Installation
❿
Concrete floors
❿
Wooden floors (Suspended floors)
• The installation surface must be clean, dry and level.
• Install washer on a flat hard floor.
❿
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.
Rubber Cup
NOTE
• Proper placement and leveling 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.
