GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least
resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinance. · Do not use an adapter or
otherwise defeat the grounding plug. · If you don’t have the proper outlet,
consult an electrician.
: WARNING Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result
in risk of electric shock. Check with
a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the

CAUTION
CAUTION concerning the Power cord Most appliances recommend they be placed
upon a dedicated circuit; that is, a single outlet circuit which powers only
that appliance and has no additional outlets or branch circuits. Check the
specification page of this owner’s manual to be certain. Do not overload wall
outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets, extension
cords, frayed power cords, or damaged or cracked wire insulation are
dangerous. Any of these conditions could result in an electric shock or fire.
Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, and if its appearance
indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of the
appliance, and have the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by an
authorized servicer. Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse,
such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay
particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the cord
exits the appliance.
CAUTION
The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons
without supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with appliance.

To connect water supply hose
· Water supply pressure must be between 100 kPa and 1000 kPa (1.0 ~ 10.0 kgf /
cm2) · Do not strip or crossthread when connecting Inlet hose to the valve. ·
If the water supply pressure is more than 1000 kPa, a decompression device
should be
installed. · Periodically check the condition of the hose and replace the hose
if necessary.
· Make sure that there are no kinks on the hose and that they are not crushed.
When your washer has two valves.
· The Inlet hose which has red connector is for the hot water tap.
· If the washer has two valves, the energy is saved by using hot valve.

Installation of drain hose
· The drain hose should not be placed higher than 100 cm above the floor.
Water in the washer does not drain or drains slowly.
· Securing the drain hose correctly will protect the floor from damage due to
water leakage.
· If the drain hose is too long, do not force back into the washer. This will
cause abnormal noise.
· When installing the drain hose to a sin, secure it tightly with string.
· Securing the drain hose correctly will protect the floor from damage due to
water leakage.

I nstallation
Leveling
1. Leveling the washing machine properly prevents excessive noise and
vibration. Install the appliance on a solid and level floor surface,
preferably in a corner of the room.
Timber or suspended type flooring may contribute to excessive vibration and
unbalance.
Raise Lock Nut
Lower
Tighten all 4 locknuts securely
2. If the floor is uneven, turn the adjustable feet as required. (do not
insert pieces of wood etc. under the feet) Make sure that all four feet are
stable and resting on the floor and then check that the appliance is perfectly
level. (use a spirit level)
· Once the washer is level, tighten the lock nuts up towards the base of the
washer. All lock nuts must be tightened.
· 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
directions). If machine rocks when pushing the machine top plate diagonally,
adjust the feet 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 foot on the Tread Mate and level the machine to suit. (Cut
Tread Mate into 70×70 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
Rubber Cup
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.
· Insert the rubber cups to reduce vibration.
· You can obtain the rubber cups (p/no.4620ER4002B) from the LG spares dept.
· Proper placement and levelling 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.

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.
· 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.
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.
