Loading The Washer - LG WT7100C Series Owner's Manual

18 OPERATION

Loading the Washer

• Check and empty pockets. Paper clips, coins,
matches, etc. can damage clothing and the washer.
• Close zippers and hooks, and tie drawstrings to
prevent snagging or tangling of clothes.
• Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results.
• Combine large and small items in a load. Load large
items first. Large items should not be more than half
of total load.
• Wash thick, bulky items individually. Heavy blankets,
comforters, bedspreads, or pet beds can get
tangled or cause an unbalanced load if combined
with other items.
• The washer can be fully loaded, but the tub should
not be tightly packed with items. The lid (door) of
the washer must close easily.
• Do not wash single small items. Add 1-2 similar
items to the load to prevent an out-of-balance load.
• Do not wash/spin waterproof items. Washing
raincoats or sleeping bags may result in abnormal
vibration or may cause the load to bounce, which
could damage the tub.
• Wash small, light items in a mesh bag. Small items
can get caught in the impeller at the bottom of the
tub, and brassiere hooks can damage other items
or the tub.
• Brush off heavy soil, dust, and hair from items
before washing. Excess dirt or sand can abrade
other fabrics and lead to poor wash performance.
• The washer will not fill or operate with the lid (door)
open.
• Use the Bedding cycle for large or bulky items such
as poly-filled jackets, comforters, pillows, etc. These
items may not be as absorbent as other laundry
items and should be sorted into a separate wash
load for optimal results.
• Bulky items should be placed as far down in the
tub as possible for optimal results. Always place
buoyant items at the bottom of the tub. The washer
will automatically detect the load size. Because of
the high efficiency wash system, the water level
may not completely cover the load.
• Do not overload the tub. Clothes should fit loosely in
the tub under the maximum fill line. Loading clothes
over the fill line may result in damage to clothing
and the washer.
- Load clothes loosely, and do not overfill the tub.
Clothes need room to circulate in order to get
clean.
- Do not press down on items while stacking them
in the tub.
