reparation Before Washing
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. (Refer to p. 26.)
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.
• SOIL (Heavy, Normal, Light)
• COLOR (Whites, Lights, Darks)
• LINT (Lint producers, Collectors) Separate lint producers and lint collectors.

Check before Loading
• 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 on care label (Refer to p. 26.)
Loading
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.
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.
Separate clothes according to the type and amount of soil.
Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.
