NOTE
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 discolouration of white etc. If possible, do not
wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled one.
••Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light)
Separate clothes according to amount of soil.
••Color (White, Lights, Darks)
Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.
••Lint (Lint producers, Collectors)
Wash lint producers and lint collectors separately.
3. Caring before loading
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 pockets to make sure that they are empty.
Items such as nails, hair clip, matches, pens, coins and
keys can damage both your washer and your clothes.
••Close zippers, hooks 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 lift dirt.
••Check the folds of the flexible gasket (gray) and remove
any small articles.
••Check inside of the drum and remove any item from
a previous wash.
••Remove any clothing or items from the flexible gasket
to prevent clothing and gasket damage.
••Before the first wash, select a cycle (Cotton 60°C, add a half load of detergent) allow the unit to wash without
clothing. This will remove residues and water from the drum that may have been left during manufacturing.

Troubleshooting guide
NOTE
••Smart Diagnosis™ function is available only for the products with a Smart Diagnosis™ mark. In case
of a mobile phone with static option, the Smart Diagnosis™ function might not operate.
■■Using Smart Diagnosis™
••Only use this feature when instructed to do so by the call center. The transmission sounds similar to
a fax machine, and so has no meaning except to the call center.
••Smart Diagnosis™ cannot be activated if the washer does not power up. If this happens, then
troubleshooting must be done without Smart Diagnosis™.
If you experience problems with your washer, call to Customer Information Center.
Follow the call center agent's instructions, and do the following steps when requested:
1. Press the Power button to turn on the washer. Do not press
any other buttons or turn the cycle selector knob.
2. When instructed to do so by the call center, place the mouthpiece
of your phone very close to the Power button.
Max 10 mm
3. Press and hold the "Temp.” button for three seconds, while holding the phone mouthpiece to the
icon or Power button.
4. Keep the phone in place until the tone transmission has finished.
This takes about 6 seconds, and the display will count down the time.
••For best results, do not move the phone while the tones are being transmitted.
••If the call center agent is not able to get an accurate recording of the data, you may be asked to try again.
••Pressing the Power button during the transmission will shut off the Smart Diagnosis™.
5. Once the countdown is over and the tones have stopped, resume your conversation with the call
center agent, who will then be able to assist you using the information transmitted for analysis at
the call to Customer information center.
••Smart Diagnosis is a troubleshooting feature designed to assist, not replace, the traditional method
of troubleshooting through service calls. The effectiveness of this feature depends upon various
factors, including, but not limited to, the reception of the cellular phone being used for transmission,
any external noise that may be present during the transmission, and the acoustics of the room where
the machine is located. Accordingly, LG does not guarantee that Smart Diagnosis would accurately
troubleshoot any given issue.
