Installation
• 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.
NOTE
▶ Concrete 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 70 x 70 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 (Suspended floors)
• Wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration.
•
To help reduce vibration we recommend you place rubber cups under each foot under
washer at least 15 mm 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.
•
If vibration persists with rubbers fitted. The flooring structure or rigidity may be inadequate for proper operation.
