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

Different types of laundry washing

FUZZY(Normal)

Introduction

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

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 Was h 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, WA SH/RINSE, WASH, WASH/RINSE/SPIN, SOAK/WA SH/RINSE/SPIN. (refer to page 20)

reparation 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)

• COLOR (Whites, Lights, Darks) Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.

• LINT (Lint producers, Collectors) Separate lint producers and lint collectors.

Lint Producers Lint Collectors

Separate clothes according to the type and amount of soil.

Terry cloth, Chenille, To wels, Nappies, Diapers 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.

• 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)

Do not wash fabrics containing flammable materials (waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.).

Load Size

The WA TER 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

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.

WARNI NG

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.

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.

Water Temperature

• You can change the Water Temperature by pressing the WATER TEMP. button. (refer to page 14)

(Machine does not have internal heater, water temp. indicates the temp of inlet water feeded to machine)

• 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.

NOTE

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.

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 us Detergent suitable for washing woolens.

Before Starting to Wash

Water Level and Amount of Detergent

Concentrated detergent: 20g per 30 liters of water.

Regular synthetic detergent: 30g per 30 liters of water.

When sensing water levels automatically, the amount of detergent can differ according to the amount of laundry even at the same water level.

For synthetic detergent, use one that generates less bubbles. This type of detergent is specially designed for washers

In case of using liquid detergent, dissolve it with water (detergent: water=1:1) and deposit it through the bleach deposit hole

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 cotribute 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.

Powder Detergent Box

Where you deposit the detergent

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

NOTE

n Never pour undiluted liquid bleach directly onto clothes or into the wash basket.

This may cause change of color or damage the laundry

n Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach dispenser.

compartment marked with this symbol( ). Follow manufacturer’s direction.

Softener dispenser( )

Before Starting to Wash

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 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 28)

• 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.
