P roduct Feature

40% n Jumbo drum

LG’s jumbo drum can wash about 40% more load than conventional washing machines. A bigger drum improves the wash performance.

n More economical by Intelligent Wash System

Intelligent Wash 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.

n Child-Lock

The Child-Lock system has been used to prevent children from pressing any button to change the program during operation.

n Low noise speed control system

By sensing the amount of load and balance, it evenly distributes load to minimize the spinning noise level.

n Auto Restart

If the washing machine is turned off by a power failure, it will restart automatically from the position it stopped at adjusting accordingly.

C are before washing n

Caring before washing

1. Care Labels

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.

2. Sorting

To get the best results, Sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle.

Water temperature and spin speed and different fabrics need to be washed in different ways.

Always sort dark colors from pale colors and whites. Wash separately as dye and lint transfer can occur causing discoloration of white etc. If possible, do not wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled one.

Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light)

Color (White, Lights, Darks)

Lint (Lint producers, Collectors)

Separate clothes according to amount of soil.

Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.

Wash lint producers and lint collectors separately.

3. Caring before loading n Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first. Large items should not be more than half the total wash load.

Do not wash single items. This may cause an out-of-balance load. Add one or two similar items.

• Check all the pockets to make sure that they are empty. Things such as nails, hair clip, matches, pens, coins and keys can damage both your washer and your clothes.

• Close zippers, hook and strings to make sure that these items don’t snag on other clothes.

• Pre treat dirt and stains by brushing a little detergent dissolved in water onto stains like collars and cuffs to help shift dirt.

37

A dding detergent n

Adding detergent and fabric softener

1. The Dispenser Drawer max

• Main wash only U

• Pre Wash + Main Wash U

2. Adding Fabric Softener

3. Detergent dosage

• The detergent should be used according to the instruction of the detergent manufacture.

• If too much detergent is used more than the recommended amount, too many suds can occur and this will decrease the washing result or cause heavy load to the motor. (Causing a malfunction)

• Use powder detergent only for the front loading washer.

• Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the load. For best results, avoid oversudsing.

( ) MAX

125 ml

MAX

125 ml

• Do not exceed the maximum fill line.

Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the fabric softener which could stain clothes.

• Do not leave the fabric softener in the detergent drawer for more than 2 days.

(Fabric softener could harden)

• Softener will automatically be added during last rinse cycle.

• Do not open the drawer when water is supplied.

• Solvents(benzene, etc) are not allowable.

NOTE

Do not pour fabric softener directly on the clothes

❋ Tips

Full load : according to manufacturer’s recommendation.

Part load : 3/4 of the normal amount.

Minimum load : 1/2 of full load.

• Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the beginning of the cycle.

M aintenance

❋ Before cleaning the washer interior, unplug the electrical power cord to avoid electrical shock to avoid electrical shock hazards.

n

The water inlet filter

- " " error message will blink on the control panel when water does not enter the detergent drawer.

- If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged.

It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time.

1.

Turn off the water tap.

2 . Unscrew the water inlet hose.

3.

Clean the filter using a hard bristle brush.

4 . Tighten up the inlet hose.

n

The drain pump filter

❋ The drain filter collects threads and small objects left in the laundry.

Check regularly that the filter is clean to ensure smooth running of your machine.

!

CAUTION First drain it using the drain hose and then open the pump filter to remove whatever may have stopped it up.

Be careful when draining if the water is hot.

1. Open the lower cover cap ( ) by using coin. Turn the drain plug ( ) to pull out the hose.

2. Unplug the drain plug ( ), allowing the water to flow out. At this time use a vessel to prevent water flowing on to the floor. If the water does not flow any more, turn the pump filter ( ) open to the left.

3. Take out any foreign material from the pump filter ( ). After cleaning, turn the pump filter ( ) clockwise and insert the drain plug ( )to the original place.

close the lower cover cap.

M aintenance n

Dispenser drawer

❋ After a while detergents and fabric softeners leave a deposit in the drawer.

• It should be cleaned from time to time with a jet of running water.

• If necessary it can be removed completely from the machine by pressing the catch downward and by pulling it out.

• To facilitate cleaning, the upper part of the fabric softener compartment can be removed.

max max n

The drawer recess

❋ Detergent can also accumulate inside the recess which should be cleaned occasionally with an old toothbrush.

• Once you have finished cleaning, replace the drawer and run a rinse cycle without laundry.

n

The washing drum

• If you live in a hard water area, limescale continuously builds up in places where it cannot be seen and it is not easily removed.

Over time the build up of scale clogs appliances, and if it is not kept in check these will eventually have to be replaced.

• Although the washing drum is made of Stainless steel, specks of rust can be caused by small metal articles (paper clips, safety pins) which have been left in the drum.

• The washing drum should be cleaned from time to time.

• If you use descaling agents, dyes or bleaches, make sure they are suitable for washing machine use.

❋ Descaler could contain components that can attack part of your washing machine.

❋ Remove the spots with a stainless steel cleaning agent.

❋ Never use steel wool.
