Installation of drain hose
Level adjustment
• Proper level-adjustmen t of the washing machine prevents
excessive noise and vibration. I nstall the appliance on a solid
and level fl oor surface, preferably in a co rner of the room.
• If the fl oor is uneven, adjust feet as require d.
(Do not inser t pieces of wood etc. under the feet).
Make sure that all four feet are sta ble and resting on the fl oor.
Then check that the applian ce is perfectly level.
(Use a spirit l evel).
• Wooden fl oors are particular ly susceptible to vibration.
• To prevent vibration we recommend you place rubber cups und er each foot,
at least 15mm thick under the washer, secured to at leas t 2 fl oor beams with screws.
• If pos sible install the washer in one of the corners of the room, w here the fl oor
is more stable.
Insert the rubber c ups to reduce vibration.
You can obtain the rubber cups ( p/no.4620ER 4002B) from the LG spares d ept.
Wooden fl oors (Suspended fl oors)
• The drain hose should no t be placed higher than 100 cm above the fl oor.
• Proper securing of the dr ain hose will protect the fl oor from d amage due to any water leakage.
• If the drain hose is too l ong do not force back into the washing machine. This will cause abnor mal
noise and cause the machine to malf unction and leak.

Safety instructions for use
Safety instuctions for the installation
Install or store the appliance whe re it will not be exposed to sub-zero temperatures or exposed to the weather. Fit the power plug
to a grounded wall soc ket that complies with all statutor y regulations and ordinances. Ensure tha t the base opening is free from
obstruction by carpeting if the washing machine is installed on a c arpeted fl oor. In co untries where there is a r isk of cockroach
infestation or other vermin, pay particula r attention to keep th e appliance and its surr oundings in a clean conditio n at all times.
Any damage which may be caused by c ockroaches or other vermin is not covered by the applianc e guarantee.
CAUTION abou t positioning the appliance
Install the was hing machine on a fl at hard fl oor. Make sur e that air circulation around t he washing machine is
not impeded by car pets, rug etc.
•
Never try to correc t any unevenness in the fl oor using piece s of wood, cardboard or similar materials under the washing ma chine.
•
If it is not possi ble to position th e washing machine away from a gas cooker or coal burning stove, an in sulation panel
(85x60 cm) covered with aluminum foil on the side facing the co oker or stove, must be inserted between the t wo appliances.
•
The washing machine must not be inst alled in rooms where the temperature may drop below 0°C.
•
Please ensure that when the washing machine is installed , that a Service Technician can gain easy access in the event of a
breakdown.
•
Adjust all four feet using the transit bolt spanner provided to ensure that the appliance is stable, with 20mm clearnace between
the top of the washing machine and unde rside of the worktop.
CAUTION abou t the power cord
We recommend con necting most appliances to a dedicated circuit which is protected by a mains fuse. That is, a single outlet
supplying p ower only to the appliance co ncerned, without any additional ou tlets or branch circuits. Check the specifi cations
of this owner‘s manual. Do not overload wall sockets. Over loaded wall socket s, loose or damaged wall socket s or extension
cords, frayed po wer cords, damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these conditions could result in electric
shock or fi re. Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it,
discontinue use of the applian ce, and have the cord replaced with an exact replacement par t by an authorized servicer. Protect
the power co rd from physical or me chanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, squashed in a ja mb of a door, or
walked upon. Pay particula r attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point w here the cord exits the appliance.
CAUTION abou t location and moving
This equipment is not designed for ma ritime use or for use mobile installations such as caravans, air craft etc. Turn off the
stopcock if the machine is to be left for any length of time (e.g. if you are going on holiday) , especially if there is no fl oor d rain
(gully) in the immediate vicinity. If relocating the app liance use the original packing material. Packaging material (e.g. plastic fi lm,
Styrofoam ) can be dangerous for children. Th ere is a risk of suffocation ! Keep all packaging well away from children and do not
allow children to play inside the bowl as t hey may become trapped.
CAUTION abou t the fl oor surfac e
• T he installation surface must be clean, dry a nd level.
• I nstall washing machine on a fl at hard fl oor. Poorly constructed timber base fl oors c an contribute t o excessive noise and
vibration.
• Pr oper placement and levelling of the washing machine ensure long, regular and reli able operation.
• T he washing machine must be perfectly level and fi rmly in position.
• I t must not “see-saw” across corners under load.
• T he installation surface must be clean, free fro m fl oor wax and other lubrican t coatings.
• D o not allow the feet of the washing machine to get wet. If feet of the washin g machine get wet, slipping may occur.

Safety instructions for use
To minimize the risk of fi re withi n the inner bowl, the following s hould be observed:
• Items that h ave been spotted or soaked with vegetable or c ooking oil constitute a fi re hazard and should not be place d in a tumble dryer.
Oil-affected items ca n ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat s ources Such as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm,
causing an oxidation reactio n in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot es cape, the items can become hot enough to catch fi re.
Piling, stacking or storing o il-affected items can prevent heat from escaping a nd so create a fi re hazard. If it is unavo idable that fabrics that
contain vegetable or co oking oil or have been contaminated by hair care produc ts be placed in a tumble dryer they should fi rst be washed in
hot water with extra dete rgent-this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard. The ‘cool down’ cycle o f tumble dryers should be used to reduce
the temperature of the items. T hey should not be removed from the tumble dryer or piled or s tacked while hot.
• Items that h ave been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spot ted with petrol/gasoline, dry- cleaning solvents or other fl ammab le or
explosive substances s hould not be placed in a tumble dryer. Highly fl ammabl e substances commonly used in domestic environme nts include
acetone, denatured alcohol, p etrol/gasoline, kerosene, spot removers ( some brands), turpentine, wa xes and wax removers.
• Items con taining foam rubber (also known as latex foam ) or similarly testured rubber like materials should n ot be dried in a tumble dryer on a
heat setting. Foam ru bber materials can, when heated, produce fi re by spontaneous c ombustion.
• Fabric s ofteners or similar products should not be used dur ing a drying cycle, to eliminate the effects of stat ic electricity
unless this practice is spe cifi cally recommended by the manu facturer of the fabric softener or product .
• Underga rments that contain metal reinforcements sh ould not be placed in a tumble dryer. Damage to the tumble dryer can re sult if metal
reinforcements come loo se during drying. When available a drying rack co uld be used for such items.
• Plastic articles su ch as shower caps or babies waterproof napkin co vers should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
• Rubber-backed ar ticles, clothes fi tte d with foam rubber pads, pillows, rubber boots an d rubber-coated tennis shoes should not be placed in
a tumble dryer.
