READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

⚠ WARNING For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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

  • Before use, the washer must be properly installed as described in this manual.
  • Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other fl ammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
  • Do not add gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other fl ammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
  • Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using the washer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
  • Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near children.
  • Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to prevent children from climbing inside.
  • Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather or freezing temperatures.
  • Do not tamper with controls.

  • Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt any servicing other than as described in this manual. We strongly recommend that any service be performed by a qualified individual.

  • See Installation Instructions for grounding requirements.
  • ALWAYS follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the garment manufacturer.
  • Do not place items exposed to cooking oil in your washer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fi re.
  • Use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static only as recommended by the manufacturer.
  • This washer is not designed for maritime use or for mobile installations such as in RVs, aircraft, etc.
  • Turn off the water taps and unplug the washer if the machine is to be left for an extended period of time, such as during vacations.
  • Do not use to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
  • Packaging material can be dangerous for children. There is a risk of suffocation! Keep all packaging from children.
  • Always check the inside of the washer for foreign objects before loading laundry. Keep the door closed when not in use.

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 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.

⚠ WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of 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. Failure to follow these warnings can cause serious injury, fire, electrical shock, or death.

LG WDT1652BDS - CLEARANCES - 1

text_image 21¼" (54 cm) 29½" (75.6 cm) 51" (129.5 cm) 4" (10 cm)

To ensure sufficient clearance for water lines and airflow, allow minimum clearances of at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) at the sides and 4 in. (10 cm) behind the unit. Be sure to allow for wall, door, or floor moldings that may increase the required clearances.

LG WDT1652BDS - CLEARANCES - 2

text_image 1" (2.5 cm) 27" (68.6 cm) 1" (2.5 cm)

Allow at least 24 in. (61.2 cm) in front of the washer to open the door.

FLOORING

  • To minimize noise and vibration, the washer MUST be installed on a solidly constructed floor. See the NOTE at right.
  • Allowable slope under the entire washer is 1^ maximum.
  • Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are not recommended.
  • Never install the washer on a platform or weakly supported structure. Use only an approved accessory pedestal as described below.

Using the Floor Pads

- When installing the washer on a wooden floor, place the included floor pads under the legs of the washer. This will help reduce vibration when the washer is operating.

NOTE: If a pedestal is being used, the floor pads should be placed beneath the pedestal legs.

NOTE: Please note that the floor must be strong and rigid enough to support the weight of the washer when fully loaded, without flexing or bouncing. If your floor has too much flex in it, you may need to reinforce it to make it more

rigid. A floor that is adequate for a top-loading washer may not be rigid enough for a front-loading washer, due to the difference in the spin speed and direction. If the floor is not solid, your washer may vibrate and you may hear and feel the vibration throughout your house.

NOTE: Before installing the washer, make sure the floor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oils so the washer feet can not slide easily. Leveling feet that can move or slide on the contribute to excess vibration and poor contact with the floor.

NOTE: If a drip pan must be used, take extra care to follow the instructions provided with the drip pan and make sure the leveling feet are adjusted for firm and even contact with the pan. Use of drip pans and failure to properly level the machine may result in increased vibration and noise during operation.

LEVELING THE WASHER

The drum of your new washer spins at very high speeds, up to 1,320 RPM. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must be a perfectly level, solid surface.

NOTE: Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary to level the washer. Extending the leveling feet more than necessary can cause the washer to vibrate.

LG WDT1652BDS - LEVELING THE WASHER - 1

2 Loosen the locknuts on all 4 leveling feet until you can turn the feet with the included wrench. Turn clockwise to raise the washer or counterclockwise to lower it.

NOTE:

  1. Transparent protection films are being attached to top plate, side cabinet and front cover. You could remove the films if you want.
  2. Please keep the label attached on the top plate (CIC Telephone number label, Steam caution label)
  3. Using the leg stoppers is optional Without the pedestal, insert the leg stoppers to the legs of the washer With the pedestal, please insert the leg stoppers to the legs of the pedestal

LG WDT1652BDS - NOTE: - 1

INSTALLATION OF NON-SKID PADS (OPTIONAL)

Some floor surfaces are too slippery to prevent the washer from moving on the floor during heavily unbalanced loads. While it is normal for an occasional load to be out of balance, excess noise and vibration can result from the washer moving out of position. If these conditions are encountered, follow the instructions below for installation of the non-skid pads. These pads will help prevent the washer from moving during heavy out of balance conditions thereby reducing noise and vibration.

- All four leveling feet must rest solidly on the floor. Rock the washer gently from corner to corner to make sure that the washer does not rock.

If you are installing the washer on the optional pedestal, you must use the leveling feet on the pedestal to level the washer. The washer's leveling feet should be fully retracted and locked into position with the locknuts.

LG WDT1652BDS - INSTALLATION OF NON-SKID PADS (OPTIONAL) - 1

text_image Tighten all 4 locknuts securely

3 Once the washer is level from side to side and front to back, tighten all locknuts securely. Make sure that all 4 leveling feet are in firm contact with the floor.

NOTE: To make sure that the washer is properly level, run the washer with a test load: place approximately 6 pounds of laundry in the machine. Then press POWER, press RINSE+SPIN, and then press the START/PAUSE button. See the following sections for additional information on cycle selection and operation.

Verify that the washer does not rock or vibrate excessively during the spin cycle. If the washer vibrates or shakes, adjust the leveling feet until the washer is stable and retest.

Grouping Similar Items

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

Different fabrics have different care requirements. Always wash dark colors separately from light colors and whites to prevent discoloration. If possible, do not wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled ones. The chart below shows recommended groupings.

Loading the Washer

  • Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty. Items such as clips, matches, pens, coins, and keys can damage both your washer and your clothes.
  • Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent these items from snagging or tangling on other clothes.
  • Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results.
  • Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first.
  • Large items should not be more than half of the total washload.
  • The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum should not be tightly packed with items. The door of the washer should close easily.
  • To prevent an out-of-balance load, do not wash single items. Add one or two similar items to the load. Large, bulky items, such as a blanket, comforter, or bedspread should be washed individually.
  • Do not wash or spin waterproof clothes.
  • When unloading the washer, check under the door seal for small items.

NOTE: The front loading washer rotates the wet laundry to wash it with less water. If you do not see the water during washing, it is not a problem because the laundry is sufficiently wet.

SELECTING DETERgENT

IMPORTANT: Your Steam Washer™ is designed for use with only High-Efficiency (HE) detergents. HE detergents are formulated specifically for front-load washers and contain suds-reducing agents. Always look for the HE symbol when purchasing detergent.

HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing performance, and help to keep the interior of your washer clean.

Using a regular detergent may cause oversudising and unsatisfactory performance.

IMPORTANT: Do not place or store laundry products, such as detergent, bleach, or liquid fabric softener, on top of your washer or dryer. Wipe up any spills immediately. These products can damage the finish and controls.

ABOUT THE DISPENSER

The automatic dispenser consists of four compartments which hold:

  • Liquid chlorine bleach.
  • Liquid fabric softener.
  • Liquid or powdered detergent for prewash.
  • Liquid or powdered detergent and color-safe bleach for main wash.

All laundry products can be added at once in their respective dispenser compartments. They will be dispensed at the appropriate time for the most effective cleaning.

After adding the laundry products to the dispenser, close the dispenser drawer.

To add detergent, bleach, and fabric softener to the automatic dispenser:

1 pen the dispenser drawer.
2oad the laundry products into the appropriate compartments.
3 Slowly close the dispenser drawer to avoid early dispensing of the laundry products.

NOTE: It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the dispenser compartments at the end of the cycle.

LOADING THE DISPENSER

Prewash Detergent Compartment

Add liquid or powdered detergent to this compartment when using the Prewash option. Always use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with your washing machine.

- The amount of detergent added for the Prewash option is 1/2 the amount recommended for the main wash cycle. For example, if the main wash cycle requires one measure of detergent, add 1/2 measure for the Prewash option.

NOTE: If liquid detergent is to be used for the main wash when using the pre-wash option, the liquid detergent cup accessory must be used in main wash dispenser to prevent the main wash liquid detergent from being dispensed immediately.

Main Wash Detergent Compartment

This compartment holds laundry detergent for the main wash cycle, which is added to the load at the beginning of the cycle. Always use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with your washing machine.

Never exceed the manufacturer's recommendations when adding detergent. Using too much detergent can result in detergent buildup in clothing and the washer. Either powdered or liquid detergent may be used.

  • When using liquid detergent, make sure the liquid detergent cup and insert are in place. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
  • When using powdered detergent, remove the insert and liquid detergent cup from the compartment. Powdered detergent will not dispense with the liquid detergent cup and insert in place.

NOTE: Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be added to the main wash compartment with detergent of the same type.

Liquid Bleach Compartment

This compartment holds liquid chlorine bleach, which will be dispensed automatically at the proper time during the wash cycle.

  • Do not add powdered or liquid color-safe bleach to this compartment.
  • Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations when adding bleach. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too much bleach can damage fabrics.
  • Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load or into the drum. Fabric damage can occur.

Fabric Softener Compartment

This compartment holds liquid fabric softener, which will be automatically dispensed during the final rinse cycle.

  • Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations when adding fabric softener. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too much fabric softener may result in stained clothes.
  • Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm water. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
  • Never pour fabric softener directly onto the load or into the drum.

STEAM CYCLES

LG WDT1652BDS - STEAM CYCLES - 1

STEAM cycles include the Sanitary, Bulky/Large, Perm. Press, Cotton/ Normal, and ALLERGIENE cycles. Adding the Steam option to these cycles provides superior cleaning performance while reducing energy and water consumption. By using a hot steam spray from above and cooler water below, fabrics get the cleaning benefits of a super hot wash, without the energy usage or potential damage to fabrics.

To Add STEAM to a Standard Cycle:

1 Turn on the washer and turn the cycle selector knob to select a cycle with the STEAM option.
2 Press the STEAM button. The washer will automatically adjust the cycle settings.
3 Set any other desired options.
4 Press the START/PAUSE button to start the cycle. The washer will start automatically.

CAUTION:

Do not touch the door during steam cycles. The door surface can become very hot. Allow the door lock to release before opening the door.

Do not attempt to override the door lock mechanism or reach into the washer during a steam cycle. Steam can cause severe burns.

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT STEAM CYCLES:

  • Steam may not be clearly visible during the steam cycles. This is normal. Too much steam could damage clothing.
  • Do not use steam with delicate fabrics such as wool, silk, or easily discolored fabrics.
  • Do not touch the door.

Using the SteamFresh™ Cycle

SteamFresh uses the power of steam alone to quickly reduce wrinkles and odor in fabrics. It brings new life to wrinkled clothes that have been stored for an extended time and makes heavily wrinkled clothes easier to iron. SteamFresh can also be used to help reduce odors in fabrics.

To Use the SteamFresh Cycle:

1 Turn on the washer and turn the cycle selector knob to select the SteamFresh cycle.
2 Load up to 5 items and close the door.
NOTE: If there is any moisture inside the drum, such as from a previous wash cycle, wipe the drum dry with a towel before adding clothes.
3 Press the STEAM button until the correct number of items is shown in the display. No other options need to be set.
4 Press the START/PAUSE button to start the cycle.

After the SteamFresh cycle is complete, the washer will tumble the clothes for up to 30 minutes to prevent rewrinkling.

After removing clothes from the SteamFresh cycle, they may feel slightly damp. Place clothes on a hanger for at least 10 minutes to allow them to dry.

  • The SteamFresh cycle is not recommended for use with 100% cotton clothing.
  • Remove stains from clothing before using the SteamFresh cycle; the high heat could cause stains to set permanently.
  • Do not use SteamFresh with the following items: wool, blankets, leather jackets, silk, wet clothes, lingerie, foam products, or electric blankets.
  • Best results are achieved when articles are of similar size and fabric type. Do not overload.

CYCLE SETTING BUTTONS

Each cycle has preset settings that are selected automatically. You may also customize the settings using the cycle setting buttons. Press the button for that option to view and select other settings.

The washer automatically adjusts the water level for the type and size of wash load for best results and maximum efficiency. It may seem there is no water inside the drum in some cycles, but this is normal.

NOTE: To protect your garments, not every wash/ rinse temperature, spin speed, soil level, or option is available with every cycle. See the Cycle Guide for details.

REGULAR CLEANING

WARNING:

  • Unplug the washer before cleaning to avoid the risk of electric shock. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electrical shock, or death.
  • Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents to clean the washer. They will damage the finish.

Cleaning the Exterior

Proper care of your washer can extend its life. The outside of the machine can be cleaned with warm water and a mild, nonabrasive household detergent.

Immediately wipe off any spills with a soft, damp cloth.

IMPORTANT: Do not use methylated spirits, solvents, or similar products.

Never use steel wool or abrasive cleansers; they can damage the surface.

Care and Cleaning of the Interior

Use a towel or soft cloth to wipe around the washer door opening, door seal, and door glass. These areas should be kept clean to ensure a watertight seal. Be sure to wipe under the inside rubber seal to remove any moisture or soil.

Always remove items from the washer as soon as the cycle is completed. Leaving damp items in the washer can cause wrinkling, color transfer, and odor.

Run the TUB CLEAN cycle regularly to remove detergent buildup and other residue.

NOTE: If you use the TUB CLEAN cycle on a monthly basis, the wash drum will be kept clean.

Cleaning the Steam and Water Circulation Nozzles

Use a cotton swab to remove lime or detergent buildup from the inside of the steam and water circulation nozzles. NEVER use a sharp or pointed object; you could damage the nozzles.

Removing the Stain in Door Seal

NOTE: Wear rubber gloves and eye protection while performing the following procedure:

① lute 3/4 cup (177 ml) liquid chlorine bleach with 1 gallon (3.8 L) of warm/hot water.
2 Use this solution to wipe down all surfaces of the gasket to remove the deposits that are causing any odor. (Be sure to fold back the lip of the gasket to get under the edge where residue can build up.)
3 Wipe the gasket with a dry cloth.
4 Leave the door open to allow the gasket to dry completely.

Do not use undiluted bleach as this will damage the gasket. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper use of bleach.

If the gasket cannot be cleaned properly, it should be replaced.

Read these instructions carefully before beginning the TUB CLEAN cycle.

1 Open the door and remove any clothing in the wash drum.
2 Open the dispenser drawer.

3 Add liquid chlorine bleach or tub cleaner. Some powder or tablet tub cleaners which are manufactured for this purpose can be used.

(NOTE : Do not add any laundry detergent or fabric softener to the drawer when using TUB CLEAN.)

- If using liquid chlorine bleach

Add liquid chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment of the drawer.

(NOTE : Do not exceed the maximum fill line and do not pour undiluted liquid bleach directly into the wash drum.)

- If using powder cleaner

Remove the liquid detergent cup and add powder cleaner to the main wash compartment of the drawer.

- If using tablet cleaner

Add tablet cleaner to the wash drum directly. (NOTE : Do not add tablet cleaner to the drawer.)

4 Close the drawer and washer door.

5 Select TUB CLEAN and press START.

NOTE : It is recommended that TUB CLEAN should be repeated monthly.

If mildew or musty smell already exists, run TUB CLEAN for 3 consecutive weeks.

After TUB CLEAN is complete or when the washer is not used, leave the washer door open for better ventilation and drying inside of the washer.

REGULAR CLEANING (cont.)

Storing the Washer

If the washer will not be used for an extended period of time and is in an area that could be exposed to freezing temperatures:

1 Turn off water supply tap.
2 Disconnect hoses from water supply and drain water from hoses.
3 Plug the power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
4 Add 1 gallon of nontoxic recreational vehicle (RV) antifreeze to the empty wash drum. Close door.
5 Select the spin cycle and let washer spin for 1 minute to drain out all the water.
NOTE: Not all of the RV antifreeze will be expelled.
6 Unplug the power cord, dry the drum interior with a soft cloth, and close the door.

7 Remove the inserts from the dispenser. Drain any water in compartments and dry the compartments.
8 Store the washer in an upright position.
9 To remove the antifreeze from the washer after storage, run washer through a complete cycle using detergent. Do not add laundry!

Removing Lime Buildup

If you live in an area with hard water, lime scale can form on internal components of the washer. Use of a water softener is recommended in areas with hard water. If a descaler is used, make sure that it is suitable for use in a washer, and run the TUB CLEAN cycle before washing clothing.

Lime scale and other spots may be removed from the stainless steel drum using a stainless steel cleaner. Do NOT use steel wool or abrasive cleansers; they can damage the surface.

CLEANING THE WASHER

Cleaning the Dispenser

The dispenser should be cleaned periodically to remove buildup from detergent and other laundry products.

NOTE: Do not use anything other than water to clean the drawer, inserts, and drawer opening. If any sort of household cleaner drains into the interior of the washer, run a RINSE+SPIN cycle before washing clothes.

mAINTENANCE

Cleaning the water Inlet Filters

If the washer detects that water is not entering the dispenser, an error message will show on the display. If you live in an area with hard water, this may be caused by clogged inlet filters.

IMPORTANT: Use extreme care when removing and cleaning the filters. If the filters cannot be cleaned or are damaged, do NOT operate the washer without the inlet filters. Contact LG Customer Service or a qualified LG servicer.
