Level adjustment
Concrete floors
Wooden floors (Suspended floors)
1. Adjus ing he washing machine level properly preven s excessive
noise and vibra ion.
Ins all he appliance on a solid and level floor surface, preferably in a
corner of he room.
2. If he floor is uneven, adjus he adjus able fee as required. (do no
inser pieces of wood e c. under he fee )
Make sure ha all four fee are s able and res ing on he floor and
hen check ha he appliance is perfec ly level. (use a spiri level)
※※
After the washer is level, tighten the lock nuts up towards of 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 of two directions
If machine rocks when pushing the machine top plate diagonally, adjust the feet again.
• 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,
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 floor is more stable.
※※
Insert the rubber cups to reduce vibration.
※※
Rubber cups ( p/no. 4620ER4002B can be purchased from the LG spare parts department.
Important!
• Proper placement and levelling of the washer ensures 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 feet of the washer get wet. If feet of the washer get wet, slipping may occur.
NOTE
Timber or suspended type flooring may contribute to
excessive vibration and unblance errors.
NOTE
In the case that 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.
※
It can be purchased from
hardware suppliers.
