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 page 30.)
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 is needed to be washed in different ways.
• SOIL (Heavy, Normal, Light)
• COLOR (Whites, Lights, Darks)
• LINT (Lint Producers, Collectors) Separate lint producers and lint collectors.
• Lint Producers
• Lint Collectors
Check before Loading
• 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.)
Loading
• 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.
• Light and Large-sized Clothing
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.
• 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.
Terry cloth, Chenile, Towels, Nappies, Diapers
Synthetics, Corduroy, Permanent Press, Socks
Never place items in the washer that are
dampened with gasoline or other flammable fluids.
No washer can remove oil completely.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of
oil on it (including cooking oils).
Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
