Affective agitation accelerates detergent dissolving and improves detergent penetration into the clothes. The half cycle rotations of the wash tub helps improve stain removal. The Waveforce action allows greater soil removal by creating centrifugal water forces which also helps reduce clothes wear due to washing. The half cycle rotations of the tub also helps balance the load and reduce tangling.

The advanced Brushless DC motor rotates the Tub directly without the need of belts or clutches, thereby reducing the noise of the washer. The washing machine adjusts to the optimum rotating speeds according to the type of clothing in the load.

Should you experience any technical difficulty with your washing machine, it has the capability of transmitting data by phone to the Customer Information Center. The Consultant records the data transmitted from your machine and uses it to analyze the issue, providing a fast and effective diagnosis.

The Tag On function allows you to conveniently use the LG Smart Diagnosis™, Cycle Download, Laundry Stats and Tag On Cycle Set features to communicate with your appliance right from your own smart phone.

Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two weeks or more. Hydrogen gas can be explosive under these circumstances. If the HOT water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning on all Hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical appliance which is connected to the HOT water system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this process.

The base opening must not be obstructed by carpeting when the washing machine is installed on a carpeted floor. This washer should not be used in any mobile application. Install or store where it will not be exposed to temperatures below freezing or exposed to the weather. If the product is exposed to such conditions, electric shock, fire, break down or deformation may occur. Properly ground washer to conform with all governing codes and ordinances. Follow details in Installation Instructions. If not grounded properly, break down and leakage of electricity may occur, which may cause electric shock. Must be positioned so that the plug is accessible. If the plug is placed between the wall and the machine, it may get damaged, possibly causing fire or electric shock. Make sure the plug is completely pushed into the outlet. Failure to do so may cause electric shock and fire due to overheating. This machine must not be installed outdoors, in a humid environment or in any sheltered outdoor area where it is subject to weathering conditions.

Keep the area underneath and around your appliances free of combustible materials such as lint, paper, rags, chemical, etc. Operating with such materials around the machine may trigger explosion or fire. Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used by or near children. Do not allow children to play on, with, or inside this or any other appliance. There is potential danger that children might drown in the tub.

Do not touch the power plug with a wet hand. It will cause electric shock. Do not put your hand, foot or anything under the washing machine while the washing machine is in operation. There is a rotating mechanism under the machine, so you could be injured. Do not use a plug socket and wiring equipment for more than their rated capacity. Exceeding the limit may lead to electric shock, fire, break down, and/or deformation of parts. Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar and/or rust remover. Mixing different chemicals can produce toxic gases which may cause death. Do not wash or dry articles that have been cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with combustible or explosive substances (such as wax, oil, paint, gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, kerosene, etc). Do not add these substances to the wash water. Do not use or place these substances around your washer or dryer during operation. They may ignite causing an explosion or fire.

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual. The laundry process can reduce the flame retardancy of fabrics. To avoid such a result, carefully follow the garment manufacturer’s wash and care instructions. To minimize the possibility of electric shock, unplug this appliance from the power supply or disconnect the washer at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Do not place hands into the tub while it is rotating. Doing so can cause serious injury. The machine should only be used for domestic household applications. Do not use the washer for washing rugs, mats, shoes or pet blankets.

No, pressing the Power button to turn off does NOT disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

Make sure that drainage is working properly. If water is not drained properly, your floor may get flooded. Flooded floors may induce electricity leakage, further resulting in electric shock or fire.

If, during spinning, opening the lid does not stop the tub within about 15 seconds, immediately discontinue operating the machine. Call for repair. A machine that spins with its door open may cause injuries.

Never reach into washer while it the tub is still spinning. Wait until the machine has completely stopped before opening the lid. Even slow rotation can cause injury.

Never attempt to operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or has missing or broken parts, including a damaged cord or plug. Operating with a damaged plug may cause electric shock.

Do not use water hotter than 65°C. Use of excessively hot water may cause damage to delicate fabrics or cause leakage of water.

Turn off water faucets to relieve pressure on hoses and valves and to minimize leakage if a break or rupture should occur. Check the condition of the fill hoses; they may need replacement after 5 years. When the air temperature is high and the water temperature is low, condensation may occur and thus wet the floor. Wipe off dirt or dust on the contacts of the power plug. Using unclean power plug may cause fire.

Before discarding a washer, or removing it from service, remove the washer lid to prevent children from hiding inside. Children may be trapped and suffocated if the lid is left intact.

Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of this appliance unless specifically recommended in this Owner’s Manual, or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out. Operating the machine with improperly replaced parts may be a cause for fire or electric shock. Do not tamper with controls. It may lead to electric shock, fire, break down, deformation.

Do not yank the power cord in an attempt to disconnect the power plug. Securely hold the power plug to unplug the machine. Failure to observe this instruction may cause electric shock or fire due to short-circuit.

When you are cleaning the washing machine, do not apply water directly to any part of the washing machine. It will cause short circuit and electric shock.

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. To get the best results, different fabrics need to be washed in different ways.

• SOIL (Heavy, Medium, Light): Separate clothes according to the type and amount of soil.
• COLOUR (Whites, Lights, Darks): Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.
• LINT (Lint producers, Collectors): Separate lint producers and lint collectors.

Lint Producers: Terry cloth, Chenille, Towels, Nappies, Diapers

Lint Collectors: Synthetics, Corduroy, Permanent Press, Socks

• 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 the washing instructions.
• Remove tissue from pockets.

Do not wash or spin any item labeled or known to be water-proof or water-resistant, even if the product care label on the item permits machine washing. Failure to follow these instructions could result in severe damage to your laundry, your washer and/or property damage as a result of abnormal vibration of the washer. Examples of water-proof or water-resistant items include certain mattress pads, mattress covers, rain gear, camping gear, skiing apparel, outdoor gear and similar items.

• 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.

Do not wash fabrics containing flammable materials (waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.). 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.

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.

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.

This machine detects the weight of the laundry automatically, then sets the Water Level and indicates the recommended amount of detergent to be added by the detergent level indicator. When you select a wash program, the Water Level will be shown on the control panel. The following table shows the amount of water.

When the Water Level is automatically detected, it may differ depending on the quantity of laundry, even though the same Water Level is indicated on the control panel. If bulky light weight items are loaded, then it may be necessary to increase the water level manually.

The washer has the ability to detect the weight of the clothes to determine the appropriate water level, but cannot detect the volume of clothes, therefore it will be necessary to increase the water level manually to avoid linting and tangling when washing bulky light weight loads.

When washing in COLD water additional steps may be needed: Adjust Detergent amount and pre-dissolve Detergent in WARM water, Pretreat spots and stains, Soak heavily soiled items, Use appropriate bleach. Temperature below 18°C will not activate laundry additives and may cause linting & soap residue, poor cleaning, etc. In addition, Detergent manufactures and care labels define COLD water as 26~29°C. If the temperature of the water in the tub is too cold for your hands, the Detergent will not activate and clean effectively.

If iron is present in the water, the clothes may become an all-over yellow or they may be stained with brown or orange spots or streaks. Iron is not always visible. Installation of a water softener or an iron filter may be necessary for severe cases.

The dispenser automatically dispenses additives at the proper time in the wash cycle.

1. Slowly open the dispenser drawer by pulling the drawer out until it stops.

2. After adding laundry products, slowly close the dispenser drawer. Closing the drawer too quickly could result in early dispensing of additives.

Avoid overfilling or splashing when adding laundry products to the dispenser. Doing so could result in early dispensing of laundry products. At the end of the cycle, you may see water in the compartments. This is part of the normal operation of the washer.

Do not use bleach in the dispenser drawer. Powdered detergent should only be used in the soap dispenser compartment. For optimum results, it may be necessary to dilute the Liquid Fabric softener before adding it to the softener dispenser.

We recommend the use of domestic Detergent (powder, liquid or concentrated). Soap flakes or granulated soap powders should not be used in your washing machine. When washing woolens remember to use Detergent suitable for washing woolens.

The correct amount of Detergent will vary depending on the amount of soil in your clothes (Jeans and work clothes may need more Detergent, while bath towels usually need less.). For liquid and concentrated Detergents, follow the recommendations of the Detergent manufacturer. To check that you are using the correct amount of Detergent, lift the lid of your machine about half-way through the wash. There should be a thin layer of foam over the surface of the water. Lots of foam may look good, but it does not contribute to cleaning your clothes. No foam means not enough Detergent has been used; soil and lint can settle back on the clothes or the washing machine. If excess Detergent is used, the rinse will not be as clean and efficient. Also, it could cause environmental pollution, so use it accordingly. Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the load. Avoid using too much detergent in your washer, as it can lead to oversudsing and detergent residue being left on the clothes.

Add measured powdered detergent to the detergent compartment of the dispenser drawer. The dispenser drawer MUST ALWAYS be in place before you start your washer.

Dilute Liquid detergent with water and pour into the tub, start the cycle. Delay wash course is not available if you use liquid detergent. Using liquid detergent without diluting, or leaving laundry for a long time after pouring diluted liquid detergent into the tub might cause damage, bleaching or discoloration of the clothes.

• Check clothing care label for special instructions and separate the laundry to be bleached.
• Dilute liquid chlorine bleach.
• Measure the recommended amount of liquid bleach carefully following instructions on the bottle.
• Before starting the washer, pour measured amount of bleach directly into bleach dispenser. Avoid splashing or overfilling. Powdered bleach should be mixed with water before pouring.

Never pour undiluted liquid bleach directly onto clothes or into the wash basket. This may cause change of color or damage the laundry. Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach dispenser.

If desired, pour the recommended amount of liquid fabric softener into the right-hand compartment. Use only liquid fabric softener. Dilute with water to the maximum fill line. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the fabric softener, which could stain clothes. Do not pour fabric softener directly on the wash load. It may stain the clothes. Do not mix with Detergent or bleach. Never pour fabric softener directly on clothes. It may stain them. Do not stop the washer during the first spin for timely dispensing. Option washing is not designed to be used with fabric softener dispenser.

Scrud is the name given to the waxy build-up that can occur within any washer when the fabric softener comes into contact with Detergent. This build-up is not brought about by a fault in the machine. If scrud is allowed to build-up in the machine it can result in stains on your clothes or an unpleasant smell in your washer.

If you wish to use fabric softener we recommend:

• Using fabric softener sparingly.
• When filling the dispenser, do not splash or overfill.
• Clean dispenser as soon as the cycle is finished.
• Clean your machine regularly.
• Cold water washing increases the chance of this build-up occurring. We recommend a regular WARM or HOT wash, for example, every 5th wash should be at least a warm one.
• Fabric softener with a thinner consistency is less likely to leave residue on the dispenser and contribute to a build-up.

To reduce the risk of fire or serious injury to persons or property, comply with the basic warnings listed below: Read and comply with all instructions on stain removal products. Keep stain removal products in their original labeled containers and out of children’s reach. Thoroughly wash any utensil used. Do not combine stain removal products, especially ammonia and chlorine bleach. Dangerous fumes may result. Never wash items which have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances because they give off vapors that could ignite or explode. Never use highly flammable solvents, such as gasoline, inside the home. Vapors can explode on contact with flames or sparks.

For successful stain removal:

• Remove stains promptly.
• Determine the kind of stain, then follow the recommended treatment in the stain removal chart below.
• To pretreat stains, use a prewash product, liquid Detergent, or a paste made from granular Detergent and water.
• Use COLD water on unknown stains because HOT water can set stains.
• Check care label instructions for treatments to avoid on specific fabrics.
• Check for colorfastness by testing stain remover on an inside seam.
• Rinse and wash items after stain removal.

Follow fabric care label instructions.

If you do not know the position of your NFC antenna, move your smart phone very slightly in a circular motion until the application verifies the connection.

Because of the characteristics of NFC, if the transmission distance is too far, or if there is a metal sticker or a protective case on the phone, transmission will not be good. In some cases, NFC-equipped phones may be unable to transmit successfully.

This function will allow you to choose an additional cycle (available from a list in the LG Smart Laundry & DW Global app) and download the cycle to the “Download Cycle” option on the front of the washing machine control panel. To use this function, simply select “Tag On Cycle Download” in the LG Smart Laundry & DW Global app (refer to “Before using the Tag On Function” in this manual) and then select your desired cycle from the list, then simply hold your phone next to ‘Tag On” icon on the front of the washing machine and your desired cycle data will be downloaded to the washing machine “Download Cycle” option on the front control panel.

If the washing machine is currently in the middle of any cycle, you cannot transfer a new cycle to the “Download Cycle” option on the front of the washing machine control panel, an error message “Notice- the appliance is running” will be displayed on the application. After the cycle data has been downloaded to the washing machine from the LG Smart Laundry & DW Global app, the “Download Cycle” option will memorise and retain the cycle data, even if the washing machine is switched off then back on at the power point. After the cycle data has been downloaded to the washing machine from the LG Smart Laundry & DW Global app, the cycle will not start automatically, you can start the cycle by pressing the “Start/Pause” button on the front of the washing machine control panel. As the washing machine is not able to display the additional cycles anywhere on the front control panel, you can check what cycle is currently in use by selecting “Tag On Cycle Download”, and tapping the refresh symbol. The app will then prompt you to “Tag on Target Area”

This function will tell you when the next Tub Clean cycle is needed for your washing machine and also tell you the 3 below points of data from the washing machine: The history of the 10 most recently used cycles (in no specific order). The most “frequently used cycle”. The last cycle that was used or that is currently in use. To use this function simply select “Laundry Stats” in the LG Smart Laundry & DW Global app and the above cycle data will be displayed.

If washing machine is turned off from the power point and then back on, the washing machine will still memorise and retain all 3 above points of cycle data. If the unit is currently in the middle of any cycle, you can still use the “Laundry Stats” function of the LG Smart Laundry & DW Global app.

This function will explain in more detail, the recommended applications for some certain cycles that are available on the front of the washing machine control panel. (excluding “Download Cycle”). To use this function simply select the “Tag On Cycle Set” on your LG Smart Laundry & DW Global app, then select your applicable cycle, then simply hold your phone up to “Tag On” icon of the front of the washing machine and the desired cycle will automatically start.

If the unit is currently in the middle of a cycle, you cannot set a “Tag On Cycle Set, an error message “Notice- the appliance is running” will be displayed on the application.

Please ensure any foam transit restraint has been removed from the machines packaging before.

1. Place the machine on a flat and firm surface which allows proper clearance. We suggest a minimum clearance of 2 cm to the right and left sides of the machine for ease of installation. At the rear, a minimum clearance of 10 cm is suggested.

If the washer is installed on an uneven, tilted, or weak timber floor causing excessive vibration, a spin failure or “UE” error can occur. It must be placed on a firm and level floor to prevent spin failure.

2. Check that the machine is level. Open the lid and look from above to see if it is same as shown.

3. Leveling the machine. Lift the front of the washing machine and twist the appropriate Adjustable Leg until the surface bubble is (some models only) located in the center.

How to use the rubber adjusting plates: Use the adjusting plates to level the washer when the adjustable legs cannot cover the gap.

If an extension cord or power board is used, ensure it is positioned so that it is not exposed to water or moisture. This machine should be connected to a 230~240v town mains power outlet.

1. Fit the end of the drain hose to the outlet of the drain pump and secure the clamp.

2. Put the other end of the drain hose over the standpipe or wash tub.

To prevent siphoning, the drain hose should not extend more than 50 mm from the end of the hose guide. The discharge height should be approximately 0.9 ~ 1.2 m from the floor.

If you always use COLD water, we recommend that a WARM or HOT wash be used at regular intervals e.g. every 5th wash should be at least a WARM one.

Turn off taps to prevent the chance of flooding should a hose burst. Always unplug the power cord after use. Turning the washer off from the POWER button does not disconnect the main power.

When water supply into the tub is not clean or the inlet valve filter is clogged with particles (such as sand), clean the filter in the inlet valve occasionally.

1. Close the taps. Turn on the washer and press START/PAUSE. the washer will attempt to commence washing and release the water in the inlet valves. When there is no more water, turn the power off from the mains outlet switch.

Connect the water supply hose to the water tap and confirm that the washing machine performs the supply and drainage of water.

Leave the lid open after washing to allow moisture to evaporate. If you want to clean the inner-tub use a clean soft cloth dampened with liquid Detergent, then rinse. (Do not use harsh or gritty cleaners.)

Hoses connecting washer to the tap should be replaced every 5 years. Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe with damp cloth. Try not to hit surface with sharp objects.

Be sure that the water supply is shut off at the taps. Drain all water from hoses if weather will be below freezing.

If you use fabric softener or do regular COLD water washing, it is very important that you occasionally clean the inside of your washer.

• Fill your washer with HOT water.
• Add about two cups of a powdered Detergent that contains phosphate.
• Let it operate for several minutes.
• Stop the washer, open the lid and leave it to soak overnight.
• After soaking, drain the washer and run it through a normal cycle.

Or use TUB CLEAN PROGRAM periodically. Do not wash clothes during this procedure.

• Concentrated bleaches and nappy sanitizer will cause damage to the paintwork and components of your washer.
• Hydrocarbon solvents i.e. petrol, paint thinners and lacquer thinners, etc. can dissolve plastic and blister paint (Be careful when washing garments stained with these solvents as they are flammable DO NOT put them in washer or dryer.)
• Some pretreatment sprays or liquids can damage your washer’s control panel when applied next to the washer.
• Use of dyes in your washer may cause staining of the plastic components. The dye will not damage the machine but we suggest you thoroughly clean your washer afterwards. We do not recommend the use of dye strippers in your washer.
• Do not use your washer lid as a work surface.

Using tempered glass, the inside of the washer can be seen safely during a wash. To prevent sudden close of door, it has a dampened hinge so the door closes softly. Door is heavy. Be careful not to place hands in the door closing area when operating. It might cause injury or damage to the product.

Smart Diagnosis is a troubleshooting feature designed to assist, not replace, the traditional method of troubleshooting through service calls. The effectiveness of this feature depends upon various factors, including, but not limited to, the reception of the cellular phone being used for transmission, any external noise that may be present during the transmission, and the acoustics of the room where the machine is located. Accordingly, LG does not guarantee that Smart Diagnosis can accurately troubleshoot any given issue.
