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 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

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.

* 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.

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, Chenile, Towels, Nappies, Diapers

Lint Collectors 

Synthetics, Corduroy, Permanent Press, Socks

•

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.

• 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. 

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.

WIRE

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.

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.

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.

• 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 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.

• The machine sets the appropriate temperature automatically according to the wash program .
• You can change the Water Temperature by pressing the WATER TEMP 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)

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.

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.

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.

• 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.

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.
