PREPARATION
USING THE SOFTENER AND DETERGENT
DISPENSER
To add detergent, and fabric softener to the auto-
matic dispenser:
1. Open the dispenser drawer.
2. Load the laundry products into the appropriate
compartments.
3. Close the drawer before starting the cycle.
4. If using fabric softener on NORMAL or HEAVY
DUTY cycles, press the FABRIC SOFTENER but-
ton or select the EXTRA RINSE option.
NOTE: It is normal for a small amount of water to
remain in the softener compartment at the end of
the cycle.
IMPORTANT: Do not place or store laundry prod-
ucts, such as detergent, bleach, or liquid fabric soft-
ener, on top of your washer or dryer. Wipe up any
spills immediately. These products can damage the
finish and controls.
USING THE LIQUID BLEACH DISPENSER
1. Check clothing care labels for special instructions.
2. Measure liquid bleach carefully, following instruc-
tions on the bottle. High-efficiency washers use
less water, so less bleach is needed. One half cup is
enough for most loads.
3. Carefully pour the pre-measured amount of bleach
directly into the bleach dispenser. If you are using
powdered bleach of any kind, pour it directly into the
tub before adding the laundry. Never add powdered
bleach to the liquid bleach dispenser.
•
Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly
onto clothes or into the tub.
•
Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach dispenser.
•
Do not place laundry items on top of the bleach dis-
penser when loading and unloading the washer.
Always measure and pour bleach carefully.
•
Avoid overfilling or splashing when adding bleach
to the dispenser.

CLEANING THE LINT FILTERS
Your washer comes with two lint filters inside the
drum. These lint filters are designed to collect lint
and other debris and prevent it from depositing on
your laundry during the wash cycle.
Clean the lint filters at least every 2-3 loads. Clean
the filters more often if washing high lint-producers
(like towels) or if you notice that filters are filling
more quickly.
To clean the lint filters:
1. Pinch the tabs on the top and bot-
tom of the filter to release the filter
from the drum wall.
2. On the back of the filter, pull on the
triangular tab to open the filter. (It
may help to place your thumb in the
middle slot on the back and gently
pull.)
3. Pull the filter completely open.
4. Use your fingers or a soft brush to
remove the lint from both sides of
the filter.
5. If necessary, rinse the filter under
running water to clean out any re-
maining lint.
6. Close the filter and snap it back
into place with the tabs at top and
bottom. Make sure both tabs are
locked into the housing by pressing
firmly until you hear the tabs click.
CAUTION
• Make sure the filters are locked in place. Failure
to lock both upper and lower tabs could cause
the filter to come loose during a cycle result-
ing in damage to the filter and/or articles in the
load.
Failure to clean the filters regularly can result in
•
reduced cleaning performance due to reduced
water flow through the filters.
• Failure to clean the filters regularly can result in
odors caused by lint buildup in the filters.
•
Operating the washer without the lint filters
can result in damage to clothing caught in the
open filter housing.
NOTE: If a lint filter becomes torn or damaged, you
can purchase a new one by calling your LG service
center.
