Different types of laundry washing FUZZY(Normal) Wash Use this Program for everyday washing e.g. sheets, towels, T-shirts. (refer to page 16) STRONG (JEANS) Wash Use this Program for heavily soiled durable garments e.g. overalls, jeans. Thick and heavy clothes or those which are excessively dirty like jeans or working uniforms can be washed. (refer to page 16) SMART RINSE (CLEANING) (Only for T8521PFRV, T8021PFRV & T7521PFRV) Use this program to get better rinsing performance. (refer to page 16) EXTRA RINSE (CLEANING) (Only for T8021PERV & T7521PERV) Use this program to get better rinsing performance. (refer to page 16) GENTLE (WOOL) Wash Wool clothes (lingerie, wool, etc.) which may be easily damaged can be washed. (refer to page 16) 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. FAVORITE Wash This setting allows you to store your FAVORITE wash conditions in the normal cycle memory. (refer to page 19) SILENT Wash Use this program to wash quietly at night.

(refer to page 24) 9 Before Starting to Wash P reparation BeforeWashing Care Labels * Look for acare label on your clothes This will tell you about the fabric content of your g arment and how it should be washed. Sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle, Water Temperature and spin speed. Sorting 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 Produ cers Lint Collectors Terry cloth, Chenille Towels, Nappies, Diapers Synthetics, Corduroy, P ermanent Press, Socks Check before Loading • Check all pockets to make sure that they are emtpy. 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. WIRE Pretreatment on stains or heavy soil • 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 page13) Loading 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 not 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. 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. Long laundry items Use nylon nets for long, DELICATE 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. Before Starting to Wash 10 U se of Water, Detergent, Bleach and Softener Using Water Amount of WATER LEVEL • 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 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. FULL HALF Water Temperature • You can change the Water Temperature by pressing the WATER TEMP. button. (refer to page 14) (Machine does not have internal heater, water temp. indicates the temp of inlet water feeded to machine) • 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. - MIX (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 MIX (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. 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. 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. 11 l Concentrated detergent: 20g per 30 liters of water. l Regular synthetic detergent: 30g per 30 liters of water. l When sensing water levels automatically, the amount of detergent can differ according to the amount of laundry even at the same water level. . detergent, use one that generates less For synthetic . bubbles.

There should be a thin layer of foam over the surface of the water. Lots of foam may look good, but it does not cotribute 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. If excess Detergent is used, the rinse will not be as clean and efficient. Also, it could cause environmental pollution, so use it accordingly. Adding the detergent Open the detergent dispenser and deposit the appropriate amount of detergent where you deposit the detergent Powder Detergent dispenser. 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 powdered detergent it is essential that the required amount be fully dissolved in very hot water before being added to mix or hot water for the actual wash. Pre-dissolving detergent in mix water when washing in cold water can improve its performance. Powder Detergent Box Where you deposit the detergent Using Liquid Bleach • Check clothing care label for special instructions and separate the laundry to be bleached • Dilute liquid chlorine bleach. • Measure the recommended amount of liquid bleach carefully following instructions on the bottle. • Before starting the washer, pour measured amount of bleach directly into bleach dispenser. Avoid splashing or overfilling. Powdered bleach should be mixed with water before pouring. Bleach dispenser NOTE n Never pour undiluted liquid bleach directly onto clothes or into the wash basket. This may cause change of color or damage the laundry. n Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach dispenser. Before Starting to Wash Water Level and Amount of Detergent Before Starting to Wash 12 U se of Water, Detergent, Bleach and Softener Using Fabric Softener • Dilute fabric softener with water. Undiluted fabric softener may result in spots that look like oil stains. Softener dispenser( ) • Measure and add the recommended amount of fabric softener into the compartment marked with this symbol ( ). Follow manufacturer’s direction. Fabric softener is automatically dispensed in the final rinse with indication beep. If you want extra rinse, you must add fabric softener manually when indication beep rings in the final rinse. This maximize the fabric softener function. • Do not overfill. The dispenser hold max 35ml. Never add more than 35ml. Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the fabric softener which could result in stained clothes. A cup with a pouring spout will help you avoid spilling. • The effect of adding fabric softener may vary according to its viscosity. The stickier fabric softener makes its effect the lower. For a sticky fabric softener it is recommended that it be diluted with water, then be manually correct time to dispense manually is optionally applied to some models. Please keep it in mind that fabric softener has to be diluted with water before dispensed and never poured directly on clothes. • • • • Attention Do not mix with detergent or bleach. Never pour fabric softener directly on clothes. It may stain them. Do not stop the washer during the first spin for timely dispensing. Option washing is not designed to be used with fabric softener dispenser. 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 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 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 page 22 or 32) • Cold water washing increases the chance of this build-up occurring. We recommend a regular MIX (WARM) or HOT wash e.g. every 5th wash should be at least a warm one. • Fabric softener of thinner consistency is less likely to leave residue on the dispenser and contribute to a build-up. 13 For successful stain removal: • Remove stains promptly. • Determine the kind of stain, then follow the recommended treatment in the stain removal chart below. • To pretreat stains, use a prewash product, liquid Detergent, or a paste made from granular Detergent and water. • Use COLD water on unknown stains because HOT water can set stains. • Check care label instructions for treatments to avoid on specific fabrics. Follow fabric care label • Check for colorfastness by testing stain remover on an inside seam. instructions • Rinse and wash items after stain removal.

Less than 3m Extension hose is used. Avoid submerging the end of hose. Installation How to connect the drain hose Care and Maintenance 30 G rounding Method Earth wire should be connected. If the earth wire is not connected, there is possible a danger of electric shock caused by the current leakage . Grounding Method with Ground insert space Terminal Ground terminal If the AC current outlet has a ground terminal, then separate grounding is not required. Grounding is not needed Concerning the Power Cord Most appliances recommend they be placed upon a dedicated circuit; that is, a single outlet circuit which powers only that appliance and has no additional outlets or branch circuits. Check the specification page of this owner's manual to be certain. Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these conditions could result in electric shock or fire. Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance, and have the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized servicer. Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits the appliance. Other Grounding Method Burying Copper Plate Connect the Ground Wire to a Ground Copper Plate and bury it more than 75cm in the ground. Ground Wire 75cm Ground Copper Plate Using Ground Wire Connect the ground Wire to the socket provided exclusively for Grounding. Ground Wire Using a Short Circuit Breaker If grounding methods described above are not possible, a separate circuit breaker should be employed and installed by a qualified electrician Short-circuit breaker 31 If you always use COLD water, we recommend that a MIX (WARM) or HOT wash be used at a regular intervals e.g. every 5th wash should be at least a MIX (WARM) one. To Clean the Magic Filter If the magic filter is damaged, purchase a new one from LG Authorised Service Center. Care and Maintenance 32 C leaning and Maintenance When there is a fear of freezing • Close the water taps and remove the Water Supply Hose. • Remove the water which remains in the water supply. • Lower the drain hose and drain the water in the bowl and the drain hose by spinning. If frozen • Remove the water supply hose, and immerse it in HOT water at approx.. 40 C. • Pour approx.. 2 liters of HOT water at approx.. 40 C, into the bowl and let it stand for 10 minutes. • Connect the water supply hose to the water tap and confirm that the washing machine performs the supply and drainage of water. Wash Inner-tub Leave the lid open after washing to allow moisture to evaporate. If you want to clean the inner-tub use a clean soft cloth dampened with liquid Detergent, then rinse. (Do not use harsh or gritty cleaners.) Inlet Hoses Exterior Hoses connecting washer to faucet should be replaced every 5 years. Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe with damp cloth. Try not to hit surface with sharp objects. Long Vacations Be sure water supply is shut off at faucets. Drain all water from hoses if weather will be below freezing. Cleaning the Inside of your Washer If you use fabric softener or do regular COLD water washing, it is very important that you occasionally clean the inside of your washer. • Fill your washer with HOT water. • Add about two cups of a powdered Detergent that contains phosphate. • Let it operate for several minutes. • Stop the washer, open the lid and leave it to soak overnight. • After soaking, drain the washer and run it through a normal cycle. Or use TUB CLEAN PROGRAM periodically. We do not recommend that you wash clothes during this procedure. Products that might damage your washing machine • Concentrated bleaches and diaper sanitizer will cause damage to the paintwork and components of your washer. • Hydrocarbon solvents i.e. petrol, paint thinners and lacquer thinners, etc. can dissolve plastic and blister paint (Be careful when washing garments stained with these solvents as they are flammable DO NOT put them in washer or dryer.) • Some pretreatment sprays or liquids can damage your washer’s control panel. • Use of dyes in your washer may cause staining of the plastic components. The dye will not damage the machine but we suggest you thoroughly clean your washer afterwards. We do not recommend the use of dye strippers in your washer. • Do not use your washer lid as a work surface. 33 Many washing problems involve poor soil & stain removal, residues of lint and scum, and fabric damage. For satisfactory washing results, follow these i nstructions. WASH PROBLEM Problems Poor soil removal Possible Causes Solutions & Preventive Measures • Not enough Detergent • Wash Water Temperature too low. • Overloading the washer • Incorrect wash cycle • Incorrect sorting • Do not pretreat stain • Use correct amount of Detergent for load size, amount of soil and water Hardness. • Use MIX (WARM) or HOT water for normal soil. Different Water Temperature may be required according to soil type. (refer to page 10) • Reduce load size. • Wash with STRONG (JEANS) or SOAK & STRONG (JEANS) wash cycle for heavy soiled laundry. • Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones. • Pretreat stain and heavy soil according to directions shown on page 9. Blue Stains • Undiluted fabric softener dispensed directly onto fabric • Rub the stain with bar soap. Wash. • Do not overfill fabric softener dispenser and do not pour liquid fabric softener directly onto fabric. See page 12 for more instructions. Black or gray marks on clothes • A buildup caused by the interaction of fabric softener and Detergent can flake off and mark clothes • Not enough Detergent • Keep the recommendations against Scrud(waxy buildup). (refer to scrud page12.) • Use correct amount of Detergent for load size, amount of soil and water Hardness. Yellow or brown rust stains • Iron or manganese in water supply, water pipes, or water heater • To restore discolored load of whites, use rust remover safe for fabric. • Install nonprecipitating water softener or an iron filter in your water supply system for an ongoing problem. • Before washing, run water for a few minutes to clear lines. Lint • Incorrect sorting • Tissues left in pocket • Overloading the washer • Wash lint givers eg towels, flannelette sheets, separately from lint collectors eg synthetic fabrics and remove tissues in pockets before wash. See page 9 for sorting and caring before loading. • Do not overload the washer Residue or Detergent • Overloading the washer • Undissolved Detergent • Use too much Detergent • Do not overload the washer. • Some Detergents need to be pre-dissolved, check the Detergent instructions. Try pre-dissolving the Detergent. • Increase Water Temperature using HOT water safe for fabric. • Use proper amount of Detergent. Holes, tears, or snags • Incorrect use of chlorine bleach. • Unfastened zippers, hooks, buckles • Ribs, tears and broken threads • Overloading the washer • Degradation of fabric • Never pour chlorine bleach directly on fabric. See page 11 for adding liquid bleach. • Fasten zippers, hooks, and buckles. • Remove objects in pockets. See page 9 for caring before loading. • Do not overload the washer.
