3-2. BEFORE STARTING TO WASH
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.
Sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle, Water Temperature and spin speed.
Sorting
To get the best results, different fabrics need to be washed in different ways.
t SOIL (Heavy, Normal, Light) Separate clothes according to the type and amount of soil.
t COLOR (Whites, Lights, Darks) Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.
t 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

button again to restart. Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
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.
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.

Using Water
Note
[Minimum water amount]
It depends on laundry load and washer model. Or manually you can pour a certain amount water into tub directly
to some height. That’s because if water level reaches to the some height sensed by washer itself, washer
automatically operates. In other words, it is needed to pour water to the point when washer starts operating.
Water Temperature
• The machine sets the appropriate temperature automatically according to the wash program .
• You can change the Water Temperature by pressing the WATER TEMP. button.
• The temperature of the water impacts the efi ectiveness of alllaundry 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) 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
- 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).
Note
If iron is present in the water the clothes may become an all-over yellow or they may be stained with brown or
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.
Using Detergent
Adding Detergent
Add measured detergent to the detergent compartment of the dispenser drawer.

Powdered bleach should be mixed with water before pouring.
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.
Measure and add the recommended amount of softener into the compartment market
with this symbol
Follow manufacturer’s direction.
Fabric softener is automatically dispensed in the final rinse with indication beep.
If you want extra rinse, you must add fabric softner manually when indication
beep rings in the final rinse.
This maximize the fabric softner function.
The effect of adding fabric softener may vary according to its viscosity. The stickier fabric
softener makes its effect the lower. For a sticky fabric softener it is recommended that it be
diluted with water, then be manually put during the time when the washer beeps several
times before the final rinse. This function informing correct time to dispense manually is
optionally applied to some models. Please keep it in mind that fabric softener has to be diluted
with water before dispensed and never poured directly on clothes.
