Most handknitted garments are not made of machine washable wool and we recommend that you hand wash them

	• Before washing your woolens check the care label for the washing instructions.
	• When washing woolens use a mild Detergent recommended for washing wool.
	• Hand washed woolens may be spun in a washing machine to reduce the time they take to dry.
	• To dry woolens lay down them flat on a towel and pat into shape. Dry woolens out of direct sunlight. (The heat and tumble act			ion of a
	dryer may cause shrinkage or felting of woolen garments.) Some wool underlays and sheepskin products can be washed in a washing
	machine but may cause pump blockages. (Ensure that the whole article is suitable for machine washing and not just the backing
	material.) You may wish to handwash these articles and place them in the machine to spin dry.

Preparation Before Washing

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.

Sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle, Water Temperature and spin speed.

Sorting

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, Nappies, Diapers
Lint Collectors		Synthetics, Corduroy, Permanent Press, Socks

Check before Loading

•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.

CAUTION

WIRE

Do not wash or spin any item labeled or known to be water-proof or water-resistant, even if the product care label on the item permits machine washing. Failure to follow these instructions could result in severe damage to

your laundry, your washer and/or property damage as a result of abnormal vibration of the washer.

- Examples of water-proof or water-resistant items include certain mattress pads, mattress covers, rain gear, camping gear, skiing apparel , outdoor gear and similar items.

Pretreatment on stains or heavy soil

when placing them in the washer. of water and granular Detergent.

they are to remove.

Loading

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

Load Size

The WATER LEVEL should just cover the clothes. Adjust the load size accordingly. Loosely load clothes no higher than the top row of holes in the

washer tub. To add items after washer has started, press Start button and submerge additional items. Close the lid and press Start button again to restart.

Light and Large-sized clothing

Clothes like downs and woollens are light weight, large and float easily. Use a nylon net and wash them in a small amount of water. If the laundry floats during the wash cycle, it may become damaged. Use dissolved Detergent to prevent the Detergent from clumping.

(For more detail refer to page13)

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Never place items in the washer that are dampened 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.

Long laundry items

Use nylon nets for long, DELICATE items. For laundry with long strings or long length, a net will prevent tangling during washing. Fasten zippers, hook, and strings to make sure that these items don't

snag on other clothes.

Nylon net is not supplied by LG.

[ Minimum water amount ]

It depends on laundry load and washer model. Or manually you can pour a certain amount water into tub directly to some height. That’s because if water level reaches to the some height sensed by washer itself, washer automatically operates. In other words, it is needed to pour water to the point when washer starts operating.

NOTE

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

Using Dispenser Drawer

Using the Dispenser Drawer

The dispenser drawer contains 2 compartments:

•Liquid Fabric Softener

•Liquid or Powder Low-Sudsing, High-Efficiency Detergent

The dispenser automatically dispenses additives at the proper time in the wash cycle. 1. Slowly open the dispenser drawer by pulling the drawer out until it stops.

2. After adding laundry products, slowly close the dispenser drawer. Closing the drawer too quickly could result in early dispensing of additives.

•Avoid overfilling or splashing when adding laundry products to the dispenser. Doing so could result in early dispensing of laundry products.

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

NOTE : Do not use bleach in the dispenser drawer.

10

Using Detergent

Detergent

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.

Choosing the right Detergent

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

Detergent suitable for washing woolens.

How much Detergent

The correct amount of Detergent will vary depending on the amount of soil in your clothes (Jeans and work clothes may need more Detergent, while bath towels usually need less.).

For liquid and concentrated Detergents, follow the recommendations of the Detergent manufacturer.

Note: To check you are using the correct amount of Detergent, lift the lid of your machine about halfway through the wash. There should be a thin layer of foam over the surface of the water. Lots of foam may look good, but it does not contribute to cleaning your clothes. No foam means not enough Detergent has been used; soil and lint can settle back on the clothes or the washing machine.

If excess Detergent is used, the rinse will not be as clean and efficient. Also, it could cause environmental pollution, so use it accordingly.

Adding Detergent

Note : Using Liquid detergent

-Dilute Liquid detergent with water and pour into the tub, start the cycle.

-Delay wash course is not available if you use liquid detergent.

Attention

Using liquid detergent without diluting, or leaving laundry for a long time after pouring diluted liquid detergent into the tub might cause damage, bleaching or discoloration of cloth.

11

Use of Water, Dispenser Drawer, Detergent, Bleach and Softener

Using Liquid Bleach

• Check clothing care label for special instructions and separate the Bleach dispenser laundry to be bleached

• Dilute liquid chlorine bleach.

• Measure the recommended amount of liquid bleach carefully following instructions on the bottle.

• Before starting the washer, pour measured amount of bleach directly into bleach dispenser. Avoid splashing or overfilling. Powdered bleach should be mixed with water before pouring.

NOTE

Never pour undiluted liquid bleach directly onto clothes or into the wash basket.

This may cause change of color or damage the laundry.

Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach dispenser.

Using Fabric Softener

If desired, pour the recommended amount of liquid fabric softener into the right-hand compartment.

Use only liquid fabric softener.

Dilute with water to the maximum fill line.

• Do not exceed the maximum fill line.

Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the fabric softener, which could stain clothes.

NOTE : Do not pour fabric softener directly on the wash load. It may stain the clothes.

Attention

Do not mix with Detergent or bleach.

Never pour fabric softener directly on clothes. It may stain them.

Do not stop the washer during the first spin for timely dispensing.

Option washing is not designed to be used with fabric softener dispenser.

Scrud(Waxy Build up)

Scrud is the name given to the waxy build-up that can occur within any washer when the fabric softener comes into contact with Detergent. This build-up is not brought about by a fault in the machine.

If scrud is allowed to build-up in the machine it can result in stains on your clothes or an unpleasant smell in your washer.

If you wish to use fabric softener we recommend

•Using fabric softener sparingly.

•When filling the dispenser, do not splash or overfill.

•Clean dispenser as soon as the cycle is finished.

• Clean your machine regularly.

(refer to page 23 or 34)

•Cold water washing increases the chance of this build-up occurring. We recommend a regular WARM or HOT wash e.g. every 5th wash should be at least a warm one.

•Fabric softener of thinner consistency is less likely to leave residue on the dispenser and contribute to a build-up.
