: This is a warning sign specifying user’s applications which might
be dangerous.
: This is a sign specifying ‘Strictly Forbidden’ applications.
Warning
Caution
: Failure to comply with the instructions under this
sign may result in major physical injuries or death.
: Failure to comply with the instructions under this
sign may result in minor physical injuries or
damages to the product.
Warning
• 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.
Caution
• The base opening must not be obstructed by carpeting when the washing machine is installed on a
carpeted floor.
• Install or store where it will not be exposed to temperatures below freezing or exposed to the weather.
If the product is exposed to such conditions, electric shock, fire, break down or
deformation may occur.
• Properly ground washer to conform with all governing codes and ordinances. Follow details in
Installation Instructions.
If not grounded properly, break down and leakage of electricity may occur, which may
cause electric shock.
• Must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.
If the plug is placed between the wall and the machine, it may get damaged, possibly
causing fire or electric shock.
• Make sure the plug is completely pushed into the outlet.
Failure to do so may cause electric shock and fire due to overheating.

immediately discontinue operating the machine.
Call for repair. A machine that spins with its door open may cause injuries.
: Pressing Power button to turn off does NOT
disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
Never reach into washer while it is moving.
Wait until the machine has completely stopped before opening the lid.

Turn off water faucets 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 5years.
• When the air temperature is high and the water temperature is low, condensation may
occur and thus wet the floor.

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) 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 Producers Terry cloth, Chenille, Towels, Nappies
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.
•
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 page 13)
Loading
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/PAUSE” button
and submerge additional items. Close the lid and press “START/PAUSE” 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.
Do not wash water-proof textilles (Suckling outfit, baby's nappy automobile seat covers.)
Long laundry items
Use nylon nets for long, DELICATES 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.
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 proper amount of water.
Water Temperature
• The machine sets the appropriate temperature automatically according to the wash program .
You can change the Water Temperature by pressing the WASH/RINSE button.
• 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)
- WARM 29~40˚C ...(85-105˚F) Most items
- COLD* 18~24˚C ...(65-75˚F) 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.
White items, diapers, underclothing and heavily soiled, colorfast items.
Before Starting to Wash
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.

U
Using 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.
Before Starting to Wash
We recommend the use of drum type, low suding, high efficiency 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.
Using the Liquid Bleach Dispenser
The bleach dispenser automatically dilutes and dispenses
liquid chlorine bleach at the proper time in the wash cycle.
1. Check clothing care labels for special instructions.
2. Measure liquid bleach carefully, following instructions on
the bottle.
• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto
• Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach dispenser.
•

is one cup of bleach per wash cycle. Overfilling could
result in early dispensing of bleach.
Before starting the washer, pour measured amount of

powdered bleach, add it into the wash basket directly before
adding clothes.

and/or rust remover. Mixing can produce a toxic gas which may cause death
The manufacturer's recommended amount of undiluted bleach goes into the bleach dispenser. During the
final "Infusor" wash action the bleach is added to the wash load. This ensures performance won't be
diminished. Two sequential flushe through the bleach dispenser completely removes the bleach from the
dispenser. Any residual liquid left in the dispenser at the end of the cycle is water, not bleach. To prevent
self-siphoning of the bleach into the wash basket and damage to your clothes, never add more than the
maximum fill level marked on the dispenser.
Also keep clothes away from the bleach dispenser so they don't absorb any bleach droplets left around the
bleach dispenser.
Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar
