afety Information
S
Read carefully and thoroughly go through this booklet as it contains important safety information that will protect the user from unexpected dangers and prevent potential damages to the product.
This booklet is divided into 2 parts : Warning and Caution.
: This is a warning sign specifying user’s applications which might be dangerous.
: This is a sign specifying ‘Strictly Forbidden’ applications.
WARNING
CAUTION
WATER HEATER SAFETY
PROPER INSTALLATION
: Failure to comply with the instructions under this
sign may result in major physical injuries or death.
: Failure to comply with the instructions under this sign may result in minor physical injuries or damages to the product.
WARNING
Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two weeks or more. Hydrogen gas can be explosive under these circumstances. If the HOT water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning on all Hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical appliance which is connected to the HOT water system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this process.
CAUTION
The base opening must not be obstructed by carpeting when the washing machine is installed on a carpeted floor.
Install or store where it will not be exposed to temperature below freezing or exposed to the weather (Rain/Water Splash/ Direct Sunlight).
If the product is exposed to such conditions, electric shock, fire, break down or deformation may occur.
Properly ground washer to confirm with all governing codes and ordinances. Follow details in Installation Instructions.
If not grounded properly, break down and leakage of electricity may occur, which may cause electric shock.
Machine must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.
If the plug is placed between the wall and the machine, it may get damaged, possibly causing fire or electric shock.
• Make sure the plug is completely pushed into the outlet.
Failure to do so may cause electric shock and fire due to overheating.
• Do not connect ground to a gas pipe.
It can cause explosion.
Do not connect ground to telephone wires or lightning rods.
This may be dangerous during electrical storms.
• Washer shall be placed in dry areas specifically during rainy season.
Humid conditions may cause rusting which may result in product failure.

reparation Before Washing
P
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) COLOR (Whites, Lights, Darks)
LINT (Lint Producers, Collectors)
Lint Producers Lint Collectors
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.
• Make sure the clothes are washable in water.
• Check the washing instructions.
• Remove tissue from pockets.
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.
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.
*
*
Separate clothes according to the type and amount of soil. Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics. Separate lint producers and lint collectors. Terry cloth, Towels, Nappies, Diapers Synthetics, Socks
CAUTION
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.

NOTE
NOTE
[Minimum water amount]
[Minimum water amount]
It depends on laundry load and washer mode. 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 start operating.
NOTE
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.

Water Level and Amount of Detergent
Concentrated detergent: 20g per 30 liters of water.
Regular synthetic detergent: 30g per 30 liters of water.
When sensing water levels automatically, the amount of detergent can differ according to the amount of laundry even at the same water level.
For synthetic detergent, use one that generates less bubbles. This type of detergent is specially designed
.
.
for washers
In case of using liquid detergent, dissolve it with water (detergent: water=1:1) and deposit it through the bleach deposit hole
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 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.
