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.
Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two
weeks or more. Hydrogen gas can be explosive under these circumstances.
If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning on
all hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical appliance
which is connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape.
Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this process.
■ Install or store where it will not be exposed to
temperatures below freezing or exposed to the weather.
■ Properly ground washer to conform with all governing
codes and ordinances.
■ The base opening must not be obstructed by carpeting when
the washing machine is installed on a carpeted floor.
■ The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is
accessible.

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.
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 any zippers or hooks on items before washing.
Nylon net is not supplied by LG.
Clothes including downs and woollens are light weight, large and
float easily.So 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.

WATER TEMPERATURE
• You can change the water temperature by pressing the WATER TEMP button. (Option depending on model).
The temperature of the water impacts the effectiveness of all laundry additives and therefore, the cleaning
results. We recommend temperatures of:
❋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
• Temperature below 18˚C (65˚F) will not activate laundry additives and may cause lint, residue, poor
cleaning, etc. In addition, detergent manufacturers and care labels define cold water as 26~29˚C(80~85˚F).
• If the temperature of the water in the tub is too cold for your hands, the detergent will not activate
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
• When a Wash, Wash/Rinse or Rinse only option is selected, after the wash is completed the water will
not be drained off.
• If you wish to drain the water, press the SPIN button and wait until the water in the tub has drained
completely. Then press the START/PAUSE button .
• If you do not specify the water level, then Medium will be automatically selected.
• If Rinse only is selected, the process will start from Water Supply.
• The washing machine may occasionally add water while pulsator is rotating. This is to maintain the water
level due to the release of air trapped in the garments.
Note
White items, diapers, underclothing and heavily soiled, colorfast items.
Only very bright colors with light soil.
Most items.

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 products instructions for use.
DEPOSITING FABRIC SOFTENER
Fabric Softener will be dispensed automatically during the final rinse.
Note
• Don't use softener with detergent. Use softener in last rinse water
• When using dispenser, dilute softener(30ml) with
fresh water(30ml)
• 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 hand rub dishwashing liquid (or mild
bar soap) and rewash.
DEPOSITING BLEACH
• Separate the laundry to be bleached.
• Measure powdered bleach carefully, following instructions on the box.
• Before starting the washer, pour measured amount of bleach directly into bleach dispenser.
AVAILABLE BLEACH TYPE
Using Bleach
Using Softener
Use oxygenated bleach.
Do not use liquid bleach.
For more details refer to the products instruction for use.
Check fabric care labels for special instructions.
Attention
■ Never pour undiluted liquid bleach directly onto clothes or into the wash basket.
This may affect colors or damage clothing.
■ 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 liquid bleach into bleach dispenser.
Where you

Powder Detergent / Powder Bleach dispenser.
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 need more detergent, while bath towels usually need less).
For liquid and concentrated detergents, follow the recommendations of the detergent manufacturer.
To check 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 the use of domestic detergent, (powder, liquid or concentrated). Soap flakes
or granulated soap powders should not be used in your washing machine. 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 it accordingly.
Attention
CHOOSING THE RIGHT DETERGENT
• 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 powder 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.

Grounding Instructions
Other Grounding Instructions
If the AC current outlet has a ground terminal, then
separate grounding is not required. Note that AC power
outlet configurations may differ from country to country
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 ordinance.
Connect the ground Wire to the socket provided
exclusively for Grounding.
If grounding methods described above are not
possible, a separate circuit breaker should be
employed and installed by a qualified electrician

Using Ground Wire
Using Short Circuit Breaker
Connect the Ground Wire to a Ground Copper
Plate and bury it more than 75cm in the ground.
Burying Copper Plate
• To prevent a possible explosion, do not connect ground to a gas pipe
• Do not connect ground to telephone wires or lightning rods. This may be dangerous during electrical storms
• Connecting ground to plastic has no effect
• Ground wires should be connected when an extension cord is used.
Caution
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 wether 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.

SCRUD
Scrud 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 a fault in the machine.
If scrud is allowed to build-up in the machine it can result in stains on your clothes or an
unpleasant smell in your washer.
If you wish to use fabric softener we recommend.
• Using fabric the dispenser, do not splash or overfill.
• Clean dispenser as soon as the cycle has finished.
• Clean your machine regularly
• Cold water washing increases the chance of this build-up occurring. 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 a build-up
CLEANING THE INSIDE OF YOUR WASHER
• Fill your machine with hot water. Add about two cups of a powder detergent that contains phosphate.
• Let it rotate for several minutes.
• Stop the machine, drain the machine and run the machine through a regular cycle.
We do not recommend that you wash clothes during this procedure.

• When filling dispenser, do not splash or overfill.
• Never pour fabric softener directly on clothes.
• Pre-treat stain and rewash.
• Sort whites or lightly colored items from dark colors.
- Wash and dry non-colorfast clothes separately
• Using insufficient detergent for the amount of soil
on the clothes, can result in black marks on clothes
• Cleaning the inside of your washing machine
Fasten snaps, hooks, buttons, and zippers.
Remove any loose brassiere wires.
Remove objects in pockets and sharp buttons.
Turn knits (which snag easily) inside out.
Dilute bleach or use the dispenser (See User's
Guise)

WASH PROBLEM
Possible CausesProblem What To Do
• Use warmer water temperature
• Select the wash temperature according to soil type.
• For example, blood and mud are better washed in
cold water, while oily soils wash better in warmer
water.
• Brush a little detergent dissolved in water onto stains
like collars and cuffs to help shift dirt.
• Wash stains as soon as possible. The longer they are
left the harder they are to remove.
• Wash smaller loods at a time.
• White clothes are better washed separately. Separate
light and heavily soiled items, as clothes can pick up
soil from dirty wash water.
• Loads made up of articles of varying sizes will wash
better (e.g. full loads of sheets may not wash that
well).
• Not enough detergent for load size or amount of soil.
Hard water requires more detergent than soft water.
