2-4. FLOODING DRAINAGE
Do not install the washer where it is directly exposed to sunlight, wind, rain, etc.
Plug the power cord of this washer into a properly installed standard power outlet that is
grounded.
Your machine requires a floor drainage slope (or hole) that will SAFELY DISPOSE of the FULL
FLOW of any water that may leak out should the machine malfunction.It is therefore the
OWNER’S RESPONSIBILITY to make sure this machine is installed in an area with a drain hole
(or slope) that will prevent any possibility of water damage to floor coverings or property.
Permissible water temperature : Max 70 ˚C (160 ˚F)
Permissible water pressure : Max 116psi (800 kpa, 8 kg /cm2), Min 4 psi (30 kpa, 0.3 kg/cm2)
If water temperature and pressure are greater than above, it may cause damage to the machine. If
you have uncontrolled water temperature and pressure you should fit a temperature and
pressure relief valve to ensure that water temperature and water pressure remain within the safe
limits. Consult a plumber or electrician if you are unable to adjust water temperature and pres
sure.

3-2. BEFORE STARTING TO WASH
Care Labels
Sorting
Check before Loading
Loading
Pretreatment on stains or heavy soil
WARNING
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.
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, Chenille, Towels, Nappies
Lint Collectors Synthetics, Corduroy, Permanent Press, Socks
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.
Remove tissue in pockets.
Pretreat shirt collars and cuffs with a pre-wash product or liquid Detergent when placing them in the washer.
Before washing treat special stains with bar soaps, liquid Detergent or a paste of water and granular Detergent.
Use a pretreat soil and stain remover.
Treat stains AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. The longer they are left the harder they are to remove.
(For more detail refer to page 13)
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.
Light and Large-sized clothing
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.
Do not wash water-proof textilles (Skling outfit, baby's nappy automobile seat covers.)
Long laundry items
Use nylon nets for long, DELICATES 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.

Amount of WATER LEVEL
Water Temperature
Detergent
Choosing the right Detergent
This machine detects the quantity of laundry automatically, then sets the WATER LEVEL.
When you select a wash program, the WATER LEVEL 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.
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.
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.
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.
The machine sets the appropriate temperature automatically according to the wash program .
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, 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.

Using the Liquid Bleach Dispenser
Using the Dispenser Drawer
The bleach dispenser automatically dilutes and dispenses
liquid chlorine bleach at the proper time in the wash cycle.
1. Check clothing care labels for special instructions.
2. Measure liquid bleach carefully, following instructions on the
bottle.
Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto clothes
or into the wash basket.
Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach dispenser.
Avoid overfilling or splashing when adding bleach to the
dispenser. The maximum capacity of the bleach dispenser is
one cup of bleach per wash cycle. Overfilling could result in
early dispensing of bleach.
3. Before starting the washer, pour measured amount of bleach
directly into bleach dispenser. If you prefer to use powdered
bleach, add it into the wash basket directly before adding clothes.
WARNING!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
The manufacturer's recommended amount of undiluted bleach goes into the bleach dispenser. During the final "Infusor"
wash action the bleach is added to the wash load. This ensures performance won't be diminished. Two sequential flushe
through the bleach dispenser completely removes the bleach from the dispenser. Any residual liquid left in the dispenser at
the end of the cycle is water, not bleach. To prevent self-siphoning of the bleach into the wash basket and damage to your
clothes, never add more than the maximum fill level marked on the dispenser.Also keep clothes away from the bleach
dispenser so they don't absorb any bleach droplets left around the bleach dispenser.
The dispenser drawer contains three compartments:
Liquid Fabric Softener
Liquid or Powder Detergent
Liquid Wash Boost Additives
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.

14
Adding Detergent
Adding Fabric Softener
Adding Wash Boost Additives
Add measured detergent to the detergent compartment of the
dispenser drawer.
Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
Detergent is flushed through the dispenser at the beginning of
the wash phase. Either powdered or liquid detergent can be
used.
Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water
temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the load.
Avoid using too much detergent in your washer, as it can lead
to oversudsing and detergent residue being left on the clothes.
If desired, pour the recommended amount of liquid fabric
softener into the left-hand compartment. Use only liquid fabric
softener.
Dilute with water to the maximum fill line.
Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the fabric softener,
which could stain clothes.
NOTE: Do not pour fabric softener directly on the wash load. It
may stain the clothes.
The Wash Boost dispenser may be used to clean heavily soiled
or stained garments more efficiently.
If desired, place the additives for the wash Boost setting in the
right-hand compartment. Use only liquid additives.
Do not exceed the maximum fill line to avoid
Overfilling can cause early dispensing of presoak additives,
which could result in damaged clothes.
NOTE : Do not pour additives directly on the wash load. It may stain the clothes.

15
WARNING
