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 temperatures below freezing or
exposed to the weather.
If the product is exposed to such conditions, electric shock, fire, break
down or deformation may occur
• Properly ground washer to conform with all governing codes and ordinances.

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)
(Whites, Lights, Darks)
• COLOR
(Lint producers, Collectors)
• LINT
Separate clothes according to the type and amount of soil.
Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.
Separate lint producers and lint collectors.

• Remove belts, under wires, 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.
WIRE
• Remove tissue in 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
• Use ‘PreWash+Normal’ cycle for very soiled clothes. In case of heavily soiled clothes, pretreatment
may require before the cycle.
• 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 page 13)
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.
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.
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.

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.
Before Starting to Wash
NOTE
[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.
Water Temperature (WARM,COLD : Option for Only 2 Vale)
- HOT 49~60 °C …(120-140˚F) White items, diapers, underclothing and heavily soiled, colorfast items.
- WARM 29~40 °C …(85-105˚F) Most items
- COLD *18~40 °C …(65-75˚F) Only very bright colors with light soil.
- Adjust Detergent amount and pre-dissolve Detergent in Warm water
- Pretreat spots 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 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

How much Detergent
When you select a wash Program the water level and the amount of detergent (to be used) will be
shown on the control panel. The amount of a cup in the diagram is about 40 g for concentrated
detergent. The correct amount of Detergent will vary depending on the amount of soil in your clothes
(Jeans and work cloches 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
half-way through the wash. There should be a thin layer of foam over the surface of the water.
