•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.

Care Labels
* Look for acare label on your clothes This will tell you about the fabric content of your g arment 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 Produ cers |
Terry cloth, Chenille Towels, Nappies, Diapers |
Lint Collectors |
Synthetics, Corduroy, P ermanent Press, Socks |
Check before Loading
•Check all pockets to make sure that they are emtpy. 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)
Loading
Do not wash fabrics containing flammable materials (waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.).
Load Size
The WATER LEVELF should just cover the clothes. Adjust the load size accordingly. Loosely load clothes not 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.

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.
FULL
•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.
Inlet Water Temperature
•You can change the Inlet Water Temperature by pressing the INLETWATERTEMP.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 use Detergent suitable for washing woolens.
Water Level and Amount of Detergent
λConcentrated detergent: 20g per 30 liters of water.
λRegular synthetic detergent: 30g per 30 liters of water.
λWhen sensing water levels automatically, the amount of detergent can differ according to the amount of laundry
even at the same water level.
.
λ For synthetic detergent, use one that generates less
.
bubbles. This type of detergent is specially designed for washers
λIn case of using liquid detergent, dissolve it with water (detergent: water=1:1) and deposit it through the bleach deposit hole

* Rated Capacity of Model
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
11
<![if ! IE]><![endif]>Wash to Starting Before
Add measured detergent to the detergent compartment of the dispenser drawer. We recommend the use of powdered detergent in the dispenser when using a delay wash function.
Detergent is flushed through the dispenser at the beginning of the wash phase. Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the load.
Avoid using too much detergent in your washer, as it can lead to oversudsing and detergent residue being left on the clothes.
Using Liquid Bleach
• Check clothing care label for special instructions and separate the |
Bleach ispenserd |
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
nNever pour u diluted liquid bleach directly o to clothes or i to the wash basket.
This may cause change of color or damage the laundry. nDo ot pour powdered bleach i to bleach dispe ser.
