More economical by Fuzzy Logic System
Fuzzy Logic System detects the amount of load and
water temperature, and then determines the optimum
water level and washing time to minimize energy and
water consumption.
Low noise speed control system
By sensing the amount of load and balance, evenly
distributes load to minimize the spinning noise level.
Child-Lock
The Child-Lock system has been developed to pre-
vent children from pressing any button to change the
programme during operation.
Auto Restart
Although the washing machine is turned off by a
power failure, it restarts automatically in its stopped
process when power is supplied again.
Jumbo Drum
LG's jumbo drum can wash about 40% more per load
than conventional washing machine. A bigger drum
improves the wash performance.
