Safety Information

Read carefully and thoroughly 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 : Failure to comply with the instructions under this sign may result in major physical injuries or death.

Caution : Failure to comply with the instructions under this sign may result in minor physical injuries or damages to the product.

	WATER	Warning
	HEATER
	SAFETY

•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.

	PROPER	Caution
	INSTALLATION

•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. Follow details in Installation Instructions.

If not grounded properly, break down and leakage of electricity may occur, which may cause electric shock.

•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.

Function Information

Our machine provides various washing methods which suits various conditions and types of laundry.

Different types of laundry washing

FUZZY(Normal) Wash

Use this Program for everyday washing e.g. sheets, towels, T-shirts. (refer to page 16)

JEANS Wash

Use this Program for heavily soiled durable garments e.g. overalls, jeans.

Thick and heavy clothes or those which are excessively dirty like jeans or working uniforms can be washed. (refer to page 16)

SMART CLEANING

Use this program to get better rising performance. (refer to page 16)

WOOL Wash

Wool clothes (lingerie, wool, etc.) which may be easily damaged can be washed. (refer to page 16)

The fibers of machine washable woolens have been specifically modified to prevent felting when they are machine washed. Most handknitted garments are not made of machine washable wool and we recommend that you hand wash them

•Before washing your woolens check the care label for the washing instructions.

•When washing woolens use a mild Detergent recommended for washing wool.

•Hand washed woolens may be spun in a washing machine to reduce the time they take to dry.

•To dry woolens lay down them flat on a towel and pat into shape. Dry woolens out of direct sunlight. (The heat and tumble action of a dryer may cause shrinkage or felting of woolen garments.)

Some wool underlays and sheepskin products can be washed in a washing machine but may cause pump blockages. (Ensure that the whole article is suitable for machine washing and not just the backing material.)

You may wish to handwash these articles and place them in the machine to spin dry.

FAVORITE Wash

This setting allows you to store your FAVORITE wash conditions in the normal cycle memory. (refer to page 19)

SILENT Wash

Use this program to wash quietly at night. (refer to page 20)

Washing according to the condition of laundry

QUICK WASH

QUICK WASH can be selected to wash lightly soiled clothes of less than 2.0 kg in a short time. (refer to page 16)

SOAK Wash

SOAK Wash can be selected to wash heavily soiled laundry by soaking in water for some time to remove dirt and grime. (refer to page 18)

Other washing method

TUB CLEAN

Use this program to clean the inside of washing machine especially Inner tub & Outer tub . (refer to page 21)

DELAY START Wash

DELAY START Wash is used to delay the finishing time of the operation.

The number of hours to be delayed can be set by the user accordingly. (refer to page 24)

Preparation Before Washing

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)	Separate clothes according to the type and amount of soil.
• COLOR (Whites, Lights, Darks)	Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.
• LINT (Lint producers, Collectors)	Separate lint producers and lint collectors.
Lint Producers	Terry cloth, Chenille, Towels, Nappies, Diapers
Lint Collectors	Synthetics, Corduroy, Permanent Press, Socks

Check before Loading

• Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty. 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.	WIRE

•Check the washing instructions.

•Remove tissue in pockets.

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 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

WARNING

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.

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.
