Loading
Do not wash fabrics containing flammable materials (waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.)
Load Size
The WATER LEVELF 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.
.
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.

U
Amount of WATER LEVEL
• This machine detects the quantity of laundry automatically, then sets the
WATER LEVEL and proper amount of Detergent.
• When you select a wash program, the WATER LEVEL will be shown on
the control panel.
• The following table shows the amount of water.
• 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 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
• The machine sets the appropriate temperature automatically according to the wash program.
•
You can change the Inlet Water Temperature by pressing the WATER TEMP. button. (refer to page 14)
(Machine does not have internal heater, water temp. indicates the temp of inlet water feeded to machine)
• The temperature of the water impacts the effectiveness of all laundry additives and therefore, the cleaning results.
We recommend temperatures of:
- 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* 18~24°C… (65-75 F) Only very bright colors with light soil.
• When washing in COLD water additional steps may be needed:
- 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 not activate and clean effectively.
ATTENTION
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.
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 us
Detergent suitable for was

Using Detergent
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 40g 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. 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.
Attentión
Adding the detergent
Open the detergent dispenser and deposit the appropriate
amount of detergent where you deposit the detergent.
Where you
Powder Detergent dispenser.
Some detergents MUST be fully dissolved before
adding to your machine to get the best wash results.
Check the instructions on the detergent packet.
If you use powdered detergent it is essential that the required amount be fully dissolved in very hot water
before being added to warm or hot water for the actual wash.
Pre-dissolving detergent in warm water when washing in cold water can improve its performance.

Follow manufacturer’s direction.
Softener dispenser( )
Before Starting to Wash
Fabric softener is automatically dispensed in the final rinse with

If you want extra rinse, you must add fabric softener manually
when indication beep rings in the final rinse.
This maximize the fabric softener function.
• Do not overfill. The dispenser hold max 35ml.
Never add more than 35ml.
Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the fabric softener which could result in stained clothes.
A cup with a pouring spout will help you avoid spilling.
• The effect of adding fabric softener may vary according to its viscosity. The stickier fabric softener makes
its effect the lower. For a sticky fabric softener it is recommended that it be diluted with water, then be

fabric softener has to be diluted with water before dispensed and never poured directly on 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 th e ma chine it can res ult in stains on your clothes or an unpl easant
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 21 or 30 & 31)
• 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.
