FUZZY logic control
A built-in load sensor automatically detects the laundry load and a microprocessor optimizes washing conditions such as ideal WATER LEVEL and washing time.
Advanced technology is built into the Electronic Control System which ensures the best washing result.
Turbo drum washing
The "punch + 3" washing wings and the washing tub turn in opposite directions. This makes the water current flow in two directions which improves washing efficiency.
The wash performance is also improved by the water which continually cascades into the wash bowl from small waterfalls in the washing tub.
Washer doesn't operate while the lid is open. If the lid is open during the wash, rinse or spin cycles, the operation stops for safety.
3 Step washing
3 step washing makes the best washing performance with low tangling.
Innovated washing wings
Three small washing wings generate strong and sharp washing currents to clean laundry uniformly.
Adjusted vertical movement and rotating direction of the washing action reduces laundry entanglement and improves washing power.
Device for removing lint
Lint filter catches lint and threads generated during washing to keep the laundry clean.
sensors
The sensor automatically detects the quantity of a Detergent put by a user and the temperature and the quality of water to make the best washing algorithm for washing and rinsing, which can give the best washing effect.

Introduction
Your machine requires a floor drainage slope (or hole) that will SAFELY DISPOSE of the FULL FLOW of any water that may leak out should the machine malfunction. It is therefore the OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY to make sure this machine is installed in an area with a drain hole (or slope) that will prevent any possibility of water damage to floor coverings or property.
Washing machine is to be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets and that old hose-sets should not be reused
NOTE
:
Never lay down the drain hose, as water will be discharged.
Be sure the drain hose is properly routed so it will not kink or lift from the sink.
To prevent syphoning, the drain hose should not extend more than 50 mm from the end of the hose guide.
The discharge height should be approximately 0.9~1.2m from the floor.
Connect the drain hose to the
outlet of the drain pump located at the rear of the washing machine.
Attach the clip to the drain hose. And
then push it toward the body of the washing machine as indicated by the arrow.
Place the hose guide over the laundry tub or the stand pipe.
Do not use an extension hose.
Check that sealing washers are firmly seated.
Attach the curved end of the hose to the inlet valve of the washing
machine; Tighten the coupling nuts securely by hand. (Fig. 1)
Attach the straight end of the hose to the tap.
Tighten the coupling nuts securely by hand. (Fig. 2)
Another hose can be attached to hot inlet valve and tap.
Turn on the taps and check for leaks. Tighten the coupling nuts firmly
if there is any leakage. If water pressure is strong, close the water tap completely then open it slightly.
Do not install the washer where it is directly exposed to sunlight, wind, rain etc.
Plug the power cord of this washer into a properly installed standard power point that is switched & earthed.
Your machine requires a floor drainage slope (or hole) that will SAFELY DISPOSE of the FULL
FLOW of any water that may leak out should the machine malfunction. It is therefore the OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY to make sure this machine is installed in an area with a drain hole (or slope) that will prevent any possibility of water damage to floor coverings or property.
Permissible water temperature : Max 70°C(160°F)
Permissible water pressure : Max 80psi (550kpa, 8kg/cm
2
), Min 4psi (30kpa, 0.3kg/cm2)
If water temperature & pressure is greater than above, it may cause damage to the machine. If you
have uncontrolled water temperature & pressure you should fit a temperature & pressure relief valve to ensure that water temperature & water pressure remains within the safe limits. Consult a plumber or electrician if you are unable to adjust water temperature and pressure.

Introduction
Install the washing machine on a flat and firm surface.
Level the washing machine
Install the washing machine on a level and firm surface.
Keep the washing machine more than 10cm from the wall to prevent vibration noise during spinning.
The base opening must not be obstructed by carpeting when the washing machine is installed on a carpeted floor.
Wooden floors may need reinforcing to prevent the normal vibration which occurs with an unbalanced load.
Check the level of the washing machine using a spirit level on the side of the washing cabinet
You can check the level also by visually lining up the washer with the fills, adjacent walls or cabinets.
You can level the washer using the A.L spindle fitted to the cabinet.
Screw the A.L SPINDLE legs up or down as required.
Additional height adjustment plates are provided in the accessory bag. These fit under A.L SPINDLE if required to allow for greater adjustment of the legs.
When washing machine does not even out, turn A.L SPINDLE right or left to be level.
Should the height adjustment exceed the maximum allowed by the A.L SPINDLE, place height adjustment plats provided under the legs as shown in the diagram.
If the washer is installed on a uneven,weak or tilted floor causing excessive vibration, spin failure or
” error can happen to it.
It must be placed on a firm and level floor to prevent spin failure.
If the appliance is supplied from a cord extension set or electrical portable outlet device the core extension set or electrical portable outlet device should be positioned so it is not subject to splashing or ingress of moisture.

Before Starting to Wash
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, Chenille, Towels, Nappies Lint Collectors Synthetics, Corduroy, Permanent Press, Socks

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.
Loading
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)
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.

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. (refer to page 14)
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
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
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 half­way 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.

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.

Using Fabric Softener
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 symbol( ). Follow manufacturers direction.
Fabric softener is automatically dispensed in the final rinse
with indication beep.
If you want EXTRA RINSE, you must add fabric
softener manually when indication beep rings in the final
rinse. This maximize the fabric softener function.
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.
