P flege und Wartung

■ Reinigung

1. Gehäuse

■ Jumbo drum
LG's jumbo drum can wash about 40% more load than conventional washing machines. A bigger drum improves the wash performance.
■ 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.
■ Direct Drive System
The advanced Brushless DC motor rotates the Drum directly without belt and pulley.
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.
■ Water Circulation
Spray detergent solution and water onto the load over and over. Clothes are soaked more quickly and thoroughly during wash cycle. The detergent suds can be removed more easily by the water shower during rinse cycle. The water circulation system uses both water and detergent more efficiently.
■ Safety device (Aqua-Lock)
Auqa Lock System is designed for detecting water leak during operation to prevent water from flooding over the floor.

Illustration of a single washing machine with front panel and top-mounted buttons (no text or symbols)

1. Adjusting the washing machine level 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 or load balance errors.

1. If the floor is uneven, adjust 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)

* After the washer is level, tighten the lock nuts up towards of 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 of two directions) If machine rocks when pushing the machine top plate diagonally, adjust the feet again.

■ Concrete floors(tile...)

• The installation surface must be clean, dry and level.
  • Install washer on a flat hard floor.
• Before placing the washer on tiles, apply a rubber mat under the feet.
  ※ Do not let the feet of the washer get wet. If feet of the washer get wet, slipping may occur.

■ Wooden floors

• Wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration.
• To prevent vibration we recommend you place rubber cups under each foot, at least 15mm thick under the washer, secured to at least 2 floor beams with screws.
• If possible install the washer in one of the corners of the room, where the floor is more stable.

※ Insert the rubber cups to reduce vibration.
※ You can obtain the rubber cups (p/no.4620ER3001B) from the LG spares dept.

Important!

• Proper placement and levelling of the washer ensure long, regular and reliable operation.
• The washer must be absolutely 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.

■ 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 pockets to make sure that they are empty. Items such as nails, hair clip, 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 shift dirt.

※ After washing, leave the door ajar so that air can circulate in the drum.

■ 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

(\f\/) → 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 the last rinse cycle.
• Do not open the drawer when water is supplied.
• Solvents(benzene, etc) are not allowable.

NOTE Do not pour fabric softener directly on the dothes

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.
