• Timber or suspended type flooringmay contribute to excessivevibration and unbalance. NOTE If the washing machine is installed on a raised platform, it must be securely fastened inorder to eliminate the risk of falling off.15

Wooden floors (Suspended 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 are particularly susceptible to vibration.

To prevent vibration we recommend you place rubber cups under each foot under washer at least 15mm thick, 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.

Fit the rubber cups to reduce vibration.

You can obtain the rubber cups (p/no.4620ER4002B) from the LG spares dept. Rubber Cup Installation NOTE

Proper placement and leveling of the washer will ensure long, regular and reliable operation.

The washer must be 100% 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. Deutsch Slovenščina English Français Italiano16 How to use washer Operating washing machine

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.

• Close zippers, hooks and strings to make sure that these items don’t snag on other clothes.

• Pre treat dirt and stains by brushing a little detergent dissolved in water onto stains like collars and cuffs to help lift dirt.

• Check the folds of the flexible gasket (gray) and remove any small articles.

• Check inside of the drum and remove any item from a previous wash.

• Remove any clothing or items from the flexible gasket to prevent clothing and gasket damage.

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 discolouration 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.

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. Wash temperatureNormal machine washPermanent pressHand washSort laundry by...SoilingColour Wash temperatureFabric typeDelicateDo not wash NOTE

• Before the first wash, 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. Deutsch Slovenščina English Français Italiano18 Washing program table
