properly. Just a little preventive care on your part can save you a great deal of time and

money over the life of your washer. You will find many answers to common problems

in the Troubleshooting section. If you review our chart of Troubleshooting first, you may

not need to call for service at all.

Important Safety Information

mportant Safety Information

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.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

WARNING!

• 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 lid to prevent children

from hiding inside.

• Do not reach into the washer if the basket or

agitator is moving.

• 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.

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.

Do not use an adapter or otherwise defeat the grounding plug.

If you don’t have the proper outlet, consult an electrician.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING :

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the

washer, follow basic precautions, including the following:

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

ow To Remove Stains

How To Remove Stains

Pretreating dirt and stains

Brush a little washing detergent dissolved in water onto stains, collars, and cuffs to help shift dirt.

The secret of stain treatment is immediate action. When an accident happens, plunge the stained area

into cold water, or sponge it down. This prevents the stain from setting. Wash as soon as possible

afterwards.

• Treat stains AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. The longer they are left, the harder they are to remove.

• Always consider the type of fabric you are treating to make sure you do not use a water

temperature that is too hot or a treatment that will alter the color of the fabric.

It pays to pre-wash products and solvents on an inconspicuous part of the garment first.

• Place the garment being treated on an absorbent cloth (e.g. on an old towel). Work from the reverse

side of the stain, as this can force the stain off the fabric instead of through it.

• Use cold or warm water on unknown stains as hot water can set some stains.

• Some stains are not easily seen when the fabric is wet. Do air dry the stained garment to be sure the

stain has been removed, as heat from a dryer may set the stain.

• Take care with stain removal treatments as they are often flammable and highly poisonous. Do not

use them in your washer as they may damage the paint or plastic components.

• Some pretreatment sprays or liquids can damage your washer's control panel.

Diaper Sanitizers

• Diaper sanitizers are very corrosive to metal surfaces. DO NOT soak diapers in sanitizers in your

washer or tip the contents of the diaper bucket into your machine. Rinse and wring diapers out

thoroughly before placing them in your machine.

Diapers

• Scrape off any excess baby cream, such as Vaseline from the diapers before washing and handwash

to prevent the cream being transferred to other items in the wash.

Before Starting to Wash

reparation Before Washing

• Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty. Things such as nails, hairclips, matches,

pens, coins, and keys can damage both your washer and your clothes.

• Mend any torn garments or loose buttons. Tears or holes may become larger during washing.

• Remove belts, underwires, etc. to prevent damage to the machine or your clothes.

• Pretreat any dirt and stains.

• Make sure the clothes are washable in water.

• Check the washing instructions on care label (Refer to p. 26.)

To get the best results, different fabrics need to be washed in different ways.

• SOIL (Heavy, Normal, Light) Separate clothes according to the type and amount of soil.

• COLOR (Whites, Lights, Darks) Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.

• LINT (Lint producers, Collectors) Separate lint producers and lint collectors.

Lint Producers Terry cloth, Chenile, Towels, Nappies, Diapers

Lint Collectors Synthetics, Corduroy, Permanent Press, Socks

WIRE

Sorting

Check before Loading

* 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. (Refer to p. 26.)

Sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle, water temperature and spin speed.

Care Labels

Use nylon nets for long, delicate items.

For laundry with long strings

or long length , a net will prevent

tangling during washing.

Fasten zippers, hook, and strings to make sure

that these items don't snag on other clothes.

Nylon net is not supplied by LG.

Clothes like downs and woollens are light weight,

large and float easily. Use a nylon net and wash

them in a small amount of water.

If the laundry floats during the

wash cycle, it may become damaged.

Use dissolved detergent to prevent the

detergent from clumping.

Light and Large-sized clothing

Long laundry items

Do not wash fabrics containing flammable materials (waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.).

Load Size

The water level should just cover the clothes. Adjust the load size accordingly. Loosely load clothes no higher than the

top row of holes in the washer tub. To add items after washer has started, press Start button and submerge additional

items. Close the lid and press Start button again to restart.

Fire Hazard

Never place items in the washer that are

dampened with gasoline or other flammable fluids.

No washer can completely remove oil.

Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of

oil on it (including cooking oils).

Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

WARNING

itle

Water Temperature

• You can change the water temperature by pressing the WATER TEMP. button.

The temperature of the water impacts the effectiveness of all laundry additives and, therefore, which

results in wash performance. We recommend the water temperature as follows :

• Temperature below 65˚F (18˚C) will not activate laundry additives and may cause lint, residue, poor

cleaning, etc. In addition, detergent manufactures and care labels define cold water as 80~85˚F

(26.5~29.5˚C).

If the temperature of the water in the tub is cold to your hands, the detergent will not be

activated and clean effectively.

• This machine detects the quantity of laundry automatically,

then sets the water level and proper amount of detergent.

• When you select a wash program, the water level and

amount of detergent (to be used) will be shown on the

control panel.

• When the water level is automatically detected, it may

differ depending on the quantity of laundry even though

the same water level is indicated on the control panel.

Water Level

(refer to p10)

• If you do not specify the water level ‘Large’ will be automatically selected.

Note

; White items, diapers, underclothes, and heavily soiled, colorfast items.

; Most items

; Lightly soiled items

Before Starting to Wash

* When washing in cold water, additional steps may be needed:

- Adjust detergent amount and pre-dissolve detergent in warm water

- Pretreat spots and stains

- Soak heavily soiled items

- Use appropriate bleach

se of Detergent

Amount of Detergent

• Follow the detergent package directions.

• Using too little detergent is a common cause of laundry problems.

• Use more detergent if you have hard water, large loads, greasy or oily soils, or lower water

temperature.

• The correct amount of detergent will vary depending on the amount of soil in your clothes.

(Jeans and work clothes may be needed more detergent while bath towels are less.)

• For liquid and concentrated detergent, follow the recommendations of the detergent manufacturer.

To see if you are using the correct amount of detergent, lift the lid of your machine about half-way

through the wash. There should be a thin layer of foam over the surface of the water. Lots of foam

may look good, but it does not contribute to cleaning your clothes. No foam means not enough

detergent has been used; soil and lint can settle back on the clothes or the washing machine.

• We recommend powdered detergent, or liquid detergent diluted with water.

(manufacturer’s recommanded ratio)

• Soap or granulated soap powders should not be used in your washing machine to prevent build-up.

• When washing woolens, remember to use a detergent suitable for washing woolens.

If excessive detergent is used, the rinse will not be as clean and efficient.

Also, it could cause environmental pollution, so use detergent accordingly.

Attention

Choosing the Right Detergent

Where you

deposit the

detergent

Powder Detergent Box.

• Open the detergent box and deposit the

appropriate amount of detergent .

Adding the Detergent

• Some detergents MUST be fully dissolved before adding to your machine to get the best wash

results. Check the instructions on the detergent packet.

If you use powdered detergent, it is essential that the required amount be fully dissolved in very hot

water before being added to warm or hot water for the actual wash.

Pre-dissolving detergent in warm water when washing in cold water can improve its performance.

Note

( )

Before Starting to Wash

se of Softener and Bleach

Available Fabric Softener Type

• Do not use concentrated fabric softener. This may cause some problems in automatic dispensing.

• For more details refer to the softener product instructions for use.

Depositing Fabric Softener

• Don't use softener with detergent. Softener is dispensed into the last rinse water.

• When using concentrated softener, dilute 1 oz. (30ml) of softener with 1 oz. (30ml) of fresh water.

• When filling dispenser, do not splash or overfill. It may stain clothes.

• Never pour fabric softener directly on clothes. It may stain them.

• If spotting occurs, wet and rub dishwashing liquid (or mild bar soap) and rewash.

• Add 60ml (2 oz.) of fabric softener in the dispenser when starting the washer.

It will be dispensed into the final rinse at the proper time. See the attention,

below, for using concentrated fabric softener in the dispenser.

Depositing Bleach

Bleach dispenser

• Separate the laundry to be bleached.

• Measure liquid bleach carefully, following instructions on the bottle.

• Before starting the washer, pour measured amount of bleach directly

into bleach dispenser.

• Avoid splashing or over-filling dispenser. If you prefer to use

powdered bleach, add it into the wash basket with your detergent.

• The dispenser dilutes liquid bleach before it reaches into your wash

load.

Using Bleach

Using Softener

Check fabric care labels for special instructions.

Attention

• Never pour undiluted liquid bleach directly onto clothes or into the wash basket.

This may affect decolorization or damage of laundry.

• Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar and/or rust remover.

Mixing can produce a toxic gas which may cause death.

• Do not pour powered bleach into bleach dispenser.

• Powdered bleach should be dissolved with water and then be deposited into the tub.

• For more details refer to the product instructions for use.

When you have finished washing

Wash Inner-Tub Leave the lid open after washing to allow moisture to evaporate.

If you want to clean the inner-tub use a clean soft cloth dampened with liquid

detergent, then rinse. (Do not use harsh or gritty cleaners.)

Inlet Hoses Hoses connecting washer to faucet should be replaced every 5 years.

Exterior Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe with damp cloth. Try not to hit surface with

sharp objects.

Long Vacations Be sure water supply is shut off at faucets. Drain all water from hoses if weather will

be below freezing.

These might damage your washing machine

• Concentrated bleaches and diaper sanitizer will cause damage to the paintwork and components of your washer.

• Hydrocarbon solvents i.e. gasoline, paint thinners and lacquer thinners, etc. can dissolve plastic and blister paint .

(Be careful when washing garments stained with these solvents as they are flammable DO NOT put them in

washer or dryer.)

• Some pretreatment sprays or liquids can damage your washer's control panel.

• Use of dyes in your washer may cause staining of the plastic components. The dye will not damage the machine

but we suggest you thoroughly clean your washer afterwards. We do not recommend the use of dye strippers in

your washer.

• Do not use your washer lid as a work surface.

• Clean your machine regularly.

• Cold water washing increases the chance of this build-up occuring. We recommend a warm or hot wash

at regular intervals e.g. approx. every 5th wash.

• Fabric softener of thinner consistency is less likely to leave residue on the dispenser and contribute

to build-up.

Scum is the name given to the waxy build-up that can occur within any washer when the fabric softener

comes into contact with detergent.

This build-up is not brought about by fault from the machine. If scum is allowed in the machine, it can

result in stains on your clothes or an unpleasant smell in your washer.

If you use fabric softener or do regular cold water washing, it is important that you occasionally clean

the inside of your machine.

• Fill your machine with hot water. Add chlorine bleach or equivalent for cleaner.

Measure the amount of cleaner carefully by instructions on the bottle.

• Select Wash cycle and operate. Repeat it 2 or 3 times.

• Stop the machine, open the lid, and leave it to soak overnight.

• After soaking, drain the machine and run the machine through a regular cycle.

We do not recommend that you wash clothes during this procedure.

If you wish to use fabric softener, we recommend
