Loading The Washer; Adding Cleaning Products - LG SIGNATURE WM9500HKA Owner's Manual

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.
• The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum
should not be tightly packed with items. The 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.
• 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.
• 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 drum.
• Wash small, light items in a mesh bag. Items like
underwear can get caught in the door seal, and
a brassiere hook may damage other items or the
drum.
• 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.
• For best performance, load clothes as shown.
- Load clothes loosely, and do not overfill the
drum. Clothes need room to circulate in order to
get clean.
- Do not press down on items while stacking them
in the drum.
