Function Information

Our machine provides various washing methods which suits various conditions and types of laundry.

Different types of laundry washing

Fuzzy(Normal) Wash

	Use this Program for everyday washing e.g. sheets, towels, T-shirts.			(refer to page 16)
	Use for blanket or duvet with (hand wash) sign.			(refer to page 16)
	Smart Rinse
				(refer to page 16)
	Use this program to get better rising performance.
	Wool clothes (lingerie, wool, etc.) which may be easily damaged can be washed.			(refer to page 16)

The fibers of machine washable woolens have been specifically modified to prevent felting when they are machine washed.

Most handknitted garments are not made of machine washable wool and we recommend that you hand wash them

•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.

Favorite Wash

This setting allows you to store your Favorite wash conditions in the normal cycle memory. (refer to page 19)

Eco Wash

Preparation Before Washing

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, Diapers
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.

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 washer and/or property damage as a result of abnormal vibration of the washer.

-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.

WARNING

size

.

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

Fire Hazard

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.

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.

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 case	s.

Using the Dispenser Drawer

	The dispenser drawer contains 2 compartments:
	• Liquid Fabric Softener
	• Liquid or Powder Low-Sudsing, High-Efficiency Detergent
	The dispenser automatically dispenses additives at the proper time in the wash cycle.
	1. Slowly open the dispenser drawer by pulling the drawer out until it stops.
	2. After adding laundry products, slowly close the dispenser drawer. Closing the
	drawer too quickly could result in early dispensing of additives.
	• Avoid overfilling or splashing when adding laundry products to the dispenser. Doing
	so could result in early dispensing of laundry products.
	At the end of the cycle, you may see water in the compartments. This is part of the
	normal operation of the washer.
10	NOTE	: Do not use bleach in the dispenser drawer.

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.

Using Detergent

How much Detergent

The correct amount of Detergent will vary depending on the amount of soil in your clothes (Jeans and work cloches 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 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 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.

If excess Detergent is used, the rinse will not be as clean and efficient. Also, it could cause environmental pollution, so use it accordingly.
