This document is an owner's manual for an LG washing machine, providing comprehensive information on its features, installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
Function Description
The LG washing machine is designed for efficient and safe laundry care. It incorporates several advanced features to optimize washing performance and user convenience:
- Inverter Direct Drive system: Utilizes an advanced Brushless DC motor that directly drives the drum without a belt and pulley, enhancing durability and reducing noise.
- 6 Motion technology: The washer is capable of performing various drum actions or a combination of different actions depending on the wash program selected. This combined with controlled spin speed and the ability of the drum to rotate both left and right, improves wash performance and reduces creasing.
- Protection against creases: Achieved through the alternating rotation of the drum, minimizing creasing.
- Built-in heater: Automatically heats the water to the best temperature for selected cycles, ensuring optimal cleaning.
- More economical with Intelligent Wash system: This system detects the size of the load and water temperature, then determines the optimum water level and washing time to minimize energy and water consumption.
- Child Lock: Prevents children from pressing any button to change the settings during operation.
- Low noise speed control system: By sensing the amount of load and balance, it evenly distributes the load to minimize spinning noise.
- Auto Restart: Allows the program to restart all by itself in case of power failure, resuming from the stage where it stopped.
- SMARTDIAGNOSIS™ function: This feature is available for products with a SMARTDIAGNOSIS™ mark, enabling users to troubleshoot issues by transmitting diagnostic signals to a call center via a smartphone.
