•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.
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) 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.
If the washing machine is installed on a raised platform, it must be securely
fastened in order to eliminate the risk of falling off.

Concrete floors
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.
•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.

■Care before washing
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.
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
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. 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.
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.
