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
CAUTION
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.
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 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 button and
submerge additional items. Close the lid and press Start button again to restart.
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 washer and/or property damage as a result of abnormal vibration of the washer.
- 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.
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 page13)
Pretreatment on stains or heavy soil
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.
WARNING

se of Water, Dispenser Drawer, Detergent, Bleach and Softener
U
• The temperature of the water impacts the effectiveness of all laundry additives and therefore, the cleaning results.
We recommend temperatures of:
- HOT 49~55°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) 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 WARM water And add to the machine by hand.
- 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
Using Water
• The machine sets the appropriate temperature automatically according to the wash program .
• You can change the Water Temperature by pressing the WATER TEMP. button. (refer to page 14)
• 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 and amount of
Detergent (to be used) will be shown on the control panel.
• The following table shows the amount of water.
(refer to page 11)
• 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.
Amount of WATER LEVEL
Using the Dispenser Drawer
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.
NOTE
[ Minimum water amount ]
Water level depends on laundry load and washer model.The washer detects the required minimum water level and will not start
washing until this water level is reached.The water will fill automatically via the inlet valves, however if water is manually poured
into the tub via a bucket or similar vessel (NOT RECOMENDED), the washer will still detect this water and the wash cycle will
commence once the required water level is reached. NOTE :the cycle will not start until the lid is closed.
The dispenser drawer contains 2 compartments:
• Liquid Fabric Softener
• Low sudsing powder, High-Efficiency Detergent
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 laundry 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 Detergent
How much Detergent
The correct amount of Detergent will vary depending on the amount of soil in your clothes (Jeans and work
cloches may need more Detergent, while bath towels usually need less.).
For liquid and concentrated Detergents, follow the recommendations of the Detergent manufacturer.
Note: To check you are using the correct amount
of Detergent, lift the lid of your machine about
half-way through the wash. There should be a
thin layer of foam over the surface of the water.
Lots of foam may look good, but it does not
contribute to cleaning your clothes. No foam
means not enough Detergent has been used or the
water temperature is too cold for the soap to
dissolve;; 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, And long
term scrud build up.
Add measured detergent to the detergent compartment of the dispenser drawer.
Detergent is flushed through the dispenser at the beginning of the wash phase.
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.
Adding Detergent
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.
Choosing the right Detergent
We recommend the use of front loader type, low sudsing 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.
Detergent Softener, etc.

Before Starting to Wash
Using Fabric Softener
If you wish to use fabric softener we recommend
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.
Delay Start and some wash options are not designed to be used with fabric softener dispenser.
If desired, pour the recommended amount of liquid
fabric softener into the right-hand compartment.
Use only liquid fabric softener.
Dilute with water to the maximum fill line.
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the fabric softener,
which could stain clothes.
NOTE : Do not pour fabric softener directly on the wash load.
It may stain the clothes.
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.
• 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 21 or 33)
• Cold water washing increases the chance of this build-up occurring. We recommend a regular 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.
• 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 thoroughly with water before pouring.
Using Liquid Bleach
Bleach dispenser
NOTE
Never pour undiluted liquid bleach directly onto clothes or into the wash basket.
This may cause change of color or damage the laundry.
Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach dispenser.

Caution
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 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.

• Remove the water which remains in the water supply.
• Lower the drain hose flat against the ground and drain any remaining water left in the bowl
the and drain hose.
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 dishwashing detergent.
• Let it operate for several minutes.
• Stop the washer, tun off the power without draing the water, then open the lid and leave it to soak overnight.
• After soaking, drain the washer by briefly selecting a spin cycle until water has drained, and run it through a
normal warm water cycle without adding any detergent or clothes.
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 without presoaking and rinsing them first.)
• 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.

LG Electronics WT-H9556 Questions and Answers


#1 Machine extremely noisey, now not spinning and refilling to start cycle again. Any ideas?

If this did happen I would turn it off and on and start just that cycle again. Hardly ever happens.

#2 The specs say it has a wool setting but it does not. So what settings to use for washing woolens?

If you follow the instruction on page Washing Program from the owner's manual it did say:
Step 1: power on
Step 2: Press the Program button few times until it selects the Wool setting
Step 3: add the laundry
And so on ...
I personally never use Wool setting and can not comment on the result of this setting. To get what LG claims it does is best to read and follow the instruction on the menu carefully and pay attention on the order of each step

#3 My machine tangles the clothes very badly so they wash inefficiently. It also leaves lint and fluff on clothes. Is this a fault? Or the design. I find it extremely frustrating. When I have to continually rewash

I think it is the design of the filtering system leaving fluff or lints on clothes. I found it frustrating too. A way to minimise this problem is to wash clothes with like colours and sort out towels, flannelette from synthetic fabrics and use liquid detergent.

#4 What's best to use liquid or powder?

I use powder detergent, but this is just a personal preference. I really don't think it matters.
