W arnings

To minimize the risk of fire in a tumble dryer, the following should be observed:

•Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard and should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources Such as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.

If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent-this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard. Washed in hot water with extra detergent-this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard. The ‘cool down’ cycle of tumble dryers should be used to reduce the temperature of the items. They should not be removed from the tumble dryer or piled or stacked while hot.

•Items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with petrol/gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

Highly flammable substances commonly used in domestic environments include acetone, denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene, spot removers (some brands), turpentine, waxes and was removers.

•Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly testured rubber. like materials should not be dried in a tumble dryer on a heat setting.

Foam rubber materials can, when heated, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.

•Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity unless this practice is specifically recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

•Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

Damage to the tumble dryer can result if metal reinforcements come loose during drying. When available a drying rack could be used for such items.

•Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies waterproof napkin covers should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

•Rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and rubber-coated tennis shoes should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

Level adjustment

1. Adjusting the washing machine level properly prevents excessive noise and vibration.

Install the appliance on a solid and level floor surface, preferably in a corner of the room.

NOTE Timber or suspended type flooring may contribute to excessive vibration and unblance errors.

	2. If the floor is uneven, adjust 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)
	After the washer is level, tighten the lock nuts up towards of the base of
	the washer. All lock nuts must be tightened.
	NOTE	In the case that the washing machine is installed on a raised
Adjustable	Adjustable	platform, it must be securely fastened in order
feet	feet	to eliminate the risk that it might fall off.
	Diagonal Check
	When pushing down the edges of the washing machine top plate diagonally, the
	machine should not move up and down at all. (Please, check both of two directions)
	If machine rocks when pushing the machine top plate diagonally, adjust the feet again.
In case of auto leveling foot

The right rear foot of the washing machine is an auto leveling foot. Unlike with the adjustable feet, adjusting the auto leveling foot bolt may cause noise or vibration.

Check the auto leveling foot’s state

Case1. Floating from floor

• Raising the front left adjustable foot will press the auto leveling foot to the floor.

Case2. Auto leveling foot fully pressed

• Raising the adjustable feet at the right front and left back corners will release the auto leveling foot.

I nstallation

Concrete floors

•The installation surface must be clean, dry and level.

•Install washer on a flat hard floor.

Tile floors (Slippery floors)

•Position each foot on the Tread Mate and level the machine to suit. (Cut Tread Mate into 70x70 mm sections and stick the pieces on to the dry tile where machine is to be placed.)

Tread Mate is a self adhesive material used on ladders & steps that prevents slipping.

Wooden floors (Suspended floors)

•Wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration.

•To prevent vibration we recommend you place rubber cups under each foot, at least 15mm thick under the washer, secured to at least 2 floor beams with screws.

•If possible install the washer in one of the corners of the room, where the floor is more stable.

Rubber Cup

It can be purchased from hardware suppliers.

Insert the rubber cups to reduce vibration.

Rubber cups ( p/no. 4620ER4002A) can be purchased from the LG spare parts department.

Important!

•Proper placement and levelling of the washer ensures long, regular and reliable operation.

•The washer must be absolutely horizontal and stand firmly in position.

•It must not “Seesaw” across corners under load.

•The installation surface must be clean, free from floor wax and other lubricant coatings.

•Do not let the feet of the washer get wet. If feet of the washer get wet, slipping may occur.

C are before washing

Before the first washing

Select a cycle (COTTON 60°C, add a half load of detergent) allow the unit to wash without clothing. This will remove residues from the drum that may have been left during manufacturing.

Caring before washing

1.Care Labels

Look for a care label on your clothes. This will tell you about the fabric content of your garment and how it should be washed.

2.Sorting

To get the best results, Sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle. Water temperature and spin speed and different fabrics need to be washed in different ways. Always sort dark colors from pale colors and whites. Wash separately as dye and lint transfer can occur causing discoloration of white etc. If possible, do not wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled one.

Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light) Color (White, Lights, Darks) Lint (Lint producers, Collectors)

Separate clothes according to amount of soil. Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics. Wash lint producers and lint collectors separately.

3.Caring before loading

Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first. Large items should not be more than half the total wash load.

Do not wash single items. This may cause an out-of-balance load. Add one or two similar items.

• Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty. Items such as nails, hair clip, matches, pens, coins and keys can damage both your washer and your clothes.

• Pre treat dirt and stains by brushing a little detergent dissolved in water onto stains like collars and cuffs to help shift dirt.

• Close zippers, hooks and strings to make sure that these items don’t snag on other clothes.

• Check the folds of the flexible gasket (gray) and remove any small articles,if any.

• Check inside of the drum and remove any left items in it for next wash cycle.

• Remove any clothing or items on the flexible gasket to prevent clothing and the gasket damages.

	35g	* (High concentration detergent measuring cup: 35g)
	20g

NOTE

Precaution when using the detergent

•Refer to the detergent usage reference table and add the proper amount of detergent accordingly.

1)Because the drum washer uses the washing method of utilizing the height difference, it can wash the laundry with about 1/3 of the amount of water. Therefore when adding the detergent, you must reduce the amount to 1/3 of the general washer.

2)When washing relatively clean laundry, reduce the amount of detergent. The more you use the detergent, the more the amount of generated bubbles. Therefore you can still have bubbles even after the rinse cycle.

3)If the quality of the water is good (Sweet water), the washing capability and the amount of bubbles generated increase. Therefore you can reduce the amount of detergent.

•Stains on inner wear (Cotton) or baby clothes (Cotton) are generally from sebum or protein substance. Therefore rather than increasing the amount of the detergent, it is more effective to wash at higher temperature and to increase the number of rinse cycles.

•If you use the detergent excessively, the following problems can occur.

1)Excessive bubbles can increase the rinse time and the normal rinse cycle may not be possible.

2)Bubbles may not be completely removed after the final rinse cycle.

•Natural power soap does not dissolve well in water can easily block the drain to cause leakage or other problems. Therefore you must dissolve natural powder soap in warm water before applying to the washer.

•If you have selected the Pre-wash, use less than half of the detergent amount of the main wash cycle. And because the water supply cycle time is short, add the detergent prior to starting the washing cycle.

•When the detergent container is set, the addition of the detergent may not be smooth. Therefore wipe any moisture in the detergent container to make it more effective.

•The reason the water looks white while draining is due to the fine bubbles generated from high speed rotation of pump propeller while lint, zeolite and fabric softener are drained. Therefore, just because the water looks white does not mean the rinse is incomplete.

•When using the liquid detergent, make sure to add below the MAX line of the liquid detergent box of the detergent/fabric softener container.

•Do not leave liquid detergent in the detergent container for a long period of time. The liquid detergent will be hardened and not be applied.

•When using the general detergent, it is recommended to use the detergent exclusively for the drum washer as it may generate excessive bubbles.

•For the lump detergent, make sure to dissolve it before adding to the washer.

16

H ow to use the fabric softener

NOTE Add the detergent and fabric softener before the washing starts in the accurate locations.

		Location to add powder
		detergent for Pre-wash
Location to add	Location to add	Location to add
powder detergent	liquid detergent	fabric softener
during main wash	during main	Below fabric softener MAX line
	wash

Guide on adding fabric softener

•Fabric softener is automatically added in the final rinse cycle.

•Limit the amount of fabric softener to below MAX line.

(If you exceed the reference line, it may be added directly.)

•Do not keep the fabric softener in the detergent container for more than 2 days.

(Fabric softener will get hardened and may not automatically be added during the rinse cycle.)

•Do not use concentrated fabric softener.

(The fabric softener may not be added properly.)

•If there is water in the fabric softener inlet, pull out the container and wipe out the water before adding the fabric softener.

•Because the fabric softener is added in the final rinse cycle, the water drained from the final rinse cycle may look turbid.

17

H ow to open/close the door
