INSTALLATION

This equipment is not designed for maritime use or for use mobile installations such as caravans, aircraft etc. Turn off the stopcock if the machine is to be left for any length of time (e.g. holiday), especially if there is no floor drain(gully) in the immediate vicinity. When disposing of the appliance, cut off the mains cable and destroy the plug. Break the door lock to prevent young children being trapped inside. Packaging material (e.g. Films, Styrofoam,PE Bags) can be dangerous for children. There is a risk of suffocation ! Keep all packaging well away from children.

Installation of drain hose

• The drain hose should not be placed higher than 100 cm above the floor.
• Proper securing of the drain hose will protect the floor from getting wet due to water leakage.
• When the drain hose is too long, do not force back into the washer. This will cause abnormal noise/leakage.

Level adjustment adjustable leg
Adjustable leg 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. 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 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 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 f loor is more stable.
• Insert the rubber cups to reduce vibration.
• You can obtain the rubber cups (p/no.4620ER4002B) from the LG spares dept.

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.

Care before washing

• 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

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.

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)
Color (White, Lights, Darks) Lint (Lint producers, Collectors) Separate clothes according to amount of soil. Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics. Wash lint producers and lint collectors separately.

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.

Adding detergent
Adding detergent and fabric softener

The Dispenser Drawer

• Main wash only → L/
• Pre Wash + Main Wash → L W

WARNING

• Do not open the drawer when water is supplied.

• Solvents(benzene etc) are not allowable.
  NOTE

• Do not pour fabric softener directly on the cloths

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 ‘Delay End’ as the liquid may harden, or if you have selected ‘Pre-Wash’.
• If suds occur too much, 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 over sudsing.

WARNING
Do not let the detergent harden. Doing so may lead to blockages,poor rinse performance or bad odor. Full load: according to manufacturer’s recommendation.

NOTE

• Part load: 3/4 of the normal amount.
• Minimum load : 1/2 of full load.
• Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the beginning of the cycle.

Adding water softener
A water softener, such as Anti limescale (e.g. Calgon) can be used to cut down on the use of detergent in extremely hard water areas. Dispense according to the amount specified on the packaging. First add detergent and then the water softener. Use the quantity of detergent as for soft water.
