Introduction

afety 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.

WARNING!

WATER HEATER SAFETY

PROPER INSTALLATION

YOUR LAUNDRY AREA

WHEN USING THE WASHER

WHEN NOT IN USE

• 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.

• 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.

• Properly ground washer to conform with all governing codes and ordinances. Follow details in

unction Information

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

Fuzzy(Normal) Wash

Jean Wash

Wool Wash

Economy Wash

Speedy soak Wash

Delay start Wash

Option Wash

Use this Program for everyday washing e.g. sheets, towels, T-shirts.

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.

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

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 is used to delay the finishing time of the operation. The number of hours to be delayed can be set by the user accordingly.

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

Before Starting to Wash

reparation Before Washing

• 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.

• Check the washing instructions.

• Remove tissue in pockets.

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, Chenile, Towels, Nappies, Diapers Lint Collectors Synthetics, Corduroy, Permanent Press, Socks

WIRE

Sorting

Check before Loading

* 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.

Care Labels

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.

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.

Light and Large-sized clothing

Long laundry items

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.

• 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 page11)

Pretreatment on stains or heavy soil

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.

WARNING

Before Starting to Wash

se of Water, Detergent, Bleach and Softener

Ex-Large Large Medium Small

DETERGENT WATER

• The temperature of the water impacts the effectiveness of all laundry additives and therefore, the cleaning results. We recommend temperatures of:

- HOT 49~60°C…(120-140˚F) White items, diapers, underclothing and heavily soiled, colorfast items.

- WARM 29~40°C…(85-105˚F) Most items

- COLD* 18~24°C…(65-75˚F) Only very bright colors with light soil.

• When washing in cold water additional steps may be needed:

- Adjust detergent amount and pre-dissolve detergent in warm water

- Pretreat spots and stains

- Soak heavily soiled items

- Use appropriate bleach

* Temperature below 18°C…(65˚F) will not activate laundry additives and may cause lint, residue, poor

cleaning, etc. In addition, detergent manufactures and care labels define cold water as 26~29°C…(80-85˚F). If the temperature of the water in the tub is too cold for your hands, the detergent will not activate and clean effectively.

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.

Water temperature

Using Water

• The machine sets the appropriate temperature automatically according to the wash program .

• You can change the water temperature by pressing the WATER TEMP. button.

• 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 and amount of detergent (to be used)

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.

• The amount of a cup in the diagram is about 40g for concentrated detergent.

Amount of Water Level

(refer to page 12)

Attention

If iron is present in the water the clothes may become an all-over yellow or they may be stained with brown or orange spots or streaks. Iron is not always visible. Installation of water softener or an iron filter may be necessary for severe cases.

Before Starting to Wash

Attentión

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.

Dónde deposita el detergente

Adding the detergent

Open the detergent dispenser and deposit the appropriate amount of detergent where you deposit the detergent Powder Detergent dispenser. Some detergents MUST be fully dissolved before adding to your machine to get the best wash results. 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.

Where you deposit the detergent

Powder Detergent Box

( )

• 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.

Using Liquid Bleach

Bleach dispenser

( )

Attention

■ 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.

Before Starting to Wash

se of Water, Detergent, Bleach and Softener

Using Fabric Softener

If you wish to use fabric softener we recommend

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.

• Dilute fabric softener with water. Undiluted fabric softener may result in spots that look like oil stains.

• Measure and add the recommended amount of fabric softener into the compartment marked with this smbol( ). Follow manufacturer’s direction.

 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.

Scrud(Waxy Build up)

Softener dispenser ( )

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.

• 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.

Before Starting to Wash

pecial Guide for 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.

For successful stain removal:

Follow fabric care label

instructions

■

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.

Cleaning the inside of your washing machine

Products that might damage your washing machine

• If you use fabric softener or do regular cold water washing, it is important that you occasionally clean the inside of your machine.

• Fill your machine with hot water. Add about two cups of a powder detergent that contains phosphate.

• Select Wash cycle and operate. Repeat it 2 or 3 times.

• Stop the machine, open the lid, and leave it to soak overnight.

• After soaking, drain the machine and run the machine through a regular cycle.

• We do not recommend that you wash clothes during this procedure.

• Concentrated bleaches and diaper sanitizer will cause damage to the paintwork and components of your washer.

• Hydrocarbon solvents i.e. petrol, paint thinners and lacquer thinners, etc. can dissolve plastic and blister paint (Be careful

when washing garments stained with these solvents as they are flammable DO NOT put them in washer or dryer.)

• Some pretreatment sprays or liquids can damage your washer’s control panel.
