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.
COLOR (Whites,
Lights, Darks)
Lint Producers
Lint Collectors
Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty. Things such as nails, hairclips, matches,
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.
pens, coins, and keys can damage both your washer and your clothes.
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.
Treat stains AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. The longer they are left the harder they are to remove.
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
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
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.

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.
Using Detergent
(GJ)
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.

Softener dispenser (
r:tr If you want extra rinse, you must add fabric softener
I M!ffiii@ii\
o
o
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.
11
A WARNING
Do not use or mix liquid chlorine bleach with other household chemicals such as toilet cleaners, rust removers, acid or
products containing ammonia. These mixtures can produce dangerous fumes which can cause serious injury or death.
To reduce the risk of fire or serious injury to persons or property, comply with the basic warnings listed below:
Keep stain removal products in their original labeled containers and out of children's reach.
Do not combine stain removal products, especially ammonia and chlorine bleach. Dangerous fumes may result.
Never wash items which have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents
Never use highly flammable solvents, such as gasoline, inside the home. Vapors can explode on contact with flames or sparks.
or other flammable or explosive substances because they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
Determine the kind of stain, then follow the recommended treatment in the stain
removal chart below.
To pretreat stains, use a prewash product, liquid detergent, or a paste made from
granular detergent and water.
Use cold water on unknown stains because hot water can set stains.
