Illustration of a single washing machine with front panel and side legs (no text or symbols)

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.

NOTE Timber or suspended type flooring may contribute to excessive vibration and unbalance errors.

1. If the floor is uneven, adjust the adjustable leg as required. (do not insert pieces of wood etc. under the legs) Make sure that all four legs are stable and resting on the floor and then check that the appliance is perfectly level. (use a spirit level)

※ After the washer is levelled, tighten all lock nuts up towards the base of the washer.

NOTE In the case 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 legs 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 leg 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)

• Wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration.
  • To prevent vibration we recommend you place rubber cups under each leg, 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.4620ER4002B) from the LG spares dept.

Rubber Cup

Important!

• Proper placement and levelling of the washer ensure 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 legs of the washer get wet. If legs of the washer get wet, slipping may occur.

■ Before the first washing

Select a cycle (Cotton 60°C, add a half load of detergent) allow the unit to wash without clothing. This will remove residues and water from the drum that may have been left during manufacturing.

■ Caring before washing

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

■ 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.

- 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.

• Solvents(benzene etc) are not allowable.

NOTE Do not pour fabric softener directly on the cloths

dding detergent

3. Detergent dosage

• The detergent should be used according to the instruction of the detergent manufacturer.
- 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.
- It is recommended that you use powdered detergent for best results.
- If you wish to use liquid detergent follow guidelines provided by the detergent manufacturer.
- You can pour liquid detergent directly in to the main detergent drawer if you are starting the cycle immediately.
- Please do not use liquid detergent if you are using 'time delay' as the liquid may harden, or if you have selected 'Pre-Wash'.

※ If too much suds occur, please 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 oversuding.

WARNING
