This appliance is equipped with a power cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding power plug. The power plug must be plugged into an appropriate socket outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not modify the power cord provided with the appliance.

Operation

Do not use a sharp object like drill or pin to press or separate an operation unit.

Keep the area underneath and around the appliance free of combustible materials such as lint, paper, rags, chemicals, etc.

Do not put animals, such as pets into the appliance.

Do not leave the appliance door open. Children may hang on the door or crawl inside the appliance, causing damage or injury.

Use new hose or hose-set supplied with the appliance. Reusing old hoses can cause a water leak and subsequent property damage.

Turn off water taps to relieve pressure on hoses and valves and to minimize leakage if a break or rupture should occur. Check the condition of the fill hoses; they may need replacement after 5 years.

Never reach into the appliance while it is operating. Wait until the drum has completely stopped.

Do not put in, wash or dry articles that have been cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with combustible or explosive substances (such as waxes, wax removers, oil, paint, gasoline, degreasers, drycleaning solvents, kerosene, petrol, spot removers, turpentine, vegetable oil, cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, etc.). Improper use can cause fire or explosion.

In case of flood, disconnect the power plug and contact the LG Electronics customer information centre.

Do not use or store flammable or combustible substances (ether, benzene, alcohol, chemical, LPG, combustible spray, insecticide, air freshener, cosmetics, etc.) near the appliance.

If there is a gas leakage (isobutane, propane, natural gas, etc.), do not touch the appliance or power plug and ventilate the area immediately.

Normal machine wash

Permanent press

Delicate

Hand wash

Do not wash

2 Sorting laundry.

To get the best results, sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle.

Different fabrics need to be washed at varying temperatures and spin speeds.

Always sort dark colours from pale colours and whites. Wash separately as dye and lint transfer can occur causing discolouration of white and pale garments. If possible, do not wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled ones.

Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light) :

Separate clothes according to amount of soil.

Colour (White, Lights, Darks): Separate white fabrics from coloured fabrics.

Lint (Lint producers, Collectors): Wash lint producers and lint collectors separately.

3 Caring before loading.

Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first.

Large items should not be more than half the total wash load. Do not wash single items. This may cause an unbalanced load. Add one or two similar items.

Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty. Items such as nails, hair clips, matches, pens, coins and keys can damage both your washing machine and your clothes.

Close zippers, hooks and strings to make sure that these items don’t snag on other clothes.

Pre-treat dirt and stains by brushing a small amount of detergent dissolved water onto stains to help lift dirt.

CAUTION

Do not wash or spin any item labeled or known to be water-proof or water-resistant, even if the product care label on the item permits machine washing. Failure to follow these instructions could result in severe damage to your laundry, your washing machine and/or property damage as a result

Examples of water-proof or water-resistant items include certain mattress pads, mattress covers, rain gear, camping gear,

skiing apparel, outdoor gear and similar items.of abnormal vibration of the washing machine.

Adding Cleaning Products

Detergent Dosage

Detergent should be used according to the instruction of the detergent manufacturer and selected according to type, colour, soiling of the fabric and washing temperature.

If too much detergent is used, too many suds can occur and this will result in poor washing results or cause heavy load to the motor.

If you wish to use liquid detergent follow the guidelines provided by the detergent manufacturer.

You can pour liquid detergent directly into the main detergent drawer if you are starting the cycle immediately.

Do not use liquid detergent if you are using Time delay, or if you have selected Pre Wash, as the liquid may harden.

If too many suds occur, reduce the detergent amount.

Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the load. For best results, avoid oversudsing.

Refer to the label of the clothes, before choosing the detergent and water temperature.

When using the washing machine, use designated detergent for each type of clothing

General powdered detergents for all types of fabric

Powdered detergents for delicate fabric

Liquid detergents for all types of fabric or designated detergents only for woolonly:

For better washing performance and whitening, use detergent with the general powdered bleach.

Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the beginning of the cycle.

Dilute liquid detergent with water and pour into the drum, start the cycle.

Using liquid detergent without diluting, or leaving laundry for a long time after pouring diluted liquid detergent into the drum might cause damage, bleaching or discoloration of cloth.

NOTE

Do not let the detergent harden. Doing so may lead to blockages, poor rinse performance or odour.

Full load : According to manufacturer’s recommendation.

Part load : 3/4 of the normal amount

Minimum load : 1/2 of full load

Adding 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.

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.

NOTE

Too much detergent, bleach or softener may cause an overflow.

Adding Fabric Softener

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

Measure and add the recommended amount of fabric softener into the compartment

Follow manufacturer’s 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 maximizes the fabric softener function.marked with this symbol ( ).

Do not overfill. The dispenser holds max 35 mL. Never add more than 35 mL. 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 spelling.

The effect of adding fabric softener may vary according to its viscosity. The sticker fabric softener makes its effect lower. For a sticky 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 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 poured directly on clothes.

NOTE

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.

Adding 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 washing machine, pour the measured amount of bleach directly into the bleach dispenser. Avoid splashing or overfilling. Powdered bleach should be mixed with water before being poured into the dispenser.

NOTE

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 pour powdered bleach into the bleach dispenser.
