Care Labels

Sorting

Check before Loading

Loading

Pretreatment on stains or heavy soil

WARING

Look for a care label on your clothes. This will tell you about the fabric content of yourgarment and how it should be washed.Sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle, Water Temperatureand spin speed.

To get the best results, different fabrics need to be washed in different ways.

SOIL (Heavy, Normal, Light) Separate clothes according to the type and amount of soil.COLOR (Whites, Lights, Darks) Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.LINT (Lint producers, Collectors) Separate lint producers and lint collectors.

Lint Producers Terry cloth, Chenille, Towels, NappiesLint Collectors Synthetics, Corduroy, Permanent Press, Socks

Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty. Things such as nails, hairclips, matches,pens, coins, and keys can damage both your washer and your clothes.Mend any torn garments or loose buttons. Tears or holes may become larger during washing.Remove belts, underwires, etc. to prevent damage to the machine or your clothes.Pretreat any dirt and stains.Make sure the clothes are washable in water.Check the washing instructions.Remove tissue in pockets.

Pretreat shirt collars and cuffs with a pre-wash product or liquid Detergent when placing them in the washer.Before washing treat special stains with bar soaps, liquid Detergent or a paste of water and granular Detergent.Use a pretreat soil and stain remover.Treat stains AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. The longer they are left the harder they are to remove.

Do not wash fabrics containing flammable materials (waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.).

Load SizeThe WATER LEVEL should just cover the clothes. Adjust the load sizeaccordingly. Loosely load clothes no higher than the top row of holes in thewasher tub. To add items after washer has started, press Start button andsubmerge additional items. Close the lid and press Start button again to restart.

Fire Hazard

Never place items in the washer that aredampened with gasoline or other flammable fluids.No washer can completely remove oil. Do not dry

anything that has ever had any type of oil on it(including cooking oils). Doing so can result in

death, explosion, or fire.Light and Large-sized clothingClothes like downs and woollens are light weight, large and float easily. Use a nylon net andwash them in a small amount of water. If the laundry floats during the wash cycle, it maybecome damaged. Use dissolved Detergent to prevent the Detergent from clumping.

Do not wash water-proof textiles(skiing outfit, baby's nappy, automobile seat covers)Long laundry itemsUse nylon nets for long, DELICATES items. For laundry with long strings or long length, a net will preventtangling during washing. Fasten zippers, hook, and strings to make sure that these items don't snag onother clothes.

Nylon net is not supplied by LG.

Water Temperature

Detergent

Choosing the right Detergent

Attention

This machine detects the quantity of laundry automatically, then sets the WATER LEVEL. When you select a wash program, the WATER LEVEL will be shown on the control panel.The following table shows the amount of water.When the WATER LEVEL is automatically detected, it may differ depending on the quantityof laundry even though the same WATER LEVEL is indicated on the control panel.

If iron is present in the water the clothes may become an all-over yellow or they may be stained with brownor orange spots or streaks. Iron is not always visible. Installation of water softener or an iron filter may benecessary for severe cases.

Follow the Detergent package directions. Using too little Detergent is a common cause of laundry problems.Use more Detergent if you have hard water, large loads, greasy or oily soils or lower Water Temperature.

We recommend the use of domestic Detergent, (powder, liquid or concentrated). Soap flakes or granulated soappowders should not be used in your washing machine. When washing woolens remember to use Detergentsuitable for washing woolens.

The machine sets the appropriate temperature automatically according to the wash program .You can change the Water Temperature by pressing the WATER TEMP. button. The temperature of the water impacts the effectiveness of all laundry additives and therefore, the cleaning results.We recommend temperatures of:- HOT 49~60 ...(120-140 ) White items, diapers, underclothing and heavily soiled, colorfast items.- WARM 29~40 ...(85-105 ) Most items- COLD* 18~24 ...(65-75 ) Only very bright colors with light soil.When washing in COLD water additional steps may be needed:- Adjust Detergent amount and pre-dissolve Detergent in WARM water- Pretreat spots and stains- Soak heavily soiled items- Use appropriate bleach

* Temperature below 18 ...(65 ) will not activate laundry additives and may cause lint, residue, poor cleaning, etc.In addition, Detergent manufactures and care labels define COLD water as 26~29 ...(80-85 ).If the temperature of the water in the tub is too cold for your hands, the Detergent will not activate and cleaneffectively.

Using the Liquid Bleach Dispenser

Using the Dispenser Drawer

The bleach dispenser automatically dilutes and dispensesliquid chlorine bleach at the proper time in the wash cycle.

1. Check clothing care labels for special instructions. 2. Measure liquid bleach carefully, following instructions on the

bottle.Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto clothesor into the wash basket.Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach dispenser.Avoid overfilling or splashing when adding bleach to thedispenser. The maximum capacity of the bleach dispenser isone cup of bleach per wash cycle. Overfilling could result inearly dispensing of bleach.

3. Before starting the washer, pour measured amount of bleachdirectly into bleach dispenser. If you prefer to use powderedbleach, add it into the wash basket directly before adding clothes.

Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acidssuch as vinegar and/or rust remover. Mixing canproduce a toxic gas which may cause death.

The dispenser drawer contains three compartments:Liquid Fabric SoftenerLiquid or Powder DetergentLiquid Wash Boost Additives

The dispenser automatically dispenses additives at theproper time in the wash cycle.

1. Slowly open the dispenser drawer by pulling the drawer outuntil it stops.

2. After adding laundry products, slowly close the dispenserdrawer. Closing the drawer too quickly could result in earlydispensing of additives.

Avoid overfilling or splashing when adding laundry productsto the dispenser. Doing so could result in early dispensing oflaundry products.

At the end of the cycle, you may see water in thecompartments. This is part of the normal operation of thewasher.

28

When there is a fear of freezing

cleaning the Inside of your Washer

Close the water taps and remove the Water Supply Hose.Remove the water which remains in the water supply.Lower the drain hose and drain the water in the bowl and the drain hose by spinning.

If Frozen

Remove the water supply hose, and immerse it in HOT water at approx. 40 .Pour approx. 2 liters of HOT water at approx. 40 , into the bowl and let it stand for 10 minutes. Connect the water supply hose to the water tap and confirm that the washing machineperforms the supply and drainage of water.

If you use fabric softener or do regular COLD water washing, it is very important that youoccasionally clean the inside of your washer.

Fill your washer with HOT water.Add about two cups of a powdered Detergent that contains phosphate.Let it operate for several minutes.Stop the washer, open the lid and leave it to soak overnight.After soaking, drain the washer and run it through a normal cycle.

We do not recommend that you wash clothes during this procedure.

Wash Inner-tub Leave the lid open after washing to allow moisture to evaporate. If youwant to clean the inner-tub use a clean soft cloth dampened with liquidDetergent, then rinse. (Do not use harsh or gritty cleaners.)

Inlet Hoses Hoses connecting washer to faucet should be replaced every 5 years.Exterior Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe with damp cloth. Try not to hit

surface with sharp objects.

Long Vacations Be sure water supply is shut off at faucets. Drain all water from hoses ifweather will be below freezing.

13) Vibration, Noise or Unbalance Error happens during spin.


Using conditions such as installationetc.

1. Check whether the washer is leveled.(Check clearance with out tub and outcase the left gap is the same as the rightand the rear gap is 1.5~2 time biggerthan the front gap, between the cabinetand the wash bowl, when it is leveled.)

2. Check whether laundry in the wash bowlis out of balance that can cause severevibration & noise.

3. Check whether the pulsator doesn’trotate during spin.(To check that,remove the front lid and than run thespin only cycle.)
