Checking the Level

When pushing down the edges of the top plate diagonally, the appliance should not move up and down at all (check both directions).If the appliance rocks when pushing the top plate of the appliance diagonally, adjust the feet again.Check whether the appliance is perfectly level after installation.Timber or suspended type flooring may contribute to excessive vibration and unbalance. Reinforcement or bracing of the timber floor may need to be considered to stop or reduce excessive noise and vibration.Never try to level any uneven floor by putting pieces of wood, cardboard or similar materials under the appliance.

Adjusting and Levelling the Feet

When installing the appliance, the appliance should be aligned and perfectly level. If the appliance is not aligned and level properly, the appliance may be damaged or may not operate properly.Turn the levelling feet as required if the floor is uneven.Do not insert pieces of wood etc. under the feet.Make sure that all four feet are stable and resting on the floor.Do not install the washing machine on a plinth, stand or elevated surface unless it is manufactured by LG Electronics for use with this model.Check if the appliance is perfectly level using a spirit level a.Secure the levelling feet with the lock nuts b by turning anti-clockwise against the bottom of the appliance.Check if all lock nuts at the bottom of the appliance are secured properly.Proper placement and levelling of the appliance will ensure long, regular, and reliable operation.The appliance must be 100% horizontal and stand firmly in position on a hard flat floor.It must not ‘Seesaw’ across corners under the load.Do not let the feet of the appliance get wet. Failure to do so may cause vibration or noise.

Using Anti-Slip Sheets

This feature may vary depending on the model purchased.If you install the appliance on a slippery surface, it may move because of excessive vibration. Incorrect levelling may cause malfunction through noise and vibration. If this occurs, install the anti-slip sheets under the levelling feet and adjust the level.Clean the floor to attach the anti-slip sheets.Use a dry rag to remove and clean foreign objects and moisture. If moisture remains, the anti-slip sheets may slip.Adjust the level after placing the appliance in the installation area.Place the adhesive side a of the anti-slip sheets on the floor.The most effective way is to install the anti-slip sheets under the front feet. If it is difficult to place the sheets under the front feet of the appliance, attach them under the rear feet.Put the appliance on the anti-slip sheets.Do not attach the adhesive side a of anti-slip sheets to the feet of the appliance.Additional anti-slip sheets are available at LG Electronics service centre.
