Intelligent Wash System detects the amount of load and water
temperature, and then determines the optimum water level and
washing time to minimize energy and water consumption.

Child Lock
The Child lock prevents children from pressing any button to
change the settings during operation.

Low noise speed control system

By sensing the amount of load and balance, it evenly distributes
load to minimize the spinning noise level.

Direct Drive System

The advanced Brushless DC motor directly drives the drum without

explode. Oil may remain in the tub after a whole
cycle resulting in fire during drying. So, do not load
oiled clothes.
Do not slam the washer door closed or try to force
the door open when locked. This could result in
damage to the washer.
When the machine runs high temperature, the front
door may be very hot. Dont touch it.
To minimize the possibility of electric shock, unplug

CAUTION
This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision. Young Children should
be supervised to ensure that they do not play with appliance.

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.

nstallation

This equipment is not designed for maritime use or for use mobile installations such as
caravans, aircraft etc.
Turn off the stopcock if the machine is to be left for any length of time (e.g. holiday),
especially if there is no floor drain(gully) in the immediate vicinity.
When disposing of the appliance, cut off the mains cable, and destroy the plug Disable the
door lock to prevent young children being trapped inside.
Packaging material (e.g. Films, Styrofoam) can be dangerous for children. There is a risk
of suffocation !
Keep all packaging well away from children

 Installation of drain hose

When installing the drain hose sink,

secure it tightly with a string.
Proper securing of the drain hose will
protect the floor from damage due to
water leakage.

The drain hose should not be placed

higher than 100 cm above the floor.
Proper securing of the drain hose will
protect the floor from damage due to
water leakage.
When the drain hose is too long, do
not force back into the washer. This
will cause abnormal noise.

nstallation

Level adjustment
1. Adjusting the washing machine level properly prevents excessive
noise and vibration.
Install the appliance on a solid and level floor surface, preferably in a
corner of the room.
NOTE

Timber or suspended type flooring may contribute to

excessive vibration and unblance errors.

2. If the floor is uneven, adjust the adjustable feet as required. (do not
insert pieces of wood etc. under the feet)
Make sure that all four feet are stable and resting on the floor and
then check that the appliance is perfectly level. (use a spirit level)
After the washer is level, tighten the lock nuts up towards of the base of
the washer. All lock nuts must be tightened.
Adjustable
feet

NOTE

Adjustable
feet

In the case that the washing machine is installed on a raised

platform, it must be securely fastened in order
to eliminate the risk that it might fall off.

Diagonal Check
When pushing down the edges of the washing machine top plate diagonally, the machine
should not move up and down at all. (Please, check both of two directions)
If machine rocks when pushing the machine top plate diagonally, adjust the feet again.

Concrete floors
The installation surface must be clean, dry and level.
Install washer on a flat hard floor.

Tile floors (Slippery floors)

Position each foot on the Tread Mate and level the machine to suit. (Cut Tread Mate into 70x70 mm
sections and stick the pieces on to the dry tile where machine is to be placed.)
Tread Mate is a self adhesive material used on ladders & steps that prevents slipping.

Wooden floors (Suspended floors)

Rubber Cup

Wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration.

To prevent vibration we recommend you place rubber cups under each foot,
at least 15mm thick under the washer, secured to at least 2 floor beams with screws.
If possible install the washer in one of the corners of the room, where the floor is more stable.
Insert the rubber cups to reduce vibration.
You can obtain the rubber cups (p/no.4620ER4002B) from the LG spares dept.

Important!
Proper placement and levelling of the washer ensure long,regular and reliable operation.
The washer must be absolutely horizontal and stand firmly in position.
It must not Seesaw across corners under load.
The installation surface must be clean, free from floor wax and other lubricant coatings.
Do not let the feet of the washer get wet. If feet of the washer get wet, slipping may occur.

are before washing

 Before the first washing

Select a cycle (COTTON 60C, 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.

 Caring before washing

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 discoloration 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 dont
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 shift dirt.

Check the folds of the flexible gasket (gray) and

remove any small articles,if any.
Check inside of the drum and remove any left
items in it for next wash cycle.
Remove any clothing or items on the flexible
gasket to prevent clothing and the gasket
damages.

A dding detergent
3. Detergent dosage
The detergent should be used according to the
instruction of the detergent manufacture.
If too much detergent is used, too many suds
can occur and this will decrease the washing
result or cause heavy load to the motor.
Use powder detergent only for the front
loading washer.

If suds occur too much, pleas reduce the

detergent amount.
Detergent usage may need to be adjusted
for water temperature, water hardness,
size and soil level of the load. For best
results, avoid oversudsing.

Tips
Full load : according to
manufacturers recommendation.
Part load : 3/4 of the normal
amount.
Minimum load : 1/2 of full load.
Detergent is flushed from the dispenser
at the beginning of the cycle.
