BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following.

y Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this owner’s Manual.

y Before use, the washer must be properly installed as described in this manual. y Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gaso-

line, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that

could ignite or explode.

y Do not add gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash

wate r. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

y Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used

for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for

such a period, before using the washer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

y Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the

washer is used near children.

y Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the lid to prevent children from

climbing inside. y Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather or freezing temperatures. y Do not tamper with controls.

y Keep the area underneath and around your appliances free of combustible materials (lint, paper, rags,

etc.), gasoline, chemicals and other flammable vapors and liquids. y Service must be performed by a qualified service technician. Do not disassemble the washer.

y See Installation Instructions for grounding requirements. y WARNING : This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth

defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

You will be killed or seriously injured if you don’t immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions. You may be slightly injured or cause damage to the product if you do not follow

CONNECTING THE WATER LINES

y LG recommends the use of LG hoses. Any leak-

ing, property damage, or damage to the washing machine caused by an improper installation or by the use of Non-LG hoses is not covered under the terms of the LG warranty and is the sole responsibility of the customer and/or an installer.

y Water supply pressure must be between 14.5 psi

and 116 psi (100~80 0 kPa). If the water supply pressure is more than 116 psi, a pressure reducing valve must be installed.

y Periodically check the hose for cracks, leaks, and

wear, and replace the hose if necessary.

y Make sure that the water lines are not stretched,

pinched, crushed, or kinked.

y The washer should never be installed or stored in a

location subject to freezing temperatures. Damage to the water lines and internal mechanisms of the washer can result. If the washer was exposed to freezing temperatures prior to installation, allow it to stand at room temperature for several hours before use and check for leaks prior to operation.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

LEVELING THE WASHER

The tub of your new washer spins at very high speeds. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must be a level, solid surface.

NOTE:

• Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary to level the washer. Extending the leveling feet more than necessary can cause the washer to vibrate.

• Before installing the washer, make sure that the floor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oils so the washer feet cannot slide easily. Leveling feet that move or slide on the floor can contribute to excessive vibration and noise due to poor contact with the floor.

All four leveling feet must rest solidly on the floor. Attempt to rock the washer from corner to corner to make sure that all four leveling feet are in firm contact with the floor.

1. Position the washer in its final location, taking spe-

cial care not to pinch, strain, or crush the water and drain lines. Place a level across the top of the washer.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

SORTING WASH LOADS

CAUTION

y Do not load items higher than the top edge of

the tub. Failure to follow this caution can result

in leakage or damage to fabrics.

y Use the BULK Y cycle for buoyant or nonabsor-

bent items such as pillows or comforters. Fail-

ure to follow this caution can result in leakage.

y If possible, do not wash any water-resistant

items. If you must, please select the BULKY cycle.

GROUPING SIMILAR ITEMS

For the best washing results, and to reduce the possibility of damage to clothing, care should be taken to sort the clothing into loads that are made up of similar items.

Mixing different fabric types and/or soil levels can result in poor wash performance, color transfer, discoloration, fabric damage or linting. Fabrics should be sorted into groups as described below.

COLORS

Sort articles by color. Wash dark clothes together in a separate load from light colors or whites. Mixing dark clothes with light clothes can result in dye transfer or discoloration of the lighter clothes.

SOIL LEVEL

Wash heavily soiled clothing together. Washing lightly soiled clothing in the same load with heavily soiled clothing could result in poor wash performance for the lightly soiled clothing.

FAB RIC TYPE

Delicate articles should not be mixed with heavier or sturdier fabric types. Washing heavier fabrics in a delicate load can result in poor wash performance for the heavier fabrics and possible damage to the delicates.

LINT TYPE

Some fabrics attract and bind lint to them while others give off lint in the laundry process. Avoid mixing these lint collectors and lint producers in the same load. Mixing these fabrics will result in pilling and linting on the lint collectors. (For example, lint collector – knit sweater; lint producer – terry cloth towels.)

SORT LAUNDRY…

By Colors By Soil By Fabric By Lint

White Heavy Delicates Lint Producer Lights Normal Easy Care Line Collector Darks Light Sturdy

FABRIC CARE LABELS

Many articles of clothing include a fabric care label. Using the chart below, adjust the cycle and option selections to care for your clothing according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Fabric Care Labels

LOADING THE WASHER

y Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty.

Items such as clips, matches, pens, coins, and keys can damage both your washer and your clothes.

y Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent

these items from snagging or tangling on other

clothes. y Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results. y Combine large and small items in a load. Load large

items first. y Large items should not be more than half of the

total wash load. y The washer can be fully loaded, but the tub should

not be tightly packed with items. The lid of the

washer should close easily. y To prevent an out- of-balance load, do not wash sin-

gle items. Add one or two similar items to the load.

Large, bulky items, such as a blanket, comforter, or

bedspread, should be washed individually. y Do not wash or spin waterproof items, such as rain

coats, sleeping bags, etc. y The washer will not fill or operate with the lid open.

NOTE: Use the BULKY cycle for large or bulky items such as poly-filled jackets, comforters, pillows, etc. These items may not be as absorbent as other laundry items and should be sorted into a separate wash load for optimal results.

Bulky items should be placed as far down in the tub as possible for optimal results. Always place buoyant items at the bottom of the tub. The washer will automatically detect the load size. Because of the high-efficiency wash system, the water level may not completely cover the load.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

ABOUT THE DISPENSERS

The automatic dispenser consists of two compartments which hold:

y Liquid fabric softener. y Liquid or powdered detergent for main wash.

Main wash Detergent Compartment

Liquid Fabric Softener Compartment

MAIN WASH DETERGENT COMPARTMENT

This compartment holds laundry detergent for the main wash cycle. The detergent is added to the load at the beginning of the cycle. Always use High-Efficiency (HE) detergent with your washing machine. Either powdered or liquid detergent may be used.

Never exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding detergent. Using too much detergent can result in detergent buildup in clothing and the washer.

FABRIC SOFTENER COMPARTMENT

This compartment holds liquid fabric softener, which is automatically dispensed during the final rinse cycle.

Never exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding softener. Using too much fabric softener can result in buildup in clothing and the washer. Either powdered or liquid fabric softener may be used.

y Always follow the manufacturer’s recommenda-

tions when adding fabric softener. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too much fabric softener may stain clothes.

y Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm

water. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.

y Never pour fabric softener directly onto the load

or into the tub.

DETERGENT AND DISPENSER USE

A WORD ABOUT DETERGENTS

High-Ef ficiency (HE) detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing performance, and help to keep the interior of your washer cl ean. Using detergent t hat is not HE may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance which could result in error codes, cycle failure, and machine damage.

Maximum

Normal Load Amount

Liquid

Detergent

For proper wash performance, always measure the detergent using the measurements provided by the detergent manufacturer.

The normal amount of HE detergent needed, for average loads, is less than ½ of the recommended maximum. Use less detergent for soft water, light soil or smaller loads. Never use more than the maximum amount recommended by the detergent manufacturer.

Detergent

Powder

DESIGNED TO USE ONLY HIGH-EFFICIENCY (HE) DETERGENT

IM P O R TA NT: Your washing machine is designed for use with only High- Efficiency (HE) detergents. HE detergents are formulated specifically for High-Efficiency washers and contain suds-reducing agents. Always look for the HE symbol when purchasing detergent.

IM P O R TA NT: Not all detergents are the same. Pay careful attention to the amount of detergent used to avoid oversudsing, poor rinsing and detergent buildup in clothing, and residue buildup that can contribute to odors in the machine. NEVER use a cup or scoop other than the one supplied by the manufacturer of the detergent you are using. Never use more than the maximum amount of detergent recommended by the manufacturer. A full scoop or measure of detergent should only be used for very large and heavily soiled loads. Using too much de tergent can result in detergent buildup in the washer and in your clothes.

Always measure the detergent amount. While HE detergents are designed for this type of washing machine, be careful when measuring the detergent. For most normal loads, no more than 1/4 to 1/2 of cap or scoop of HE detergent should be used.

NOTE:

y Extra care must be exercised when using 2X and 3X

concentrated detergents because even a little bit extra can contribute to the problems mentioned above.

y Detergents designated as HE compatible may not

provide optimal results.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

USING THE SOFTENER AND DETERGENT DISPENSER

To add detergent, bleach, and fabric softener to the automatic dispenser:

1. Open the dispenser drawer.

2. Load the laundry products into the appropriate compartments.

3. Close the drawer before starting the cycle.

4. If using fabric softener on NORMAL or HEAVY DUTY cycles, press the FABRIC SOFTENER button or select the EX TRA RINSE option.

NOTE: It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the bleach and softener compartments at the end of the cycle.

IM P O R TA NT: Do not place or store laundry products, such as detergent, bleach, or liquid fabric softener, on top of your washer or dryer. Wipe up any spills immediately. These products can damage the finish and controls.

USING THE LIQUID BLEACH DISPENSER

Bleach dispenser

1. Check clothing care labels for special instructions.

2. Measure liquid bleach carefully, following instructions on the bottle. High-efficiency washers use less water, so less bleach is needed. One half cup is enough for most loads.

3. Carefully pour the pre-measured amount of bleach directly into the bleach dispenser. If you are using powdered bleach of any kind, pour it directly into the tub before adding the laundry. Never add powdered bleach to the liquid bleach dispenser.

y Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly

onto clothes or into the tub.

y Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach dispenser. y Do not place laundry items on top of the bleach dis-

penser when loading and unloading the washer.

y Always measure and pour bleach carefully. Avoid

overfilling or splashing when adding bleach to the dispenser. The maximum capacity of the bleach dispenser is one cup of bleach per wash cycle. Overfilling could result in bleach being dispensed immediately, which can result in damage to the clothes in the washer.

SPIN ONLY

Use this option to drain the water from the tub and spin out the clothes. This can be used, for example, if the wash cycle is interrupted by a power failure. The spin speed can be adjusted by using the SPIN ONLY button.

SPECIAL DRAIN FEATURE

This washer is equipped with a special feature that is designed to make your washer as safe as possible. If the washer is paused or shut off while there is still water in the tub, the water will drain automatically after several minutes of inactivity. This helps keep children safe by reducing the possibility of water remaining in the tub.

Any water remaining in the tub will automatically drain five minutes after the washer has shut off. If the washer is paused and the START/PAUSE button is not pressed within 5 minutes, the washer will shut off and all cycle settings will be lost. Any water remaining will drain five minutes later. The washer can be turned on or restarted any time before the drain begins. However, once the water begins to drain, all functions will be suspended until the water has been completely drained and the washer shuts off.

ENGLISH

SPEED WASH

Use the Speed Wash cycle to quickly wash lightly soiled clothing and small load. For high wash and rinse efficiency, it is recommended to wash small loads of 2-3 lightly soiled garments.

Use a little detergent in this cycle. If you

NOTE:

want more rinsing, you can add extra rinse by using the Extra Rinse button.

DELICATES

This cycle is for washing lingerie or sheer and lacy clothes which can easily be damaged.

RINSE + SPIN

Select this option to rinse and spin a load separately from a regular cycle. This can be helpful in preventing fresh stains from setting in fabrics. You can change spin speed by pressing SPIN SPEED repeatedly until the desired speed is selected.

HOW TO USE

CYCLE MODIFIER BUTTONS

Each cycle has default settings that are selected automatically. You may also customize these settings using the cycle modifier buttons. Press the button for the desired modifier until the indicator light for the desired setting is lit. The washer automatically adjusts the water level for the type and size of wash load for best results and maximum efficiency. Due to the high-efficiency nature of this

product, water levels may be much lower than expected. This is normal and cleaning/rinsing performance will not be compromised.

NOTE: To protect your garments, not every wash/ rinse temperature, spin speed, soil level, or option is available with every cycle. A chime will sound and the LED will not light if a selection is not allowed.

WAS H T E MP.

WASH TEMP. selects the wash and rinse temperature combination for the selected cycle. Press the WASH TEMP. button until the indicator light for the desired setting is lit. All rinses use tap cold water.

y Select the water temperature suitable for the

type of load you are washing. Follow the garment fabric care labels for best results.

y Warm rinses are regulated at approximately 74°F

(23°C).

y Warm rinses leave the clothes dryer than cold

rinses, but will result in increased energy consumption and greater wrinkling of clothes.

y Cold rinses use less energy. The actual cold

rinse temperature depends on the temperature of the cold water at the faucet.

SPIN SPEED

Higher spin speeds extract more water from clothes, reducing drying time and saving energy.

Press the SPIN SPEED button until the desired speed is selected. Some fabrics, such as delicates, require a slower spin speed. To protect your clothing, not all spin speeds are available for all cycles.

SOIL LEVEL

Adjusting the soil level setting will modify the cycle times and/or wash actions. Press the SOIL LEVEL button until the desired soil level is selected.

NOTE: This feature needs more time for heavily soiled loads or less time for lightly soiled loads.
