1. Adjusting the washing machine level properly prevents excessive
noise and vibration.
Install the appliance on a solid and level floor surface, preferably in a
corner of the room.
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
then check that the appliance is perfectly level. (use a spirit 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.

squares and stick the pieces to the dry tile where machine is to be placed).
※※
Tread Mat is a self adhesive material used on ladders & steps to prevent 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 parts dept.
Important!
