Raise Lower Lock nut

Tighten all 4 lock nuts securely

Diagonal Check

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

WARNING

- When stacking Main Washer on Mini Washer, use the leveling feet on Mini Washer to level both. Main Washer's leveling feet should be minimized and the locknuts turned counterclockwise to secure them.

NOTE

• Timber or suspended type flooring may contribute to excessive vibration and unbalance.
• If Mini Washer is installed on a raised platform, it must be securely fastened in order to eliminate the risk of falling off.

Using Anti-Slip Sheets (Optional)

If you install the appliance on a slippery surface, it may move because of excessive vibration. Incorrect leveling may cause malfunction through noise and vibration. If this occurs, install the anti-slip sheets under the leveling feet and adjust the level.

1 Clean the floor to attach the anti-slip sheets.
- Use a dry rag to remove and clean foreign objects and moisture. If moisture remains, the anti-slip sheets may slip.

2 Adjust the level after placing the appliance in the installation area.

Sorting Laundry

1 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.
  • Symbols on the care labels.

30°C 40°C 50°C 60°C 70°C 95°C Normal machine wash Permanent press Delicate Hand wash Do not wash

Wash temperature

2 Sorting laundry.

• To get the best results, sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle.
• Different fabrics need to be washed at varying temperatures and spin speeds.
• Wash two or more towels or knits together. If washed separately, laundry which absorbs a lot of water may not be washed well or abnormal spin-drying may occur due to leaning.

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

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

– Colour (White, Lights, Darks): Separate white fabrics from coloured fabrics.

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

3 Caring before loading.

• Do not wash 'memory wire' on female inner wear (such as a brassiere) as it may damage other clothes or the washing machine and create noise.
• 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 washing machine and your clothes.

Diagram illustrating a clothing or furniture arrangement with labeled parts and directional arrows indicating movement or transformation.

• 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 small amount of detergent dissolved water onto stains to help lift dirt.
• If an item of clothing has a long lace attached to it, arrange the lace so it cannot be tangled or put it into a washing net.
• Remove the insides of cushions, pillows, or sitting mats and only wash the cover. The insides may protrude, damaging other laundry. Plastic parts may generate abnormal vibrations.

CAUTION

- Divide laundry in large volume for washing so that the laundry can be submerged under water completely. If laundry expands during washing, it may cause damage to the laundry and parts during washing or spin.

Closing the Door and Drawer

1 Push the washing machine door until it clicks.

Line drawing of a hand pressing down on a rectangular basin (no text or symbols)

2 Push the drawer completely closed.

CAUTION

• Do not let your hands get stuck between the door and the washing machine, as this can cause injury.
• Forcing the drawer or the door to open can cause part damages and safety problems.
• Closing the drawer before having closed the door completely may scratch the door glass.
• Ensure the drawer is pulled out completely to prevent the door from contacting the front load washing machine.

NOTE

• Door lock may fail if there is too much laundry in the machine or if the door is not completely closed.
• If the product is operating or the drawer lock ⏻, indicator is displayed, the door cannot open. To open the door, press the Start/Pause button to stop the product, and when drawer lock ⏻indicator disappears, open the door. Do not force the drawer and door open.

- If, or a warning sign appears on the display, close the drawer and the door completely. After doing so, press the Start/Pause button.

• If the drawer cannot be opened completely, pull the drawer forward with a little force using both hands.
• If power failure occurs during product operation, the door cannot be opened. Provide the power again or contact the LG service centre.
• If the door cannot open due to high temperature, carry out rinsing with cold water using the Rinse+Spin programme or wait a while before opening the door.

Adding Cleaning Products Detergent Dosage

• Detergent should be used according to the instruction 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 result in poor washing results or cause heavy load to the motor.
• If you wish to use liquid detergent follow the guidelines provided by the detergent manufacturer.
• If too many suds occur, 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.
• When using the washing machine, use designated detergent for each type of clothing only:

– General powdered detergents for all types of fabric

– Powdered detergents for delicate fabric

– Liquid detergents for all types of fabric or designated detergents only for wool

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

Adding Detergent

Measure the detergent with the detergent dispenser and pour it into the tub.

Diagram of a mechanical device with a circular component inserted into a housing (no text or symbols)

• Use the provided detergent measuring cup to add only one cup of detergent.
• Reduce the amount of detergent for lightly soiled laundry. If you use too much detergent, excessive bubbles will remain after rinsing.

Adding Softeners

Adding Fabric Softener

CASE 1. When the machine chimes:

1 Press Start/Pause to pause the cycle.
- It can be paused by pressing the Start/Pause button of the Mini Washer or by using the remote control.

2 Slide open the drawer, open the door, and add the liquid fabric softener.
3 Close the door, Slide the drawer, and select the Rinse+Spin programme.
4 Press the Start/Pause to restart the cycle.

NOTE

• Do not pour fabric softener directly on the clothes.
• The softener can also be diluted with water and added directly into the drum. Do not pour undiluted softener directly onto clothing because it may stain fabrics.

Adding Water Softener

• 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 required for soft water.

CAUTION

• Do not directly put bleach to the laundry. This may cause partial discoloration and severe damage to the laundry.
• Do not use chlorine bleach or acidic cleaner when washing the laundry, as it can cause damage to clothes such as discoloration and decoloration of laundry.
