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
.
Sort clothes into loads that can be
washed with the
same
wash cycle, Water Temperature
and spin speed.
Care Labels
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.
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.
Light and Large-sized clothing
Long laundry items
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 button and
submerge
additional items. Close the lid and press Start button again to restart.

a pretreat soil and stain remover.
Treat stains
