y This pedestal washer must be installed underneath

a matching front-loading LG washing machine manu-

factured after 2009. (The 29" wide machine must be

stacked under a 29" wide LG front-loading washer. The

27" wide machine must be stacked under a 27" wide

LG front-loading washer.)

y The pedestal washer will not work as a standalone unit.

y The pedestal washer must be stacked under an LG

brand appliance in order to operate properly.

CAUTION

POWER OUTLET

y The power outlet must be within 60 in. (1.5 m) of either

side of the washer.

y The appliance and outlet must be positioned so that the

plug is easily accessible.

y For best performance, plug the washer into its own

individual outlet. If necessary, use a new, UL-listed

3-prong adapter or 3-wire extension cord with a 3-prong

(grounding) plug rated at no less than the branch circuit.

Do not use an extension cord longer than three feet.

Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious

injury, fire, electric shock, or death

y The outlet must be grounded in accordance with current

wiring electric codes and regulations.

y Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.

WARNING

NOTE: It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the

product owner to have a proper outlet installed by a qualified

service technician.

To ensure sufficient clearance for water lines and airflow, allow

minimum clearances of at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) at the sides and

4 in. (10 cm) behind the unit. Be sure to allow for wall, door, or

floor moldings that may increase the required clearances.

FLOORING

y To minimize noise and vibration, the washer MUST be

installed on a solidly constructed floor.

y Allowable slope under the entire washer is a maximum 1

inch. difference from side to side or from front to back.

y Installing on carpeting and soft tile surfaces is not

recommended.

y Never install the washer on a platform or weakly supported

structure.

NOTE: The washer must be installed on firm flooring to minimize

vibration during the spin cycle. Concrete flooring is best, but a

wood floor is sufficient, provided it is built to FHA standards. The

washer should not be installed on rugs or exposed to weather.

Do not use a drip pan as it can block the drawer. Using the drip pan

may result in increased vibration and noise during operation.

y Two or more people are required when moving, unpacking, and

stacking the washer. Failure to follow this warning may result in

damage to property or serious bodily harm.

y Store and install the washer where it will not be exposed to

weather or to temperatures below freezing. Failure to follow

this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or

death.

y Properly ground the washer to conform with all electric gov-

erning codes and ordinances. Failure to follow this warning can

cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.

y To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not install the washer in

humid spaces. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious

injury, fire, electric shock, or death.

y To ensure proper air flow, do not block the large opening on the

bottom of the washer with carpeting or other materials.

y Do not remove the ground prong. Do not use a 2-prong adapter

or 2-wire extension cord. Failure to follow these warnings can

cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
