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,

LINT (Lint producers, Collectors)

Separate clothes according to the type and amount of soil.

Before washing treat special stains with bar soaps, liquid detergent or a paste of water and granular detergent.
Treat stains AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. The longer they are left the harder they are to remove.

(For more detail refer to pagell)


Loading

A WARNING
Fire Hazard

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

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.

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.

Using Water

Amount of 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.

though the same water level is indicated on the control panel.

[ t!ati!fful\

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.

Using Detergent

Detergent
Follow the detergent package directions. Using too little detergent is a common cause of l aundry 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


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 offoam 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


Open the detergent dispenser and deposit the appropriate
amount of detergent
where you deposit the detergent
Powder Detergent dispenser.
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.

Powder Detergent Box

(GJ)

Using Liquid Bleach

Check clothing care label for special instructions and separate the
laundry to be bleached
Dilute liquid chlorine bleach.
Measure the recommended amount ofliquid 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.

m;ma.J.

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.

10

Using Fabric Softener


o

Dilute fabric softener with water.


Undiluted fabric softener may result in spots that look like oil
stains.

Softener dispenser (

Measure and add the recommended amount of fabric softener


into the compartment marked with this symbol( ).
Follow manufacturer's direction.

r:tr Fabric softener is automatically dispensed in the fmal rinse

with indication beep.

r:tr If you want extra rinse, you must add fabric softener

manually when indication beep rings in the fmal rinse.


This maximize the fabric softener function.

Do not overfill. The dispenser hold max 35mL.


Never add more than 35mL.
Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the fabric softener
which could result in stained clothes. A cup with a pouring spout will help you avoid spilling.
The effect of adding fabric softener may vary according to its viscosity. The stickier fabric softener makes its
effect the lower. For a sticky fabric softener it is recommended that it be diluted with water, then be manually
put during the time when the washer beeps several times before the final rinse. This function informing
correct time to dispense manually is optionally applied to some models. Please keep it in mind that fabric
softener has to be diluted with water before dispensed and never poured directly on clothes.

I M!ffiii@ii\

Do not mix with detergent or bleach.


Never pour fabric softener directly on clothes. It may stain them.
Do not stop the washer during the first spin for timely dispensing.
Option washing is not designed to be used with fabric softener dispenser.

Scrud(Waxy Bui ld up)


Scrud is the name given to the waxy build-up that can occur within any washer when the fabric softener
comes into contact with detergent. This build-up is not brought about by a fault in the machine.
Ifscrud is allowed to build-up in the machine it can result in stains on your clothes or an unpleasant
smell in your washer.

If you wish to use fabric softener we recommend


o

Using fabric softener sparingly.

When filling the dispenser, do not splash or overfill.

Clean dispenser as soon as the cycle is fmished.

o
o

Clean your machine regularly. (refer to page 26)

Cold water washing increases the chance of this build-up occurring. We recommend a regular warm or hot
wash e.g. every 5th wash should be at least a warm one.
Fabric softener of thinner consistency is less likely to leave residue on the dispenser and contribute to a
build-up.

Cleaning the Inside of your Washer


If you use fabric softener or do regular cold water washing, it is very important that you occasionally clean
the inside of your washer.

Fill your washer with hot water.

Add about two cups of a powdered detergent that contains phosphate.

Let it operate for several minutes.

Stop the washer, open the lid and leave it to soak overnight.

After soaking, drain the washer and run it through a normal cycle.

We do not recommend that you wash clothes during this procedure.

Products that might damage your washing machine

Concentrated bleaches and diaper sanitizer will cause damage to the paintwork and components of your washer.
Hydrocarbon solvents i.e. petrol, paint thinners and lacquer thinners, etc. can dissolve plastic and blister paint
(Be careful when washing garments stained with these solvents as they are flammable DO NOT put them in
washer or dryer.)

Some pretreatment sprays or liquids can damage your washer's control panel.

Use of dyes in your washer may cause staining of the plastic components. The dye will not damage the machine
but we suggest you thoroughly clean your washer afterwards. We do not recommend the use of dye strippers in
your washer.

Do not use your washer lid as a work surface.
