  • Do not leave the washer door open. An open door could entice children to hang on the door or crawl inside the washer.
  • Never reach into washer while it is moving. Wait until the drum has completely stopped.
  • The laundry process can reduce the flame retardant of fabrics. To avoid such a result, carefully follow the garment manufacturer's wash and care instructions.
  • Do not wash or dry articles that have been cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with combustible or explosive substances (such as wax, oil, paint, gasoline, degreasers, dry-cleaning solvents, kerosene, etc.) which may ignite or explode. Oil may remain in the tub after a whole cycle resulting in fire during drying. So, do not load oiled clothes.

- Do not slam the washer door closed or try to force the door open when locked. This could result in damage to the washer.

- When the machine runs high temperature, the front door may be very hot. Don't touch it.

- To minimize the possibility of electric shock, unplug this appliance from the power supply or disconnect the washer at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.

- When unplugging power cord, do not pull out by grasping the cord. Otherwise, the power cord may be damaged.

- Never attempt to operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or has missing or broken parts, including a damaged cord or plug.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

  • Do not use an adapter, as this will defeat the grounding plug.
  • If you do not have the proper outlet, consult an electrician.

WARNING

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

The washer must not be installed in rooms where the temperature can drop below 0°C. Please ensure that when the washer is installed, it is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a breakdown. With the washer installed, adjust all four feet using the transit bolt spanner provided, ensuring the appliance is stable, and a clearance of approximately 20 mm is left between the top of the washer and the underside of any worktop. This equipment is not designed for maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as caravans, aircraft, etc.

Electrical connection

  • Do not use an extension cord or double adapter.
  • If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. Always unplug the machine and turn off the water supply after use.
  • Connect the machine to an earthed socket in accordance with current wiring regulations.
  • The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is easily accessible. Repairs to the washing machine must only be carried out by qualified personnel.

  • Do not install your washing machine in rooms where temperatures below freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may burst under pressure. The reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point.
  • If the appliance is delivered in the winter months and temperatures are below freezing, place the washing machine at room temperature for a few hours before putting it into operation.

Installation

CAUTION

CAUTION concerning the Power cord

  • Most appliances recommend they be placed upon a dedicated circuit; that is, a single outlet circuit which powers only that appliance and has no additional outlets or branch circuits. Check the specification page of this owner's manual to be certain.
  • Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these conditions could result in an electric shock or fire.
  • Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance, and have the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized servicer.
  • Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits the appliance. If the appliance is supplied from a cord extension set or an electrical portable outlet device, the cord extension set or electrical portable outlet device must be positioned so that it is not subject to splashing or ingress of moisture.

CAUTION

  • The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
  • Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Installation

■ Connecting water supply hose

  • Water supply pressure must be between 100 kPa and 1000 kPa (1.0 - 10.0 kgf / cm²).
  • Do not strip or crossthread when connecting the inlet hose to the valve.
  • If the water supply pressure is more than 1000 kPa, a decompression device should be installed.
  • Periodically check the condition of the hose and replace the hose if necessary.

▶ Step 1: Check rubber seal inlet hose

NOTE

• After connecting the inlet hose to the water tap, turn on the water tap to flush out foreign substances (dirt, sand, or sawdust) from the water lines. Let the water drain into a bucket, and check the water temperature.

▶ Step 3: Connect the hose to the washer

Diagram showing a person using a device to interact with a washing machine, with an inset magnified view highlighting the device's motion.

• Make sure that there are no kinks in the hose and that they are not crushed. ▶ When your washer has two valves: - The inlet hose with the red connector is for the hot water tap. - If the washer has two valves, energy is saved by using the hot valve.

NOTE

• After completing the connection, if water leaks from the hose, repeat the same steps. Use the most conventional type of faucet for water supply. If the faucet is square or too big, remove the spacing ring before inserting the faucet into the adaptor.

Please use the horizontal tap

Raise, lower, lock nut. Tighten all 4 locknuts securely.

Illustration of a white washing machine with ventilation slots and a circular vent, shown with black arrows pointing to top (no text or symbols).

  1. Leveling the washing machine properly prevents excessive noise and vibration. Install the appliance on a solid and level floor surface, preferably in a corner of the room.

NOTE

- Timber or suspended type flooring may contribute to excessive vibration and unbalance.

  1. If the floor is uneven, turn the adjustable feet as required. (do not insert pieces of wood etc. under the feet) Make sure that all four feet are stable and resting on the floor and then check that the appliance is perfectly level. (use a spirit level)

- Once the washer is level, tighten the lock nuts up towards the base of the washer. All lock nuts must be tightened.

- Diagonal Check When pushing down the edges of the washing machine top plate diagonally, the machine should not move up and down at all (Please, check both directions). If machine rocks when pushing the machine top plate diagonally, adjust the feet again.

NOTE

If the washing machine is installed on a raised platform, it must be securely fastened in order to eliminate the risk of falling off.

Installation

▶ Concrete floors

  • The installation surface must be clean, dry and level. • Install washer on a flat hard floor.

▶ Tile floors (Slippery floors)

  • Position each foot on the Tread Mate and level the machine to suit. (Cut Tread Mate into 70x70 mm sections and stick the pieces on to the dry tile where machine is to be placed.)
  • Tread Mate is a self adhesive material used on ladders & steps that prevents slipping.

▶ Wooden floors (Suspended floors)

  • Wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration.
  • To prevent vibration, we recommend placing rubber cups under each foot of the washer, at least 15mm thick, secured to at least 2 floor beams with screws.

Rubber CupLG F10A8NDA - ▶ Wooden floors (Suspended floors) - 1

LG F10A8NDA - ▶ Wooden floors (Suspended floors) - 2

  • If possible, install the washer in one of the corners of the room, where the floor is more stable. • Fit the rubber cups to reduce vibration.
  • You can obtain the rubber cups (p/no.4620ER4002B) from the LG spares dept.

NOTE

  • Proper placement and leveling of the washer will ensure long, regular, and reliable operation.
  • The washer must be 100% horizontal and stand firmly in position.
  • It must not "seesaw" across corners under load.
  • The installation surface must be clean, free from floor wax and other lubricant coatings.
  • Do not let the feet of the washer get wet. If the feet of the washer get wet, slipping may occur.

1. 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.

2. Sorting

To get the best results, sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle.

Water temperature and spin speed and different fabrics need to be washed in different ways.

Always sort dark colors from pale colors and whites. Wash separately as dye and lint transfer can occur causing discolouration of white etc. If possible, do not wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled one.

- Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light) Separate clothes according to amount of soil.

• Color (White, Lights, Darks) Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.

- Lint (Lint producers, Collectors) - Wash lint producers and lint collectors separately.

3. Caring before loading

Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first. Large items should not be more than half the total wash load. Do not wash single items.

This may cause an out-of-balance load. Add one or two similar items.

- Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty. Items such as nails, hair clips, matches, pens, coins and keys can damage both your washer and your clothes.

- Close zippers, hooks and strings to make sure that these items don't snag on other clothes.

- Pre-treat dirt and stains by brushing a little detergent dissolved in water onto stains like collars and cuffs to help lift dirt.

- Check the folds of the flexible gasket (gray) and remove any small articles.

- Check inside of the drum and remove any item from a previous wash.

- Remove any clothing or items from the flexible gasket to prevent clothing and gasket damage.

NOTE

- Before the first wash, select a cycle (Cotton 60°C, add a half load of detergent) and allow the unit to wash without clothing. This will remove residues and water from the drum that may have been left during manufacturing.

Adding detergent

▶ Detergent dosage

  • Detergent should be used according to the instructions of the detergent manufacturer and selected according to type, colour, soiling of the fabric and washing temperature.
  • If too much detergent is used, too many suds can occur and this will decrease the washing result or cause heavy load to the motor.
  • It is recommended that you use powdered detergent for best results.
  • If you wish to use liquid detergent, follow guidelines provided by the detergent manufacturer.
  • You can pour liquid detergent directly into the main detergent drawer if you are starting the cycle immediately.
  • Please do not use liquid detergent if you are using 'Time Delay' as the liquid may harden, or if you have selected 'Pre Wash'.
  • If too many suds occur, please reduce the detergent amount.
  • Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the load. For best results, avoid oversudsing. • Refer to the label of the clothes before choosing the detergent and water temperature.

• To use the washing machine, put the designated detergent only.

  • General powdered detergents for all types of fabric (Cold - 95°C)
  • Powdered detergents for delicate fabric (Cold - 40°C)
  • Liquid detergents for all types of fabric (Cold - 95°C) or designated detergents only for wool (Cold - 40°C)

- For better washing performance and whitening, use the detergent with the General powdered bleach.

WARNING

- Do not let the detergent harden. Doing so may lead to blockages, poor rinse performance or bad odor.

NOTE

• Full load : according to manufacturer's recommendation. - Part load : 3/4 of the normal amount. • Minimum load : 1/2 of full load.

- Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the beginning of the cycle.

▶ Adding water softener

Illustration of a hand placing a container into a drawer with a plastic bag (no text or symbols visible)

• A water softener, such as Anti-limescale (e.g. Calgon) can be used to cut down on the use of detergent in extremely hard water areas. Dispense according to the amount specified on the packaging. First add detergent and then the water softener. - Use the quantity of detergent as for soft water.

▶ Using tablet

Maintenance

  • Before cleaning the washer interior, unplug the electrical power cord to avoid electrical shock hazards.
  • Turn off the stopcock if the machine is to be left for any length of time (e.g., holiday), especially if there is no floor drain (gully) in the immediate vicinity.

■ The water inlet filter

  • "I E" icon will be displayed on the control panel when water does not enter the detergent drawer.
  • If water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged.

It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time.

Maintenance

■ The washing drum

  • If you live in a hard water area, limescale may build up continuously in places where it cannot be seen and thus not easily removed. Over time the build up of scale clogs appliances, and if it is not kept in check these may have to be replaced.
  • Although the washing drum is made of stainless steel, specks of rust can be caused by small metal articles (paper clips, safety pins) which have been left in the drum.
  • The washing drum should be cleaned from time to time.
  • If you use descaling agents, dyes or bleaches, make sure they are suitable for washing machine use.
  • Descaler may contain chemicals that may damage part of your washing machine.
  • Remove any spots with a stainless steel cleaning agent.
  • Never use steel wool.

■ Cleaning your washer

▶ Exterior

  • Proper care of your washer can extend its life.
  • The outside of the machine can be cleaned with warm water and a neutral non-abrasive household detergent.
  • Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe with a damp cloth.
  • Try not to hit the surface with sharp objects.
  • Do not use methylated spirits, diluents or similar products.

▶ Interior

  • Dry around the washer door opening, flexible gasket and door glass.
  • Run washer through a complete cycle using hot water.
  • Repeat process if necessary.
