Unpacking and Removing Shipping Bolts

1. Lift the washing machine off the foam base.

• After removing the carton and shipping material, lift the washing machine off the foam base. Make sure the tub support comes off with the base and is not stuck to the bottom of the washing machine.
• If you must lay the washing machine down to remove the carton base, always protect the side of the washing machine and lay it carefully on its side. DO NOT lay the washing machine on its front or back.

2. Remove the bolt assemblies.

- Starting with the bottom two shipping bolts, use the spanner (included) to fully loosen all shipping bolts by turning them counterclockwise. Remove the bolt assemblies by wiggling them slightly while pulling them out.

3. Install the hole caps.

- Locate the hole caps included in the accessory pack and install them in the shipping bolt holes.

NOTE

• Save the bolt assemblies for future use. To prevent damage to internal components, DO NOT transport the washing machine without reinstalling the shipping bolts.
• Failure to remove shipping bolts and retainers may cause severe vibration and noise, which can lead to permanent damage to the washing machine. The cord is secured to the back of the washing machine with a shipping bolt to help prevent operation with shipping bolts in place.

Wooden Floors (Suspended Floors)

• Wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration.
• To prevent vibration, we recommend placing rubber cups at least 15 mm thick under each foot of the washing machine, secured to at least two floor beams with screws.

Rubber Cup

- If possible, install the washing machine in one of the corners of the room, where the floor is more stable.

- Fit the rubber cups to reduce vibration.

- You can obtain rubber cups (p/no.4620ER4002B) from the LG Service Centre.

NOTE

• Proper placement and leveling of the washing machine will ensure long, regular, and reliable operation.
• The washing machine must be 100% horizontal and stand firmly in position.
• It must not 'seesaw' across corners under the load.
• The installation surface must be clean, free from floor wax and other lubricant coatings.
• Do not let the feet of the washing machine get wet. Failure to do so may cause vibration or noise.

Leveling the Washing Machine

If the floor is uneven, turn 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).

- Once the washing machine is level, tighten the lock nuts up towards the base of the washing machine. All lock nuts must be tightened.

- Diagonal Check

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

NOTE

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

Connecting Inlet Hose

• Water supply pressure must be between 0.1 MPa and 1.0 MPa (1.0–10.0 kgf/cm²).
• Do not strip or crossthread when connecting inlet hose to the valve.
• If the water supply pressure is more than 1.0 MPa, a decompression device should be installed.
• Periodically check the condition of the hose and replace the hose if necessary.

Checking Rubber Seal Inlet Hose

Two rubber seals are supplied with the water inlet hoses. They are used for preventing water leaks. Make sure the connection to taps is sufficiently tight.

Connecting Hose to Water Tap

Connecting screw-type hose to tap with thread

Screw the hose connector onto the water supply tap.

Connecting screw-type hose to tap without thread

1. Loosen the four fixing screws.

2. Push the adapter onto the end of the tap so that the rubber seal forms a watertight connection. Tighten the four fixing screws.

3. Push the inlet hose vertically upwards so that the rubber seal within the hose can adhere completely to the tap and then tighten it by screwing it to the right.

Connecting one-touch type hose to tap without thread

1. Unscrew the adapter ring plate and loosen the four fixing screws.

2. Remove the guide plate if the tap is too large to fit the adapter.

3. Push the adapter onto the end of the tap so that the rubber seal forms a watertight connection. Tighten the adapter ring plate and the four fixing screws.

4. Pull the connector latch plate down, push the inlet hose onto the adapter, and release the connector latch plate. Make sure the adapter locks into place.

NOTE

- After connecting the inlet hose to the water tap, turn on the water tap to flush out foreign substances (dirt, sand, sawdust, etc.) in the water lines. Let the water drain into a bucket, and check the water temperature.

Connecting Hose to Washing Machine

Make sure that there are no kinks in the hose and that they are not crushed.

When your washing machine has two valves.

- The inlet hose with the red connector is for the hot water tap.

NOTE

- After completing connection, if water leaks from the hose, repeat the same steps. Use the most conventional type of tap for the water supply. In case the tap is square or too big, remove the guide plate before inserting the tap into the adaptor.

Using the horizontal tap

Horizontal tap

Extension tap

Square tap

Installation of Drain Hose

• The drain hose should not be placed higher than 100 cm above the floor. Water in the washing machine may not drain or may drain slowly.
• Securing the drain hose correctly will protect the floor from damage due to water leakage.
• If the drain hose is too long, do not force it back into the washing machine. This will cause abnormal noise.

• When installing the drain hose to a sink, secure it tightly with string.
• Securing the drain hose correctly will protect the floor from damage due to water leakage.

OPERATION

Using the Washing Machine

Before the first wash, select a cycle (Cotton 60 °C, add a half load of detergent), allow the washing machine to wash without clothing. This will remove residue and water from the drum that may have been left during manufacturing.

1 Sort laundry and load items.

- Sort laundry by fabric type, soil level, colour and load size as needed. Open the door and load items into the washing machine.

2 Add cleaning products and/or detergent and softener.

- Add the proper amount of detergent to the detergent dispenser drawer. If desired, add bleach or fabric softener to the appropriate areas of the dispenser.

3 Turn on the washing machine.

- Press the Power button to turn ON the washing machine.

4 Choose the desired washing cycle.

- Press the Cycle button repeatedly or turn the cycle selector knob until the desired cycle is selected.

5 Begin cycle.

- Press the Start/Pause button to begin the cycle. The washing machine will agitate briefly without water to measure the weight of the load. If the Start/Pause button is not pressed within 5 minutes, the washing machine will shut off and all settings will be lost.

6 End of cycle.

- When the cycle is finished, a melody will sound. Immediately remove your clothing from the washing machine to reduce wrinkling. Check around the door seal when removing the load for small items that may be caught in the seal.

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.

Wash temperature

Normal machine wash

Permanent press

Delicate

Hand wash

Do not wash

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.
• 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.

• 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 unbalanced load. Add one or two similar items.
• 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.

• 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 in water onto stains to help lift dirt.
• Check the folds of the flexible gasket (gray) and remove any small articles.
• Check inside the drum and remove any items from a previous wash.

- Remove any clothing or items from the flexible gasket to prevent clothing and gasket damage.

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.
• You can pour liquid detergent directly into the main detergent drawer if you are starting the cycle immediately.
• Do not use liquid detergent if you are using Time delay, or if you have selected Pre Wash, as the liquid may harden.
• 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.
• Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the beginning of the cycle.

NOTE

• Do not let the detergent harden. Doing so may lead to blockages, poor rinse performance, or odour.
• Full load: According to manufacturer's recommendation. • Part load: 3/4 of the normal amount • Minimum load: 1/2 of full load

Adding Detergent and Fabric Softener

Adding detergent

• Main wash only → 📊
• Pre wash + Main wash → ∪ · ∪

NOTE

• Too much detergent, bleach or softener may cause an overflow.
• Be sure to use the appropriate amount of detergent.

Adding fabric softener

- Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the fabric softener, which may stain clothes. Close the dispenser drawer slowly.

• Do not leave the fabric softener in the detergent drawer for more than 2 days (Fabric softener may harden).
• Softener will automatically be added during the last rinse cycle.
• Do not open the drawer when water is being supplied.
• Solvents (benzene, etc) should not be used.

NOTE

- Do not pour fabric softener directly on the clothes.

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.

• Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents to clean the washing machine. They may damage the finish.

Cleaning your Washing Machine

Care After Wash

• After the cycle is finished, wipe the door and the inside of the door seal to remove any moisture.
• Leave the door open to dry the drum interior.
• Wipe the body of the washing machine with a dry cloth to remove any moisture.

Cleaning the Exterior

Proper care of your washing machine can extend its life.

Door:

- Wash with a damp cloth on the outside and inside and then dry with a soft cloth.

Exterior:

• Immediately wipe off any spills.
• Wipe with a damp cloth.
• Do not press the surface or the display with sharp objects.

Care and Cleaning of the Interior

• Use a towel or soft cloth to wipe around the washing machine door opening and door glass.
• Always remove items from the washing machine as soon as the cycle is complete. Leaving damp items in the washing machine can cause wrinkling, color transfer, and odor.
• Run the Tub Clean cycle once a month (or more often if needed) to remove detergent buildup and other residue.

Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter

• Turn off the stopcock if the washing machine is to be left for any length of time (e.g., holiday), especially if there is no floor drain (gully) in the immediate vicinity.
• If water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged. Therefore, it is a good idea to clean it occasionally.

1. Turn off the water tap and unscrew the water inlet hose.

2. Clean the filter using a hard bristle brush.

Cleaning the Drain Pump Filter

• The drain filter collects threads and small objects left in the laundry. Check regularly that the filter is clean to ensure smooth running of your washing machine.
• Allow the water to cool down before cleaning the drain pump, carrying out emergency emptying, or opening the door in an emergency.

1. Open the cover cap and pull out the hose.

2 Unplug the drain plug and open the filter by turning it to the left.

3 Remove any extraneous matter from the pump filter.

4 After cleaning, turn the pump filter and insert the drain plug.

5 Close the cover cap.

CAUTION

• First drain using the drain hose and then open the pump filter to remove any threads or objects.
• Be careful when draining, as the water may be hot.

Cleaning the Dispenser Drawer

Detergent and fabric softener may build up in the dispenser drawer. Remove the drawer and inserts and check for buildup once or twice a month.

1 Remove the detergent dispenser drawer by pulling it straight out until it stops.

- Press down hard on the disengage button and remove the drawer.

2 Remove the inserts from the drawer.

- Rinse the inserts and the drawer with warm water to remove buildup from laundry products. Use only water to clean the dispenser drawer. Dry the inserts and drawer with a soft cloth or towel.

3 To clean the drawer opening, use a cloth or small, non-metal brush to clean the recess.

- Remove all residue from the upper and lower parts of the recess.

4 Wipe any moisture off the recess with a soft cloth or towel.

5 Return the inserts to the proper compartments and replace the drawer.

Caution on Freezing During Winter

• When frozen, the product does not operate normally. Make sure to install the product where it will not freeze during winter.
• In case the product must be installed outside on a porch or in other outdoor conditions, make sure to check the following.

How to Keep the Product from Freezing

- After washing, remove water remaining inside the pump completely with the opening hose plug used for removal of residual water. When the water is removed completely, close the hose plug used for removal of residual water and cover cap.

- Hang down drain hose to pull out water inside the hose completely.

CAUTION

- When the drain hose is installed in a curved shape, the inner hose may freeze.

- After closing the tap, disconnect the cold inlet hose from the tap, and remove water while keeping the hose facing downwards.

Check for Freezing

- If water does not drain when opening the hose plug used for removal of residual water, check the drainage unit.

- Turn the power on, select Rinse and Spin, and press the Start/Pause button.

NOTE

- Check that water is coming into the detergent drawer while rinsing, and water is draining through the drain hose while spinning.

How to Handle Freezing

- Make sure to empty the drum, pour warm water of 50–60 °C up to the rubber part inside the drum, close the door, and wait for 1–2 hours.

CAUTION

- Do not use boiling water. It may cause burns or damage to the product.

- Open the cover cap and hose plug used for removal of residual water to extract water completely.

NOTE

- If when water does not drain, this means the ice is not melted completely. Wait more.

- When water is removed completely from the drum, close the hose plug used for removal of residual water, select Rinse and Spin, and press the Start/Pause button.

Detergent drawer

NOTE

- Check that water is coming into the detergent drawer while rinsing, and water is draining through the drain hose while spinning.

- When water supply problems occur, take the following measures.

- Turn off the tap, and thaw out the tap and both connection areas of inlet hose of the product using a hot water cloth.

- Take out inlet hose and immerse in warm water below 50–60 °C.
