3-2. BEFORE STARTING TO WASH
•
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.

Sorting
Check before Loading
* 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.
Care Labels
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.
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.
Light and Large-sized clothing
Long laundry items
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.
Loading
• 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.
Pretreatment on stains or heavy soil
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.
WARNING
12
• 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)
White items, diapers, underclothing and heavily soiled, colorfast items.
- WARM 29~40°C…(85-105 F)
Most items
- COLD* 18~24°C…(65-75 F)
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 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.
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.
Water temperature
Using Water
• The machine sets the appropriate temperature automatically according to the wash program .
• You can change the water temperature by pressing the WATER TEMP button.
• 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.
• The following table shows the amount of water.
• When the water level is automatically detected, it may differ depending on the quantity of laundry even
• 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.
• The amount of a cup in the diagram is about 40g for concentrated detergent.

Attention
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.
13
Open the detergent dispenser and deposit the appropriate
amount of 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 powdered 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.
Attentión
Using Detergent
How much detergent
When you select a wash program the water level and the amount of detergent (to be used) will be shown
on the control panel. The amount of a cup in the diagram is about 40g for concentrated 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
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.
If excess 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
• 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 washer, pour measured amount of bleach
directly into bleach dispenser. Avoid splashing or overfilling.
Powdered bleach should be mixed with water before pouring.
Using Liquid Bleach

Attention
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 mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar and/or rust remover. Mixing can reduce
a toxic gas which may cause death.
Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach dispenser.
