mportant Safety Information
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed
to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to
prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.
WARNING!
• Read all instructions before using the washer.
• Do not wash articles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted
with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other
flammable or explosive substances, as they
give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• Do not add gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or
other flammable or explosive substances to the
wash water. These substances give off vapors
that could ignite or explode.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may
be produced in a hot water system that has not
been used for weeks or more. HYDROGEN
GAS IS EXPLOSIVE! If the hot water system
has not been used for such a period, before
using the washing machine, turn on all hot
water faucets, and let the water flow from each
for several minutes. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is
flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame
during this time.
• Do not allow children to play on or in the
washer. Close supervision of children is
necessary when the washer is used near
children.
• Before the washer is removed from service or
discarded, remove the lid to prevent children
from hiding inside.
• Do not reach into the washer if the basket or
agitator is moving.
• Do not install or store the washer where it will
be exposed to the weather.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the washer
or attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in the user-maintenance
instructions or published user-repair
instructions that you understand and have
the skills to carry out.
• See Installation Instructions for grounding
requirements.
GROUNDING INSTRU TIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the
risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into
an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
Do not use an adapter or otherwise defeat the grounding plug.
If you don’t have the proper outlet, consult an electrician.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRU TIONS
WARNING :
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer,
follow basic precautions, including the following:
SAVE THESE INSTRU TIONS
WARNING :
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or ser iceman if you are in doubt as to whether
the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug pro ided with the appliance - if it does
not fit the outlet, ha e a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

How to Remove Stains
Pretreating dirt and stains
Brush a little washing detergent dissolved in water onto stains, collars, and cuffs to help shift dirt.
The secret of stain treatment is immediate action.
When an accident happens, plunge the stained area into cold water and sponge it down.
This prevents the stain from setting. Wash as soon as possible afterwards.
• Treat stains AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. The longer they are left, the harder it is to remove them.
• Always consider the type of fabric you are treating to make sure you do not use a water temperature
that is too hot or a treatment that will alter the color of the fabric.
It pays to pre-wash products and solvents on an inconspicuous part of the garment first.
• Place the garment being treated on an absorbent cloth, such as an old towel.
Work from the reverse side of the stain, as this can force the stain off the fabric instead of through it.
• Use cold or warm water on unknown stains as hot water can set some stains.
• Some stains are not easily seen when the fabric is wet. Air dry the stained garment to be sure the stain
has been removed, as heat from a dryer may set the stain.
• Take care with stain removal treatments as they are often flammable and highly poisonous.
Do not use them in your washer as they may damage the paint or plastic components.
• Some pretreatment sprays or liquids can damage control panel of your washer.
Diaper Sanitizers
• Diaper sanitizers are very corrosive to metal surfaces. DO NOT soak diapers in sanitizers in your
washer or tip the contents of the diaper bucket into your machine.
Rinse and wring diapers out thoroughly before placing them in your machine.
Diapers
• Scrape off any excess baby cream, such as Vaseline , from the diapers before washing and
handwash to prevent the cream being transferred to other items in the wash.

Clothes like downs and woolens are lightweight,
large, and float easily. You can use a nylon laundry
washing bag specifically designed for washing light
items...
If the laundry floats during the
wash cycle, it may become damaged.
Use dissolved detergent to prevent the
detergent from clumping.
reparation Before Washing
P
• Check all pockets 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 on care label. (Refer to page 30.)
To get the best results, different fabrics is needed 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, Chenile, Towels, Nappies, Diapers
• Lint Collectors Synthetics, Corduroy, Permanent Press, Socks
Sorting
Check before Loading
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. (Refer to page 30.)
Sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle, water temperature, and spin speed.
Care Labels
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.

Load Size
The water level should be greater than the amount of laundry. Load laundry loosely no higher than the top row of
holes in the washer tub. To add items after washer has started, press the START/PAUSE button and submerge
additional items. Close the lid and press the START/PAUSE button again to restart.
Loading
Fire Hazard
Ne er place items in the washer that are
dampened with gasoline or other flammable fluids.
No washer can remo e oil completely.
Do not dry anything that has e er had any type of
oil on it (including cooking oils).
Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

ater Level and Temperature
Water Temperature
• You can change the water temperature by pressing the WATER TEMP. button.
The temperature of the water impacts the effectiveness of all laundry additives and, therefore, which
results in wash performance. We recommend the water temperature as follows :
• Temperature below 65˚F (18˚C) will not activate laundry additives and may cause lint, residue, poor
cleaning, etc. In addition, detergent manufactures and care labels define cold water as 80~85˚F
( 6.5~ 9.5˚C).
If the temperature of the water in the tub is cold to your hands, the detergent will not be activated
and clean effectively.
• 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.
• 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.
Water Level
(refer to p10)
• If you do not specify the water level ‘L(Large)’ will be automatically selected.
Note
Note
* 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
HOT 120 - 140˚F : White items, diapers, underclothes, and hea ily soiled, colorfast items.

se of Detergent
U
Amount of Detergent
• Follow the directions on the detergent package.
• Using too little detergent is a common cause of performance problems.
• Use more detergent if you have hard water, large loads, greasy or oily soils, or lower water temperature.
• The correct amount of detergent will vary depending on the amount of soil in your clothes.
(Jeans and work clothes may need more detergent while bath towels need less.)
• For liquid and concentrated detergent, follow the recommendations of the detergent manufacturer.
To see if you are using the correct amount of detergent, lift the lid of your washer about half-way during
the wash. There should be a thin layer of foam over the surface of the water. Lots of foam seems to be
good, but it does not contribute to washability. No foam means not enough detergent has been used; soil
and lint can settle back on the clothes or the washing machine.
• We recommend powdered detergent for the detergent box.
• Soap or granulated soap powders should not be used in your washing machine to prevent build-up.
• When washing woolens, remember to use a detergent suitable for washing woolens.
If excessive detergent is used, the rinse will not be as clean and efficient.
Also, it could cause environmental pollution, so measure and add detergent accordingly.
Attention
Choosing the Right Detergent
• Pull out the detergent box and deposit the
appropriate amount of detergent .
Adding the Detergent
• Some detergents MUST be fully dissolved before adding to your machine to get the best wash results.
Check the instructions on the detergent package.
• If you add powdered detergent to the wash tub directly, it is essential that the required amount be fully
dissolved in hot water before being added to warm or hot water for the actual wash.
Pre-dissolving detergent in warm water when washing in cold water can improve its performance.
