Important Safety Information

WATER HEATER SAFETY

Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two weeks or more. Hydrogen gas can be explosive under these circumstances.

If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning on all hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical appliance which is connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this process.

PROPER INSTALLATION

■ Install or store where it will not be exposed to

temperatures below freezing or exposed to the weather.

■

Properly ground washer to conform with all governing codes and ordinances.

YOUR LAUNDRY AREA

■ Keep the area underneath and around your appliances free

of combustible materials such as lint, paper, rags, chemicals, etc.

WHEN USING THE WASHER

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

■

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 Terry cloth, Chenille, Towel, diaper

Lint Collectors 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.

• Fasten zippers, hook and strings to make sure that these items don't snag on other clothes.

• Mend any torn garments or loose buttons. Tears or holes may become larger during washing.

• Remove any loose brassiere wires as they can damage your washer and clothes.

• Pretreat any dirt and stains.

• Make sure the clothes are washable in water.

• Check the washing instructions on your clothes.

Separate clothes according to the type and amount of soil

ater Level Temperature

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 and amount of detergent

(to be used) will be shown on the control panel.

• 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.

Note

• When a Wash, Wash/Rinse or Rinse only option is selected, after the wash is completed the water will

not be drained off.

• If you wish to drain the water, press the SPIN button and wait until the water in the tub has drained completely. Then press the START/PAUSE button .

• If you do not specify the water level, then Medium will be automatically selected.

• If Rinse only is selected, the process will start from Water Supply.

• The washing machine may occasionally add water while pulsator is rotating. This is to maintain the water level due to the release of air trapped in the garments.

WATER TEMPERATURE

• You can change the water temperature by pressing the WATER TEMP button. (Option depending on model).

The temperature of the water impacts the effectiveness of all laundry additives and therefore, the cleaning results. We recommend temperatures of:

Introduction

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.

Light and Large-sized clothing

Clothes including downs and woollens are light weight, large and float easily.So 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 any zippers or hooks on items before washing.

Nylon net is not supplied by LG.

White items, diapers, underclothing and heavily soiled, colorfast items.

Most items.

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 manufacturers 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.

Before Starting to Wash

se of Detergent

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 a detergent suitable for washing woolens.

AMOUNT OF 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.

The correct amount of detergent will vary depending on the amount of soil in your clothes (Jeans and work clothes 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 half-way 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.

se of Detergent

Using Softener

AVAILABLE FABRIC SOFTENER TYPE

Do not use concentrated fabric softener. This may cause some problems in automatic dispensing. For more details refer to the softener products instructions for use.

DEPOSITING FABRIC SOFTENER

• Don't use softener with detergent. Use softener in last rinse water

• When using dispenser, dilute softener(30ml) with fresh water(30ml)

• When filling dispenser, do not splash or overfill. It may stain clothes.

• Never pour fabric softener directly on clothes. It may stain them

• If spotting occurs, wet and hand rub dishwashing liquid (or mild bar soap) and rewash.

Note

Fabric Softener will be dispensed automatically during the final rinse.

If the softener is over filled, it can overflow

Before Starting to Wash

Attention

If excessive 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

• 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 powder 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.

• Open the DETERGENT Box and deposit the appropriate amount of detergent .

Where you deposit the detergent

Powder Detergent / Powder Bleach dispenser.

Using Bleach

Check fabric care labels for special instructions.

AVAILABLE BLEACH TYPE

Use oxygenated bleach. Do not use liquid bleach. For more details refer to the products instruction for use.

DEPOSITING BLEACH

• Separate the laundry to be bleached.

• Measure powdered bleach carefully, following instructions on the box.

• Before starting the washer, pour measured amount of bleach directly into bleach dispenser.

Attention

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

This may affect colors or damage clothing.

■ Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar and/or rust remover. Mixing can

produce a toxic gas which may cause death.

■ Do not pour liquid bleach into bleach dispenser.
