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 before Loading
• Pretreat shirt collars and cuffs with a pre-wash product or liquid Detergent when placing them in the washer.
Before washing treat special stains with bar soaps, liquid Detergent or a paste of water and granular Detergent.
• Use a pretreat soil and stain remover.
Treat stains AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. The longer they are left the harder they are to remove.
(For more detail refer to page 13)
Pretreatment on stains or heavy soil
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/PAUSE” button
and submerge additional items. Close the lid and press “START/PAUSE” 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.
Do not wash water-proof textilles (Suckling outfit, baby's nappy automobile seat covers.)
Long laundry items
Use nylon nets for long, DELICATES 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.

dampened with gasoline or other flammable
fluids.

of oil on it (including cooking oils).
