To ensure proper installation of your LG WDN1508GRP, follow these requirements:

Installation Location:

• The appliance must be installed on a firm, level floor to minimize vibration. Concrete flooring is ideal.

• If installation next to a gas cooker or coal-burning stove is unavoidable, place an insulation sheet (850 x 600 mm) covered with aluminum foil between the appliances.

• Ensure the appliance is easily accessible for service.

• Ensure there is enough room for the door to open fully.

Clearances:

Wooden Floors (Suspended Floors):

• To reduce vibration on wooden floors, place 15 mm thick rubber cups under each adjusting foot, secured to at least two floor beams with screws.

• If possible, install the appliance in a corner of the room where the floor is more stable.

Follow these steps to unpack and set up your LG WDN1508GRP:

1. Lifting the Appliance Off the Foam Base:

• After removing the carton and shipping material, lift the appliance off the foam base.

• Make sure the tub support comes off with the base and is not stuck to the appliance.

• If you must lay the appliance down, protect its side and lay it carefully on its side. Do not lay it on its front or back.

2. Removing the Transit Bolt Assemblies:

• Starting with the bottom two transit bolts, use the included spanner to fully loosen all transit bolts by turning them counterclockwise.

• Wiggle the bolt assemblies slightly while pulling them out to remove them.

• Install the provided hole caps into the holes where the bolts were removed.

• Keep the transit bolts for future use if you need to transport the appliance again.

Proper levelling is crucial for the correct operation of your LG WDN1508GRP. Follow these steps:

Checking the Level:

• Push down on the edges of the top plate diagonally. The appliance should not move up and down. If it rocks, adjust the feet again.

Adjusting and Levelling the Feet:

1. Turn the levelling feet as required to adjust the height if the floor is uneven. Do not insert pieces of wood or other materials under the feet.

2. Ensure all four feet are stable and resting on the floor. Use a spirit level to confirm the appliance is perfectly level.

3. Secure the levelling feet by turning the lock nuts anti-clockwise against the bottom of the appliance.

4. Check that all lock nuts are secured properly.

Using Anti-Slip Sheets (if needed):

If the appliance is on a slippery surface, it may move. To prevent this:

1. Clean the floor with a dry rag to remove foreign objects and moisture.

2. Adjust the level after placing the appliance in its final location.

3. Place the adhesive side of the anti-slip sheets on the floor under the front feet. If this is difficult, you can place them under the rear feet.

4. Place the appliance onto the anti-slip sheets. Do not attach the adhesive side to the feet of the appliance.

Connecting the Water Supply Hose:

1. Check that the rubber seals are present inside the water supply hose connectors.

2. Screw the hose connector onto your water tap. For taps without a thread, follow the specific instructions in your manual for using the provided adapter.

3. Screw the other end of the supply hose to the water inlet valve on the back of the appliance. This appliance connects to the cold water supply only.

4. After connecting, turn on the water tap to flush out any foreign substances from the water lines before running a cycle.

Installing the Drain Hose:

1. The drain hose should not be placed higher than 100 cm above the floor to ensure proper drainage.

2. Use the included elbow bracket to shape the end of the drain hose. Connect the elbow bracket within 10 cm of the end of the hose.

3. Position the end of the hose in a standpipe or sink. Ensure it is not inserted more than 15 cm into the drain.

4. Secure the drain hose with a string or tie to prevent it from moving.

5. Make sure the hose is not kinked or trapped. If it’s too long, do not force it back into the appliance as this can cause noise.

Here is a step-by-step guide to using your LG WDN1508GRP:

Before the first wash: To remove any residues from manufacturing, select the Cotton wash programme, add a half amount of detergent, and start the appliance without any clothes.

General Operation:

1. Sort clothes and load items: Sort clothes by fabric type, soil level, and colour. Open the door and load the items, ensuring nothing is overhanging the rubber door seal.

2. Add cleaning products: Add the proper amount of detergent and, if desired, fabric softener to the correct compartments in the dispenser drawer.

3. Turn on the appliance: Press the Power button.

4. Choose the desired cycle: Turn the cycle selector knob to select a cycle. You can then customize settings like temperature, rinse, and spin speed.

5. Begin cycle: Press the Start/Pause button. The appliance will briefly agitate to measure the load weight before starting.

6. End of cycle: A melody will sound when the cycle is finished. Immediately remove your clothing to reduce wrinkling. Check the door seal for any small items that may be caught.

For the best results with your LG WDN1508GRP, prepare your laundry as follows:

Sorting the Clothes:

• Soil level: Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones.

• Colour: Wash dark or dyed clothes separately from whites and lights to prevent dye transfer.

• Lint: Wash lint-producing fabrics (like towels) separately from lint-collecting fabrics (like corduroy).

Checking the Clothes Before Loading:

• Combine large and small items to help distribute the load evenly during spinning.

• When washing a single small item, add 1-2 similar items to prevent an out-of-balance load.

• Empty all pockets of items like nails, hair clips, matches, pens, coins, and keys, as they can damage the appliance and your clothes.

• Use a laundry net for small items like socks and underwear, and for items with long straps.

• Close zippers, hooks, and strings to prevent snagging.

• Pre-treat stains by brushing a small amount of dissolved detergent onto them.

Follow these steps to add cleaning products to your LG WDN1508GRP:

1. Open the dispenser drawer.

2. Add detergent and softener into the appropriate compartments:

• Compartment 1 (Main wash): For main wash detergent, water softener, and stain remover.

• Compartment 2 (Pre-wash): For pre-wash detergent.

• Compartment 3 (Softener): For liquid fabric softener. Do not fill past the MAX line.

3. Gently close the dispenser drawer before starting the cycle. Do not slam it shut, as this can cause products to overflow.

Detergent Dosage:

• Use detergent according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Do not let detergent harden in the drawer.

• Adjust the amount based on load size: Part load (1/2 of normal), Minimum load (1/3 of full load).

Using Detergent Tablets:

If using detergent tablets, open the door and place them directly into the drum before loading the clothes. Do not put tablets in the dispenser drawer.
