The fibers of machine washable woolens have been specifically modified to prevent felting when they are machine washed.
Most handknitted garments are not made of machine washable wool and we recommend that you hand wash them
• Before washing your woolens check the care label for the washing instructions.
• When washing woolens use a mild Detergent recommended for washing wool.
• Hand washed woolens may be spun in a washing machine to reduce the time they take to dry.
•To dry woolens lay down them flat on a towel and pat into shape. Dry woolens out of direct sunlight.
(The heat and tumble action of a dryer may cause shrinkage or felting of woolen garments.)
Some wool underlays and sheepskin products can be washed in a washing machine but may cause pump blockages.
(Ensure that the whole article is suitable for machine washing and not just the backing material.)
You may wish to handwash these articles and place them in the machine to spin dry.

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 bewashed 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 longlength , anet will prevent
tangling during washing.
Fasten zippers, hook, and stringsto make sure that these items don'tsnag onotherclothes.
Nylon net isnot 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 amountof 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 fabricscontaining flammable materials (waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.).

U
• The temperature of the water impacts the effectiveness of all laundry additives and therefore, the cleaning results.
We recommend temperatures of:
- HOT 49~60°C…(120-140˚F)White items, diapers, underclothing and heavily soiled, colorfast items.
- WARM 29~40°C…(85-105˚F)Most items
- COLD* 18~24°C…(65-75˚F)Only very bright colors with light soil.
• 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 manufactures 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.
Water Temperature
Using Water
• The machine sets the appropriate temperature automatically according to the wash program .
• 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.
• The following table shows the amount of water.
• 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.
Amount of WATER LEVEL
Using the Dispenser Drawer
NOTE
If iron is present in the water the clothes may become an all-over yellow or they may be stained with brown or orange
spots or streaks. Iron is not always visible. Installation of water softener or an iron filter may be necessary for severe cases.
NOTE
[ Minimum water amount ]
It depends on laundry load and washer model. Or manually you can pour a certain amount water into tub
directly to some height. That’s because if water level reaches to the some height sensed by washer itself, washer
automatically operates. In other words, it is needed to pour water to the point when washer starts operating.
The dispenser drawer contains 2 compartments:
• Liquid Fabric Softener
• Liquid or Powder Low-Sudsing, High-Efficiency Detergent
The dispenser automatically dispenses additives at the proper time in the wash cycle.
1. Slowly open the dispenser drawer by pulling the drawer out until it stops.
2. After adding laundry products, slowly close the dispenser drawer. Closing the
drawer too quickly could result in early dispensing of additives.
• Avoid overfilling or splashing when adding laundry products to the dispenser. Doing
so could result in early dispensing of laundry products.
At the end of the cycle, you may see water in the compartments. This is part of the
normal operation of the washer.
NOTE: Do not use bleach in the dispenser drawer.

Using Detergent
How much Detergent
The correct amount of Detergent will vary depending on the amount of soil in your clothes(Jeansand work
clochesmay need more Detergent, while bath towelsusually need less.).
For liquid and concentrated Detergents, followthe recommendationsof the Detergent manufacturer.
Note: To checkyouare using the correct amount of Detergent, lift the lidof your machine about half-
way through the wash. There should be a thin layer of foam over the surface of the water. Lotsof
foam may lookgood, but it does not contribute to cleaning your clothes. No foam means not enough
Detergent has been used; soil and lint can settle backonthe clothes or the washing machine.
If excess Detergent is used, the rinse will not be ascleanand efficient. Also, it could cause
environmental pollution, so use it accordingly.
Add measured detergent tothe detergent compartment of the dispenser drawer.
Detergent is flushed throughthe dispenser at the beginning of the wash phase.
Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for watertemperature, water hardness,size and soil level of the load.
Avoid using too much detergent in your washer, asit can leadto oversudsingand detergent residue beingleft on
the clothes.
Adding Detergent
Using Detergent
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.
Choosing the right Detergent
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
Detergent suitable for washing woolens.
Attention
Using liquid detergent without diluting, or leaving laundryfor a long time after pouring
diluted liquid detergent intothe tub might cause damage, bleachingor discoloration of cloth.
Note :Using Liquid detergent
- Dilute Liquid detergent with water and pour into the tub, start the cycle.
- Delaywash course is not availableif you use liquid detergent.

Using Fabric Softener
If you wish to use fabric softener we recommend
Attention
Do not mix with Detergent or bleach.
Never pour fabric softener directly on clothes. It may stainthem.
Do notstop the washer during the firstspin for timely dispensing.
Option washing is notdesigned to beused with fabric softener dispenser.
If desired, pour the recommended amount of liquid
fabric softener into the right-hand compartment.
Useonly liquid fabric softener.
Dilute with water to the maximum fill line.
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
Overfilling cancause early dispensing of the fabric
softener, which could stain clothes.
NOTE : Do notpour fabric softener directly on the
wash load. It may stain the clothes.
Scrud(Waxy Build up)
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 themachine it can result in stains on your clothes oran unpleasant
smell in yourwasher.
• Using fabric softener sparingly.
•When filling the dispenser, do not splash or overfill.
•Clean dispenser as soon as the cycle is finished.
•Clean your machine regularly. (refer to page21 or 32)
• Cold water washing increases the chance of this build-up occurring. We recommend aregular WARM or
HOTwash e.g. every 5th wash should be at least a warm one.
• Fabric softener of thinner consistency is less likely to leave residueon the dispenser and contribute to a
build-up.
• Check clothing care label for special instructions and separate the
laundry to be bleached
•Dilute liquid chlorine bleach.
• Measure the recommended amountof liquid bleach carefully
following instructions on the bottle.
• Beforestarting the washer, pour measured amountof bleach directly
into bleach dispenser. Avoid splashing or overfilling. Powdered
bleach should be mixed with water before pouring.
Using Liquid Bleach
