Jumbo drum
LG's jumbo drum can wash about 40% more load than conventional washing machines. A bigger drum improves the wash performance.
■ Protection against wrinkles
With the alternate rotation of the drum, wrinkling in the laundry is minimized.
■ More economical by Intelligent Wash System
Intelligent Wash System detects the amount of load and water temperature, and then determines the optimum water level and washing time to minimize energy and water consumption.
Child-Lock
The Child-Lock system has been used to prevent children from pressing any button to change the program during operation.
■ Low noise speed control system
By sensing the amount of load and balance, it evenly distributes load to minimize the spinning noise level.
■ Auto Restart
If the washing machine is turned off by a power failure, it will restart automatically from the position it stopped at adjusting accordingly.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.
• Keep the area underneath and around your appliances free of combustible materials such as lint, paper, rags, chemicals, etc.
• Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used by or near children. Do not allow children to play on, with, or inside this or any other appliance.
• 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.

• 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.
  • To avoid such a result, carefully follow the garment manufacturer's wash and care instructions.

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

Cold Hot(option) Hot water tap Cold water tap

▶Water supply pressure must be between 30kPa and 1000kPa (0.3\~10kg.f/cm²)
▶Don't strip or crossthread when connecting Inlet hose to the valve.
▶If the water supply pressure is more than 1000kPa, a decompression device should be installed.
- Two rubber seals are supplied with the water inlet hoses these are in order to prevent water leaks.
- Check water tightness of washing machine connections by turning the tap completely on.
• Periodically check the condition of the hose and replace the hose if necessary.
• Make sure that there is no kink on the hose and that it is not crushed.

▶When your washer has two valves,

• The Inlet hose which has red connector is for the hot water tap.
- If the washer has two valves, the energy is saved by using hot valve.

* 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 of two directions) If machine rocks when pushing the machine top plate diagonally, adjust the legs again.

■ Caring before washing

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 discoloration of white etc. If possible, do not wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled one.

Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light)

Color (White, Lights, Darks)

Lint (Lint producers, Collectors)

Separate clothes according to amount of soil.

Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.

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 the pockets to make sure that they are empty. Things such as nails, hair clip, matches, pens, coins and keys can damage both your washer and your clothes.
• Close zippers, hook 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 shift dirt.

■ Adding detergent and fabric softener

1. The Dispenser Drawer

Detergent for main wash (⊥⊥/) Fabric softener (⊥⊥/) Detergent for pre wash (⊥⊥/)

• Main wash only U
  • Pre Wash + Main Wash U 📊. 📊

2. Adding Fabric Softener

(\fizer/) → MAX MAX

• Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the fabric softener which could stain clothes.
• Do not leave the fabric softener in the detergent drawer for more than 2 days. (Fabric softener could harden)
• Softener will automatically be added during last rinse cycle.
• Do not open the drawer when water is supplied.
• Solvents(benzene, etc) are not allowable.

NO

Do not pour fabric softener directly on the clothes

3. Detergent dosage

• The detergent should be used according to the instruction of the detergent manufacture.
• If too much detergent is used more than the recommended amount, too many suds can occur and this will decrease the washing result or cause heavy load to the motor. (Causing a malfunction)
• Use powder detergent only for the front loading washer.
• Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the load. For best results, avoid oversudsing.

\* Tips

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.

■ The washing drum

• If you live in a hard water area, limescale continuously builds up in places where it cannot be seen and it is not easily removed.
  Over time the build up of scale clogs appliances, and if it is not kept in check these will eventually 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 could contain components that can attack part of your washing machine.
  * Remove the spots with a stainless steel cleaning agent.
  * Never use steel wool.
