■ Ultra Capacity

The Larger drum enables not just higher head drop and stronger centrifugal force, but also less tangling and wrinkling of the laundry. Heavier loads, such as king size comforters, blankets, and curtains, can be washed.

■ Direct Drive System

The advanced Brushless DC motor directly drives the drum without belt and pulley.

■ Tilted Drum and Extra Large Door Opening

Tilted drum and extra large opening make it possible to load and unload clothing more easily.

■ Water Circulation

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

LG WD-13517RD - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - 1

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

  • Read all instructions before using the washer.
  • Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
  • Do not add gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable 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 washing machine, 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 hiding inside.

  • 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.
  • 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 fire.
  • Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

- Most installations require a minimum 10 cm clearance behind the washer.

■ Minimum installation spacing for recessed area installation.

The following dimensions shown are for the minimum spacing allowed.

Additional spacing should be considered for installation and servicing.

• Additional clearances might be required for wall, door and floor moldings.
• Additional spacing of 2.5 cm on all sides of the washer is recommended to reduce noise transfer.

Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.

■ Level floor

  • Allowable slope under entire washer is 1^ .
    • To minimize noise and vibration, the washer MUST be installed on a solidly constructed floor.
  • Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are not recommended.
  • Never install the washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.

NOTE: A firm, solid floor is even more critical to a front-loading washer than to a top-loader. If your floor is wood and/or frame construction, you may need to reinforce it. Front-loaders use substantially faster spin speeds than top-loaders, causing greater vibration. If the floor is not solid, your washer will vibrate. You will hear and feel the vibration throughout your house.

■ Power outlet

  • Must be within 60 in. (1.5 m) of either side of the washer. Do not overload the outlet with more than one appliance.
  • Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.

NOTE: It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

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 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.

■ Washing Machine is to be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets and that old hose-sets should not be used.

  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: Extend the feet no more than necessary to level the washer. The more the feet are extended, the more the washer will vibrate.

  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.

NOTE: If there are vibration and noise during the spin cycle, re-check the leveling of the washer, adjust the feet as required, and tighten the lock nuts securely to prevent changes in adjustment. Run the washer with a test load to make certain your washer is properly leveled. Put approximately 6 pounds of laundry in the machine. Then, press POWER, RINSE+SPIN, and START/PAUSE, in that order. When the machine spins at high speed, verify that it is stable. If not, adjust

* 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.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.

1. Fabric 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.

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 clothing. If possible, do not wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled ones.

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. Check 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.

sing the dispenser

The automatic dispenser consists of four compartments which hold 1) liquid chlorine bleach, 2) liquid fabric softener, 3) liquid or powdered detergent for prewash and 4) 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 most effective cleaning. After loading the laundry additives into the dispenser, close the dispenser drawer.

Add detergent, bleach and fabric softener to the automatic dispenser following these steps:

  1. Open the dispenser drawer.
  2. Load the laundry products into the appropriate compartments.
  3. Close the dispenser drawer.

■ About detergent

Low sudsing detergent is recommended for this washer. Use the manufacturer's recommended amount.

If low sudsing detergent is not available, a reduced amount of regular detergent may be used.

Because reducing the amount of detergent may reduce cleaning, it is important to pretreat stains,

sort carefully by color and soil level, and avoid overloading.

Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the load.

For best results, avoid using too much detergent.

STEAM CYCLES

LG WD-13517RD - STEAM CYCLES - 1

STEAM cycles include the Sanitary, Bulky/Large, Perm. Press, Cotton/Normal, and ALLERGIENETM 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.
