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 th e 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, Towels, Nappies, Diapers
Lint Collectors	Synthetics, Socks

Check before Loading

• Check all pockets to make sure that they are emtpy. 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.	WIRE

•Make sure the clothes are washable in water.

•Check the washing instructions.

•Remove tissue from pockets.

CAUTION

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

•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.

(For more detail refer to page13)

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 not 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.

ARNING

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.

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.

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.

Use of Water, Detergent, Bleach and Softener

Using Water

Amount of WATER LEVEL

• This machine detects the quantity of laundry automatically, then set 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 level.

•When the WATER LEVEL is automatically detected, it may differ depending on the quantity of laundry

even though the same WATER LEVEL is indicated on the control panel.

NOTE

[Minimum water amount]

It depends on laundry load and washer mode. Or manually you can pour a certain amount of 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 start 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 cases.

•When washing in COLD water additional steps may be needed;

•Adjust Detergent amount and pre-dissolve Detergent in WARM water

•Pre-treat spot and stains

•Soak heavily soiled items

•Use appropriate bleach

* Temperature below 18°C... (65°F) will not activate laundry additives and may cause lint, residue, poor cleaning etc.

In addition, Detergent manufactures and care labels is define COLD water as 26-29°C... (80-85°F).

If the temperature of the water in the tub is too cold for your hands, the Detergent will not activate and clean effectively.

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.

	 The correct amount of detergent will vary depending
	on the amount of soil in your clothes. (Jeans and work		Applicable for models
	clothes may need more detergent, while bath towels
			7.0kg and lesser
	usually need less.)
			Rated Capacity of Model
	 For liquid and concentrated detegants, follow the
	recommondations 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 efficient. Also, it could cause environmental pollution, so use it accordingly.

Adding the detergent

Add measured detergent to the detergent compartment of the dispenser drawer. We recommend the use of powdered detergent in the dispenser when using a delay wash function.

Detergent is flushed through the dispenser at the beginning of the wash phase. Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the load.

Avoid using too much detergent in your washer, as it can lead to oversudsing and detergent residue being left on the clothes.

• 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 mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar and/or rust remove Mixing can release a toxic gas which may cause death.
