Wooden floors (Suspended floors)
1. Adjusting the washing achine level properly prevents excessive
noise and vibration.
Install the appliance on a solid and level floor surface, preferably in a
corner of the roo .
2. If the floor is uneven, adjust 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

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.
※※
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 feet of the washer get wet. If feet of the washer get wet, slipping may occur.
NOTE
