operation unit.
•• Keep the area underneath and around the appliance free of
combustible materials such as lint, paper, rags, chemicals, etc.
•• Do not put animals, such as pets into the appliance.
•• Do not leave the appliance door open. Children may hang on the
door or crawl inside the appliance, causing damage or injury.
•• Use new hose or hose-set supplied with the appliance. Reusing old
hoses can cause a water leak and subsequent property damage.
•• Turn off water taps to relieve pressure on hoses and valves and
to minimize leakage if a break or rupture should occur. Check the
condition of the fill hoses; they may need replacement after 5 years.
•• Never reach into the appliance while it is operating. Wait until the
drum has completely stopped.
•• Do not put in, wash or dry articles that have been cleaned in, washed
in, soaked in, or spotted with combustible or explosive substances
(such as waxes, wax removers, oil, paint, gasoline, degreasers,
drycleaning solvents, kerosene, petrol, spot removers, turpentine,
vegetable oil, cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, etc.). Improper use can
cause fire or explosion.
•• In case of flood, disconnect the power plug and contact the LG

gas can be explosive under these circumstances. If the HOT water
has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility
of damage or injury by turning on all Hot water taps and allowing
them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical
appliance which is connected to the HOT water system. This simple
procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the
gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or appliance
during this process.

Sorting laundry.
•• To get the best results, sort clothes into
loads that can be washed with the same
wash cycle.
•• Different fabrics need to be washed at
varying temperatures and spin speeds.
•• Always sort dark colours from pale colours
and whites. Wash separately as dye and lint
transfer can occur causing discolouration of
white and pale garments. If possible, do not
wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled
ones.
−− Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light) :
Separate clothes according to amount of
soil.
−− Colour (White, Lights, Darks):
Separate white fabrics from coloured
fabrics.
−− Lint (Lint producers, Collectors):
Wash lint producers and lint collectors
separately.
•• 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 small
amount of detergent dissolved water onto
stains to help lift dirt.
CAUTION
•• Do not wash or spin any item labeled or known
to be water-proof or water-resistant, even if the
product care label on the item permits machine
washing. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in severe damage to your laundry,
your washing machine and/or property damage
as a result of abnormal vibration of the washing
machine.
−− Examples of water-proof or water-resistant
items include certain mattress pads, mattress
covers, rain gear, camping gear, skiing
apparel, outdoor gear and similar items.

•• Do not let the detergent harden. Doing so may
lead to blockages, poor rinse performance or
odour.
•• Full load : According to manufacturer’s
recommendation.
•• Part load : 3/4 of the normal amount
•• Minimum load : 1/2 of full load
Adding 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.
•• 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.
NOTE
•• Too much detergent, bleach or softener may

the drum, start the cycle.
•• Using liquid detergent without diluting, or
leaving laundry for a long time after pouring
diluted liquid detergent into the drum might
cause damage, bleaching or discoloration of
cloth.
19
EN
Adding Fabric Softener
Adding Liquid Bleach
•• Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling
can cause early dispensing of the fabric
softener, which may stain clothes. Close the
dispenser drawer slowly.
