CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
Environmental and Economical Tips
Energy and water consumption
• Water consumption and energy usage can be affected by the weight
of the load. To make the best use of your appliance, load the
maximum amount of dry clothes for the particular programme.
• The most efficient programmes in terms of energy consumption are
generally those that perform at lower temperatures and longer
duration.
• Noise and remaining moisture content are influenced by the spinning
speed: the higher the spinning speed in the spinning phase, the
higher the noise and the lower the remaining moisture content.
• Evenly loading laundry up to the capacity indicated by the
manufacturer for the respective programmes will contribute to
energy and water savings.
• For washing smaller amounts of clothes, the automatic load
recognition system will help reduce the amount of water and energy
usage.
• Use the Speed programme for small, lightly soiled loads.
• Cold water laundry detergents can be as effective at lower
temperatures (about 20 ℃). Using 20 ℃settings will use less energy
than 30 ℃or higher temperatures.
Detergent
• Detergent should be chosen according to type, colour, soiling of the
fabric and the washing temperature. And it should be used according
to the instruction of the detergent manufacturer. Use only
detergents that are suitable for front loading washing machines.
• Use less detergent on smaller loads.
- Partial load: 1/2 of the normal amount.
- Minimum load: 1/3 of full load.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Selecting Extra Options and Functions
• Select the water temperature suitable for the type of load you are
washing. Follow the garment fabric care labels for best results.
• The Pre Wash option is recommended for washing a heavily soiled
load.
When Using a Dry Programme
• To save energy, choose the highest possible spin speed for the wash
programme when drying in a tumble dryer.
• For most drying, make sure all clothes are similar in material and
thickness.
• When you select drying only, spinning runs automatically for energy
efficiency.
Disposal of the Packaging Material
• The packaging materials are designed to protect the appliance from
unexpected damage during transportation.
• After installing the appliance, dispose of the packaging waste
according to recycling symbols of material types. Put the packaging
waste in relevant containers to recycle it.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ENGLISH
Disposal of Your Old Appliance
• This crossed-out wheeled bin symbol indicates that waste
electrical and electronic products (WEEE) should be
disposed of separately from the municipal waste stream.
• Old electrical products can contain hazardous substances
so correct disposal of your old appliance will help prevent
potential negative consequences for the environment and
human health. Your old appliance may contain reusable
parts that could be used to repair other products, and
other valuable materials that can be recycled to conserve
limited resources.
• You can take your appliance either to the shop where you
purchased the product, or contact your local government
waste office for details of your nearest authorised WEEE
collection point. For the most up to date information for
your country, please see www.lg.com/global/recycling.
