Installation Instructions; Checking And Choosing The Proper Location - LG FH0C7FD3 Owner's Manual

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Checking and choosing the
proper location
Install the washing machine on a solid floor
that is strong and rigid enough to support the
weight of the washing machine, even when
fully loaded, without flexing or bouncing. If
the floor has too much flex, you may need to
reinforce it to make it more rigid. If the floor
is not solid, it may cause severe vibration and
noise.
1
Clean the floor before installation.
- Make sure to select solid and smooth
ground.
2
Two or more people are needed for moving
and unpacking the washing machine.
3
Allow for sufficient space between the walls
and the washing machine for installation.
Space requirements
You must allow sufficient space for water lines,
the drain line, and airflow.
NOTE
• Be sure to allow for wall, door, or floor
moldings that may increase the required
clearances.

NOTE
• The floor must be strong and rigid enough
to support the weight of the washer,
when fully loaded, without flexing or
bouncing. If your floor has too much flex,
you may need to reinforce it to make it
more rigid. A floor that is adequate for
a top-loading washer may not be rigid
enough for a front loading washer, due to
the difference in the spin speed and direc-
tion. If the floor is not solid, your washer
may vibrate and you may hear and feel the
vibration throughout your house.
• Before installing the washer, make sure
the floor is clean, dry and free of dust,
dirt, water and oils so the washer feet
can not slide easily. Leveling feet that can
move or slide on the floor can contribute
to excess vibration and noise due to poor
contact with the floor.
