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.

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)
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.
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
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 21)
OPTION WASH
When the user needs only SPIN, RINSE/SPIN, RINSE, WASH/RINSE, WASH, WASH/RINSE/SPIN, SOAK/WASH/RINSE/SPIN. (refer to page 20)
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)

Doingsocanresultindeath,explosion,orfire.
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.

Use of Water, Detergent, Bleach and Softener
Using Water
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.
Using Detergent
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 use Detergent suitable for washing woolens.
