Installing on Carpeting

WARNING
• The appliance is heavy. Two or more people are
necessary to install the rear leveling feet and
carpet spikes. Failure to do so can result in back
injury or other injury.
• Keep the appliance upright when moving and
installing it. If you lay the appliance on its side,
refrigerant may leak and cause the appliance to
malfunction.

WARNING
• Take care when handling the carpet spikes. They
are designed to pierce through the carpet
backing and pad and are very sharp.
• Keep fingers and hands out from under the
spikes when setting the unit in place to avoid
personal injury or product damage.
5
Level the appliance once more after installing
the spikes.
• If the carpet has very deep pile or padding,
the front feet may need to be extended
slightly to install the drip tray.
If installing the appliance on carpeting:
• Be sure to check and empty the drip tray
often.
• Do not open the unit during operation to
avoid condensation forming on carpet
surface, which may result in surface mold or
mildew.
• Keep the bottom of the cabinet dry when
filling or emptying water tanks. Keep the
outside of the water tanks clean and dry to
discourage growth of mold or mildew.
Reversing the Door
It is possible to reverse the direction of the door
swing. This should be done by the installer at the
time of installation, if desired.
NOTE
• If the direction of the door swing needs to be
changed after installation, contact the LG
Customer Information Center.
