death.

erning codes and ordinances. Failure to follow this warning can

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.
CAUTION
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.
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.
WARNING
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.
NOTE: It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the
product owner to have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
service technician.
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.
