SafetyWARNING!information

Read and follow this safety information carefully.

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life. Save these instructions.

WATER 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	• The base opening must not be obstructed by carpeting when the washing machine is installed on
INSTALLATION	a carpeted floor.
	• Install or store where it will not be exposed to temperatures below freezing or exposed to the
	weather.
	• Properly ground washer to conform with all governing codes and ordinances. Follow details in
	Installation Instructions.
	• Must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.
YOUR	• Keep the area underneath and around your appliances free of combustible materials such as lint,
LAUNDRY	paper, rags, chemicals, etc.
AREA	• Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used by or near children. Do not allow children
	to play on, with, or inside this or any other appliance.

WHEN USING THE WASHER

•Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner's Manual.

•Never reach into washer while it is moving. Wait until the machine has completely stopped before opening the lid.

•Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar and/or rust remover. Mixing different chemicals can produce a toxic gas which may cause death.

•Do not wash or dry articles that have been cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with combustible or explosive substances (such as wax, oil, paint, gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, kerosene, etc.) which may ignite or explode. Do not add these substances to the wash water. Do not use or place these substances around your washer or dryer during operation.

•The laundry process can reduce the flame retardancy of fabrics. To avoid such a result, carefully follow the garment manufacturer's wash and care instructions.

•To minimize the possibility of electric shock, unplug this appliance from the power supply or disconnect the washer at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.

NOTE: Pressing Power button to turn off does NOT disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

•Never attempt to operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or has missing or broken parts, including a damaged cord or plug.

WHEN NOT IN USE

•Turn off water faucets to relieve pressure on hoses and valves and to minimize leakage if a break or rupture should occur. Check the condition of the fill hoses; they may need replacement after 5 years.

•Before discarding a washer, or removing it from service, remove the washer lid to prevent children from hiding inside.

•Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of this appliance unless specifically recommended in this Owner's Manual, or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

Function Information

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

Fuzzy(Normal) Wash

Use this Program for everyday washing e.g. sheets, towels, T-shirts. (refer to p14)

Jean 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 p14)

Wool Wash

Delicate clothes (lingerie, wool, etc.) which may be easily damaged can be washed. (refer to p14)

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.

Economy Wash

Economy wash can be selected to wash lightly soiled clothes of less than 2.0 kg in a short time.

(refer to p14)

Speedy soak Wash

Speedy soak Wash is designed to maximize washing performance and can be selected to wash heavily soiled laundry with Fuzzy or Jean program. (refer to p14)

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 p16)
	Option Wash

When the user needs only Spin, Rinse/Spin, Rinse, Wash/Rinse, Wash, Wash/Rinse/Spin, Speedy soak/ Wash/Rinse/Spin. (refer to p17)

Preparation Before Washing

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.

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.

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.

Using Liquid Bleach

•Check clothing care label for special instructions and separate the laundry to be bleached

•Dilute liquid chlorine bleach.

•Measure the recommended amount of liquid bleach carefully following instructions on the bottle.

•Before starting the washer, pour measured amount of bleach directly into bleach dispenser. Avoid splashing or overfilling. Powdered bleach should be mixed with water before pouring.

Attention

Bleach dispenser

( )

■Never pour undiluted liquid bleach directly onto clothes or into the wash basket. This may cause change of color or damage the laundry.

■Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar and/or rust remover. Mixing can reduce a toxic gas which may cause death.

■Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach dispenser.

Use of Water, Detergent, Bleach and Softener

Using Fabric Softener

• Dilute fabric softener with water.

Undiluted fabric softener may result in spots that look like Softener dispenser ( ) oil stains.

• Measure and add the recommended amount of fabric softener into the compartment marked with this smbol().

Follow manufacturer’s direction.

or

Fabric softener is automatically dispensed in the final rinse whith indication beep.

•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 manually put during the time when the washer beeps several times before the final rinse. This function informing correct time to dispense manually is optionally applied to some models. Please keep it in mind that 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 the machine it can result in stains on your clothes or an unpleasant 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 26)

•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.

Special Guide for Stain Removal

WARNING

■Do not use or mix liquid chlorine bleach with other household chemicals such as toilet cleaners, rust removers, acid or products containing ammonia. These mixtures can produce dangerous fumes which can cause serious injury or death.

■To reduce the risk of fire or serious injury to persons or property, comply with the basic warnings listed below:

• Read and comply with all instructions on stain removal products.

•Keep stain removal products in their original labeled containers and out of children’s reach.

•Thoroughly wash any utensil used.

•Do not combine stain removal products, especially ammonia and chlorine bleach. Dangerous fumes may result.

•Never wash items which have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances because they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

•Never use highly flammable solvents, such as gasoline, inside the home. Vapors can explode on contact with flames or sparks.

For successful stain removal:

•Remove stains promptly.

•Determine the kind of stain, then follow the recommended treatment in the stain removal chart below.

•To pretreat stains, use a prewash product, liquid detergent, or a paste made from granular detergent and water.

•Use cold water on unknown stains because hot water can set stains.

•Check care label instructions for treatments to avoid on specific fabrics.

•Check for colorfastness by testing stain remover on an inside seam.

•Rinse and wash items after stain removal.

Caution

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.
