CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

Environmental and Economical Tips

Energy and water consumption

•Water consumption and energy usage can be affected by the weight of the load. To make the best use of your appliance, load the maximum amount of dry clothes for the particular programme.

•The most efficient programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally those that perform at lower temperatures and longer duration.

•Noise and remaining moisture content are influenced by the spinning speed: the higher the spinning speed in the spinning phase, the higher the noise and the lower the remaining moisture content.

•Evenly loading laundry up to the capacity indicated by the manufacturer for the respective programmes will contribute to energy and water savings.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 9

•For washing smaller amounts of clothes, the automatic load recognition system will help reduce the amount of water and energy

usage.

	• Use the Speed programme for small, lightly soiled loads.	<![if ! IE]> <![endif]>ENGLISH
	• Cold water laundry detergents can be as effective at lower	<![if ! IE]> <![endif]>ENGLISH

	temperatures (about 20 ). Using 20 settings will use less energy
	than 30 or higher temperatures.

Detergent

•Detergent should be chosen according to type, colour, soiling of the fabric and the washing temperature. And it should be used according to the instruction of the detergent manufacturer. Use only detergents that are suitable for Drum (front load) type washers.

•Use less detergent on smaller loads.

-Partial load: 1/2 of the normal amount.

-Minimum load: 1/3 of full load.

Selecting Extra Options and Functions

•Select the water temperature suitable for the type of load you are washing. Follow the garment fabric care labels for best results.

•The Pre Wash option is recommended for washing a heavily soiled load.

When Using a Dry Programme

•To save energy, choose the highest possible spin speed for the wash programme when drying in a tumble dryer.

•For most drying, make sure all clothes are similar in material and thickness.

•When you select drying only, spinning runs automatically for energy efficiency.

10 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Disposal of Your Old Appliance

•This crossed-out wheeled bin symbol indicates that waste electrical and electronic products (WEEE) should be disposed of separately from the municipal waste stream.

• Old electrical products can contain hazardous substances so correct disposal of your old appliance will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health. Your old appliance may contain reusable parts that could be used to repair other products, and other valuable materials that can be recycled to conserve limited resources.

•You can take your appliance either to the shop where you purchased the product, or contact your local government waste office for details of your nearest authorised WEEE collection point. For the most up to date information for your country, please see www.lg.com/global/recycling.

Installation Place Requirements

Before installing the appliance, check the following information to make sure that the appliance should be installed in a correct place.

WARNING

• This appliance must only be used for domestic household purposes and should not be used in mobile applications.

Installation Location

•This appliance must be installed on firm flooring to minimize vibration during the spin cycle. Concrete flooring is best, being far less prone to vibration during the spin cycle than wooden floorboards or a carpeted surface.

•If it is impossible to avoid positioning the appliance next to a gas cooker or coal burning stove, an insulation (850 X 600 mm) covered with aluminum foil on the side facing the cooker or stove must be inserted between the two appliances.

•Ensure that when the appliance is installed, it is easily accessible for an engineer in the event of a breakdown.

•When installing the appliance, adjust all four feet using the transit bolt spanner provided to ensure the appliance is stable.

Floor Installation

To ensure sufficient clearance for water inlet hoses, drain hose and airflow, allow minimum clearances of at least 20 mm at the sides and 100 mm behind the appliance. Be sure to allow for wall, door, or floor moldings that may increase the required clearances.

	A	C	C

A			100 mm

B			5 mm

C			20 mm

NOTE

•Never try to level any uneven floor by putting pieces of wood, cardboard or similar materials under the appliance.

Wooden Floors (Suspended Floors)

When installing the appliance on wooden floors, use rubber cups to reduce excessive vibration and unbalance. Timber or suspended type flooring may contribute to excessive vibration and unbalance, errors and malfunction.

•To reduce vibration, we recommend placing at least 15 mm thickness of rubber cups a under each adjusting foot of the appliance, secured to at least two floor beams with screws.

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

•Fit the rubber cups to reduce vibration.

CAUTION

•If the appliance is installed on the unstable floor (e.g. wooden floor), the warranty does not cover any damages and cost occurred due to the installation on the unstable floor.
