Leveling The Appliance - LG F8K5XN3 Owner's Manual

Using the Drain Hose Connector
1
Connect the drain hose of the front-loading
washing machine and the pedestal washing
machine to the drain connector.
2
Insert the included band clamps on to the
ends of the two drain hoses.
3
Push the drain hoses firmly onto the drain
connector.
CAUTION
• Adjust the band clamps to prevent the hoses
from coming loose or leaking. Failure to do
so could result in flooding. Use of the drain
connector helps avoid siphoning, odors, or
improper draining.
• Make sure the drain hose is not kinked or
pinched. This is a potential cause of drainage
problems or noise.
NOTE
• Depending on the installation environment, you
may have to purchase a separate drain hose
connector.

Leveling the Appliance

If the floor is uneven, turn 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).
• Once the appliance is level, tighten the lock
nuts up towards the base of the appliance. All
lock nuts must be tightened.

Diagonal Check
• When pushing down the edges of the top plate
diagonally, the appliance should not move up
and down at all (check both directions). If the
appliance rocks when pushing the machine top
plate diagonally, adjust the feet again.
• When stacking the front-loading washing
machine on the pedestal washing machine,
use the leveling feet on the pedestal washing
machine to level both. The front-loading
washing machine´s leveling feet should
be minimized and the locknuts turned
counterclockwise to secure them.
NOTE
• Timber or suspended type flooring may
contribute to excessive vibration and
unbalance.
• If the washing machine is installed on a raised
platform, it must be securely fastened in order
to eliminate the risk of falling off.
