This document is an owner's manual for an LG Fully Automatic Washing Machine, providing instructions for safe installation, use, and maintenance.
Function Description:
The LG washing machine is designed to provide efficient and effective laundry care. It features an Inverter Direct Drive system, where the brushless DC motor directly drives the drum without a belt or pulley, enhancing durability and reducing noise. The machine incorporates 6 Motion technology, allowing for various drum actions or combinations thereof, depending on the selected wash program. This, combined with controlled spin speed and bi-directional drum rotation, significantly improves wash performance and minimizes creasing. A built-in heater automatically heats water to optimal temperatures for selected cycles. The Intelligent Wash System detects load size and water temperature to determine the best water level and washing time, optimizing energy and water consumption. For safety, it includes a Child Lock feature to prevent children from altering settings during operation. A low noise speed control system senses load amount and balance to evenly distribute the load and minimize spinning noise. The Auto Restart function ensures that the program resumes from where it stopped in case of a power failure.
