• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agents or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. • Always unplug the machine and turn off the water supply after use.
• Connect the machine to an earthed socket in accordance with current wiring regulations. The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is easily accessible.

Installation

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 an 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. If the appliance is supplied from a cord extension set or an electrical portable outlet device, the cord extension set or electrical portable outlet device must be positioned so that it is not subject to splashing or ingress of moisture.

CAUTION

• The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Installation

■ Connecting water supply hose

• Water supply pressure must be between 100 kPa and 1000 kPa (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 1000 kPa, a decompression device should be installed. Periodically check the condition of the hose and replace the hose if necessary.

Step 1: Check 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.

Step 2: Connect hose to water tap. Type-A: Connecting screw-type hose to tap with thread

Screw the hose connector onto water supply tap.

Type-B: Connecting screw-type hose to tap without thread

1. Unscrew the adapter ring plate and the 4 adapter retaining screws.
2. 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 4 screws.

Installation

Type-C: Connecting one touch type hose to tap without thread

1. Unscrew the adapter ring plate and the 4 adapter retaining 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 4 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, or sawdust) from the water lines. Let the water drain into a bucket, and check the water temperature.

▶ Step 3: Connect the hose to the washer

• Make sure that there are no kinks in the hose and that they are not crushed. ▶ When your washer has two valves: • The inlet hose with the red connector is for the hot water tap. - If the washer has two valves, energy is saved by using the hot valve.

NOTE

- After completing the connection, if water leaks from the hose, replace the seal.

Installation

■ Installation of the drain hose

• The drain hose should not be placed higher than 100 cm above the floor. Otherwise, water in the washer will not drain or will 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 washer. 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.

Installation

■ Leveling

1. Leveling the washing machine 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 and unbalance.

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

Installation

▶ Concrete floors

• The installation surface must be clean, dry and level. • Install washer on a flat hard floor.

▶ Tile floors (Slippery floors)

• Position each foot on the Tread Mate and level the machine to suit. (Cut Tread Mate into 70x70 mm sections and stick the pieces on to the dry tile where machine is to be placed.)
• Tread Mate is a self adhesive material used on ladders & steps that prevents slipping.

▶ Wooden floors (Suspended floors)

• Wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration.
• To prevent vibration we recommend you place rubber cups under each foot under washer at least 15mm thick, 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. • Fit the rubber cups to reduce vibration.
• You can obtain the rubber cups (p/no.4620ER4002B) from the LG spares dept.

NOTE

• Proper placement and leveling of the washer will ensure long, regular and reliable operation.
• The washer must be 100% 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.

How to use washer

How to use washer

■ Care 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

discolouration of while etc. If possible, do not wash heavily

soiled items with lightly soiled one.

• 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. 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 lift dirt.

- Check the folds of the flexible gasket (gray) and remove any

small articles.

- Check inside of the drum and remove any item from a previous

Adding detergent

■ Adding detergent and fabric softener

▶ The dispenser drawer

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

WARNING

• Keep all washing detergents away from children as there is danger of poisoning.
• 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 could stain clothes. Close the dispenser drawer slowly.
• 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.) should not be used.

Adding detergent

▶ Detergent dosage

• Detergent should be used according to the instructions 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 decrease the washing result or cause heavy load to the motor.
• It is recommended that you use powdered detergent for best results.
• If you wish to use liquid detergent, follow guidelines provided by the detergent manufacturer.
• You can pour liquid detergent directly into the main detergent drawer if you are starting the cycle immediately.
• Please do not use liquid detergent if you are using 'Time Delay' as the liquid may harden, or if you have selected 'Pre Wash'.
• If too many suds occur, please 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. • To use the washing machine, put the designated detergent only.

- General powdered detergents for all types of fabric (Cold - 95°C)

- Powdered detergents for delicate fabric (Cold - 40°C)

- Liquid detergents for all types of fabric (Cold - 95°C) or designated detergents only for wool (Cold - 40°C)

- For better washing performance and whitening, use the detergent with the General powdered bleach.

WARNING

- Do not let the detergent harden.

Doing so may lead to blockages, poor rinse performance or bad odor.

NOTE

• 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.

▶ 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. - Use the quantity of detergent as for soft water.

Maintenance

• Before cleaning the washer interior, unplug the electrical power cord to avoid electrical shock hazards.
• Turn off the stopcock if the 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.

■ The water inlet filter

• The "I E" icon will be displayed on the control panel when water does not enter the detergent drawer.
• If water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged. It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time.

1. Turn off the water tap.
2. Unscrew the water inlet hose.
3. Clean the filter using a hard bristle brush.

4. Tighten up the inlet hose.

Maintenance

■ 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 machine.

CAUTION

- First drain using the drain hose and then open the pump filter to remove any threads or objects. Be careful when draining if the water is hot.

- 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 lower cover cap. Pull out the hose.
2. Unplug the drain plug. Open the filter by turning to the left.
3. Remove any extraneous matter from the pump filter.
4. After cleaning, turn the pump filter and insert the drain plug.

Maintenance

■ Dispenser drawer

• After a while, detergents and fabric softeners leave a deposit in the drawer. It should be cleaned from time to time with a jet of running water. If necessary, it can be removed completely from the machine by pressing the catch downwards and pulling it out. To facilitate cleaning, the upper part of the fabric softener compartment can be removed.

1. Pull out the dispenser drawer.

1. Clean the dispenser drawer under water.

1. Clean inside the recess with an old toothbrush.

1. Insert the dispenser drawer.

Maintenance

The washing drum

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

Cleaning your washer

Exterior

• Proper care of your washer can extend its life.
• The outside of the machine can be cleaned with warm water and a neutral non-abrasive household detergent.
• Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe with a damp cloth.
• Try not to hit the surface with sharp objects.
• Do not use methylated spirits, diluents or similar products.

Interior

• Dry around the washer door opening, flexible gasket and door glass.
• Run washer through a complete cycle using hot water.
• Repeat process if necessary.

NOTE

• To remove hard water deposits, use only cleaners labelled washer safe.
