PROPER
INSTALLATION
• The base opening must not be obstructed by carpeting when the washing machine is installed on a
carpeted floor.
• Install or store where it will not be exposed to temperatures below freezing or exposed to the weather.
If the product is exposed to such conditions, electric shock, fire, break down or
deformation may occur.
• Properly ground washer to conform with all governing codes and ordinances. Follow details in
Installation Instructions.
If not grounded properly, break down and leakage of electricity may occur, which may
cause electric shock.
• Must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.
If the plug is placed between the wall and the machine, it may get damaged, possibly
causing fire or electric shock.
• Make sure the plug is completely pushed into the outlet.
Failure to do so may cause electric shock and fire due to overheating.
• Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been
used for two weeks or more. Hydrogen 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 faucets 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.

•
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.
Care Labels
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
Sorting
•
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.
Check before Loading
•
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)
Pretreatment on stains or heavy soil
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/PAUSE” button
and submerge additional items. Close the lid and press “START/PAUSE” 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.
Do not wash water-proof textilles (Suckling 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.

WARNING
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.

This machine detects the quantity of laundry automatically, then sets the proper amount of water.
Using Water
Amount of WATER LEVEL
• The machine sets the appropriate temperature automatically according to the wash program .
You can change the Water Temperature by pressing the WASH/RINSE 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) 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.
Water Temperature
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
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.
Detergent
We recommend the use of drum type, low suding, high efficiency 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.
Choosing the right Detergent
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.
Using the Liquid Bleach Dispenser
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.
11
Before Starting to Wash
The dispenser drawer contains three compartments:
• Liquid Fabric Softener
• 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
aundry 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.
Using the Dispenser Drawer
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.

• Do not connect ground to telephone wires or lightning rods. This may be dangerous during electrical storms.
• Connecting ground to plastic has no effect.
• Ground wires should be connected when an extension cord is used.
CAUTION 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 spercification 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
theseconditions 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 form physical or
machanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, colsed in a door, or walked upon. Pay particular
attention to plugs. wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits the appliance.
