be used for domestic household purposes and should not be used in mobile applications.
NOTE
• If the appliance is installed on a raised platform, it must be securely fastened in order to eliminate the risk of falling off.
Wooden Floors (Suspended Floors)
When installing the appliance on wooden floors, use rubber cups to prevent the appliance from excessive vibration and unbalance.
• To prevent vibration, we recommend you to place rubber cups a at least 15 mm thick to each foot of the appliance, secured to at least two floor beams with screws.
EN
10
100 mm
• 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
• You can purchase rubber cups (Par t No.4620ER4002B) from the LG Electronics service centre.
EN
• Connect the appliance to an earthed socket in accordance with current wiring regulations.
• The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is easily accessible.
• Repairs to the appliance must only be carried out by the qualified personnel. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact your LG Electronics service centre.
• Power outlet must be at least 1 meter of either side of the location of the appliance.
WARNING
• The power plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet socket that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Unpacking the Appliance
Ventilation
• Make sure that air circulation around the appliance should not be impeded by carpets, rugs, etc.
Ambient Temperature
• 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 inlet after use.
Lifting the Appliance Off the Foam Base
* This feature may vary depending on the model purchased.
After removing the carton and shipping
1
material, lift the appliance off the foam base. Make sure the tub support a* comes off with the base and is not stuck to the bottom of the appliance.
If you must lay the appliance down to remove
2
the carton base b, always protect the side of the appliance and lay it carefully on its side. Do not lay the appliance on its front or back.

Removing the Bolt Assemblies
Starting with the bottom two transit bolts a, use
1
the spanner (included) to fully loosen all transit bolts by turning them counterclockwise.
Remove the bolt assemblies by wiggling them

slightly while pulling them out.
Install the hole caps.

and vibration.
Do not install the washer on any elevated surface, stand or plinth as it can become unstable and fall causing serious injury and damage.
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.
Turn the levelling feet as required if the floor is
1
uneven.
• Do not insert pieces of wood etc. under the feet.
• Make sure that all four feet should be stable and resting on the floor.
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). If the appliance rocks when pushing the top plate of the appliance diagonally, adjust the feet again.
NOTE
Timber or suspended type flooring may contribute to excessive vibration and unbalance. Re enforcement or bracing of the timber floor may need to be considered to stop or reduce excessive noise
12
Check if the appliance is perfectly level using a
2
spirit level a.
EN
Secure the levelling feet with the lock nuts b by
3
turning counterclockwise against the bottom of the appliance.
Check if all lock nuts at the bottom of the
4
appliance are secured properly.
NOTE
• Proper placement and leveling of the appliance will ensure long, regular, and reliable operation.
• The appliance must be 100% horizontal and stand firmly in position.
• 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.
Using Anti-Slip Sheets
This feature may vary depending on the models purchased.
If you install the appliance on a slippery surface, it may move because of excessive vibration. Incorrect leveling may cause malfunction through noise and vibration. If this occurs, install the anti-slip sheets under the leveling feet and adjust the level.
Clean the floor to attach the anti-slip sheets.
1
• Use a dry rag to remove and clean foreign objects and moisture. If moisture remains, the anti-slip sheets may slip.
Place the adhesive side a of the anti-slip
3
sheets on the floor.
• The most effective way is to install the anti- slip sheets under the front feet. If it is difficult to place the sheets under the front feet of the appliance, attach them under the rear feet.
Put the appliance on the anti-slip sheets.
4
• Do not attach the adhesive side a of anti-slip sheets to the feet of the appliance.
NOTE
• Additional anti-slip sheets are available at LG Electronics service centre.
Connecting the Water Inlet Hose
Note for Connection
• Water pressure must be between 100 kPa and 800 kPa (1.0 – 8.0 kgf/cm²). If the water pressure is more than 800 kPa, a decompression device should be installed.
• Do not overtighten the water inlet hose to all valves.
• Periodically check the condition of the hose and replace the hose if necessary.
Adjust the level after placing the appliance in
2
the installation area.
13
Checking the Rubber Seal on the Water Inlet Hose
Two rubber seals a are supplied with the water inlet hoses. They are used for preventing water leaks. Ensure the washers are in place before connecting the inlet hose. Make sure the connection to taps is sufficiently tight. Do not use any mechanical device to overtighten the inlet hoses. Hand tighten only with the aid of a soft cloth if necessary. After both ends have been connected, open the taps slowly and check for leaks. The curved end of the inlet hose must be connected to the machine.
NOTE
• Before connecting the inlet hose to the water tap, turn on the water tap to flush out foreign substances (dirt, sand, sawdust, and etc.) in the water lines. Let the water drain into a bucket, and check the water temperature.
