Protection against Crease Care

With the alternate rotation of the drum, wrinkling in the laundry is
minimized.

More economical by Intelligent Wash System

Intelligent Wash System detects the amount of load and water
temperature, and then determines the optimum water level and
washing time to minimize energy and water consumption.

Child-Lock

The Child-Lock system has been used to prevent children from
pressing any button to change the program during operation.

Low noise speed control system

By sensing the amount of load and balance, it evenly distributes
load to minimize the spinning noise level.

Auto Restart

If the washing machine is turned off by a power failure, it will restart

&

automatically from the position it stopped at adjusting accordingly.

freezing point.

• If the appliance is delivered in the winter months and temperatures are below freezing : Store the washing
machine at room temperature for a few hours before putting it into operation.

CAUTION concerning the Power Cord

Most appliances recommend they be placed upon a dedicated circuit; that is, a single outlet circuit
which powers only that appliance and has no additional outlets or branch circuits. Check the
specification page of this owner's manual to be certain.
Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets, extension cords,
frayed power cords, or damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these conditions
could result in electric shock or fire. Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, and if its
appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance, and have
the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized servicer.
Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched,
closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where
the cord exits the appliance.

I Washing Machine is to be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets and that old

hose-sets should not be used.

I Connecting water supply hose

► Water supply pressure must be between SOkPu and lOOOkPa

(0.d~IOkgflcnp)

► Don’t strip or crossthread when connecting Inlet hose to the valve.
► If the water supply pressure is more than lOOOkPa, a decompression

device should be Installed.

• Two rubber seals are supplied with the water inlet hoses these
are in order to prevent water leaks.

• Check water tightness of washing machine connections by
turning the tap completely on.

• Periodically check the condition of the hose and replace the hose
if necessary.

nstallation

Level adjustment

1. Adjusting the washing machine level properly prevents excessive
noise and vibration.
Install the appliance on a solid and level floor surface, preferably in a
corner of fhe room.

Timber or suspended type flooring may contribute to
excessive vibration and unblance errors.

2. If the floor is uneven, adjust the adjustable feet as required, (do not

insert pieces of wood etc. under the feet)
Make sure that all four feet are stable and resting on the floor and
then check that the appliance is perfectly level, (use a spirit level)

After the washer is level, tighten the lock nuts up towards of the base of

the washer. All lock nuts must be tightened.

In the case that the washing machine is installed on a raised
platform, it must be securely fastened in order
to eliminate the risk that it might fall off.

ij:- Diagonal Check

When pushing down the edges of the washing machine top plate diagonally, the maehine
should not move up and down at all. (Please, eheck both of two directions)
If machine rocks when pushing the machine top plate diagonally, adjust the feet again.

■ Concrete floors

• The installation surface must be clean, dry and level.

• Install washer on a flat hard floor.

■ Tile floors (Slippery floors)

• Position each foot on the Tread Mate and level the machine to suit. (Cut Tread Mate into 70x70 mm
sections and stick the pieces on to the dry tile where machine is to be placed.)

iK Tread Male is a self adhesive material used on ladders & steps that prevents slipping.

■ Wooden floors (Suspended floors)

• Wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration.

• To prevent vibration we recommend you place rubber cups under each foot, f

at least 15mm thick under the washer, secured to at least 2 floor beams with screws.

• if possible install the washer in one of the corners of the room, where the floor is more stable,
iff Insert the rubber cups to reduce vibration.

IK You can obtain the rubber cups (p/no.4620ER4002B) from the LG spares dept.

Q Important!

• Proper placement and levelling of the washer ensure long,regular and reliable operation.

• The washer must be absolutely horizontal and stand firmly in position.

• it must not "Seesaw" across corners under load.

• The installation surface must be clean, free from floor wax and other lubricant coatings.

• Do not let the feet of the washer get wet. If feet of the washer get wet, slipping may occur.

are before washing

Before the first washing

Select a cycle (COTTON 60°C, add a half load of detergent) allow the unit to wash

without clothing.
This will remove residues from the drum that may have been left during manufacturing.

Caring before washing

1. 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.

2. Sorting

To get the best results, Sort clothes Into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle.
Water temperature and spin speed and different fabrics need to be washed In different ways.
Always sort dark colors from pale colors and whites. Wash separately as dye and lint
transfer can occur causing discoloration of white etc. If possible, do not wash heavily
soiled Items with lightly soiled one.

Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light)
Color (White, Lights, Darks)
Lint (Lint producers. Collectors)

Separate clothes according to amount of soil.
Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.
Wash lint producers and lint collectors
separately.

3. Caring before loading

Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first. Large items should not be more
than half the total wash load.
Do not wash single items. This may cause an out-of-baiance load. Add one or two similar items.

• Check all pockets to make sure
that they are empty. Items such as
nails, hair clip, matches, pens,
coins and keys can damage both
your washer and your clothes.

• Close zippers, hooks and strings to
make sure that these Items don’t
snag on other clothes.

■ Pre treat dirt and stains by brushing
a little detergent dissolved In water
onto stains like collars and cuffs to
help shift dirt.
