Thank you for buying a LG Fully
Automatic Washing Machine.
Please read your owner’s manual
carefully, it provides instruction on safe
installation, use and maintenance.
Retain it for future reference.
The advanced Brushless DC motor directly drives the drum without
belt and pulley.
6 Motion
Washer is able to perform various drum actions or a combination of
different actions depending on the wash program selected.
Combined with a controlled spin speed and the ability of the drum to
rotate both left and right, the wash performance of the machine is greatly
improved, giving you perfect results every time.
Protection against creases
With the alternating rotation of the drum, creasing is minimized.
Built-in heater
Internal heater automatically heats the water to the best temperature
on selected cycles.
More economical with Intelligent Wash system
Intelligent Wash System detects the size 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 prevents children from pressing any button to change
the settings 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.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will
reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinance.
• Do not use an adapter this will defeat the grounding plug.
• If you don’t have the proper outlet, consult an electrician.
WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it does not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

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.
If the appliance is supplied from a cord extension set or an electrical portable outlet
device, The cord extension set on electrical portable outlet device must be positioned
so that it is not subject to splashing or ingress of moisture.
CAUTION
• The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without

Installation of drain hose
• The drain hose should not be placed
higher than 100 cm above the floor.
Water in the washer does not drain or
drains slowly.
• Securing the drain hose correctly will
protect the floor from damage due to
water leakage.
• If the drain hose is too long, do not force
back into the washer.
This will cause abnormal noise.
• When installing the drain hose to a sink,
secure it tightly with string.
• Securing the drain hose correctly will
protect the floor from damage due to
water leakage.

Tighten all 4
locknuts securely
1. Leveling the washing machine properly
prevents excessive noise and vibration.
Install the appliance on a solid and level
floor surface, preferably in a corner of the
room.
NOTE
• Timber or suspended type flooring
may contribute to excessive
vibration and unbalance.
2. If the floor is uneven, turn 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)
Once the washer is level, tighten the lock
•
nuts up towards the base of the washer.
All lock nuts must be tightened.
Diagonal Check
•
When pushing down the edges of the
washing machine top plate diagonally,
the machine should not move up and down
at all (Please, check both directions). If
machine rocks when pushing the machine
top plate diagonally, adjust the feet again.
NOTE
• If the washing machine is installed on a raised platform, it must be securely fastened in
order to eliminate the risk of falling off.
14
Installation
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.)
• Tread Mate 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 under washer at least 15mm thick, 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.
•
Fit the rubber cups to reduce vibration.
•
•
You can obtain the rubber cups (p/no.4620ER4002B) from the LG spares dept.
Rubber Cup
NOTE
• Proper placement and leveling of the washer will ensure long, regular and reliable
operation.
• The washer must be 100% 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.

Fabric type
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
discolouration of white etc. If possible, do not wash heavily
soiled items with lightly soiled one.
• Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light)
Separate clothes according to amount of soil.
• Color (White, Lights, Darks)
Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.
• Lint (Lint producers, Collectors)
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-balance 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 lift dirt.
• Check the folds of the flexible gasket (gray) and remove any
small articles.
• Check inside of the drum and remove any item from a previous
wash.
• Remove any clothing or items from the flexible gasket to prevent
clothing and gasket damage.
NOTE
• Before the first wash, select a cycle (Cotton 60°C, add a half load of detergent) allow the unit to
wash without clothing. This will remove residues and water from the drum that may have been
left during manufacturing.
