This document is the owner's manual for an LG semi-automatic washing machine, providing comprehensive instructions for installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. The manual is presented in both English and Hindi.
Function Description
The LG washing machine is designed for washing and spinning clothes. It features separate tubs for washing and spin-drying, allowing for flexible operation.

Users are advised to check clothing labels for washing instructions, empty pockets before washing, and separate oiled or dyed laundry. Water level and detergent amounts are guided by reference tables based on laundry weight and soil level.
Maintenance Features
Regular maintenance is crucial for the machine's longevity and performance:
- Lint Filter Cleaning: Instructions are provided to pull out, turn over the net, rinse with water, and re-fit the lint filter until a click sound is heard.
- Magic Filter Cleaning: For models with a Magic Filter, the manual details how to pull out the filter, open its back cover, remove the inner filter, remove lint, rinse with water, and re-install it.
- Overflow Filter & Rotation Filter-C Cleaning: Steps include lifting the overflow filter, pulling out the rotation filter-C, pulling the overflow filter forward, turning over the net, rinsing with water, removing lint with a brush or hand, and re-inserting both filters.
- Pulsator Cleaning: If objects get caught in the pulsator, users can remove the pulsator cap, unscrew the central screw, lift the pulsator to remove the object, and then reassemble.
- Detergent Box Cleaning: Instructions are given to pull out the detergent box, press its side to rotate downwards, and clean it with water.
- Spin Dryer Basket Maintenance: If clothing gets trapped between the spin dryer basket and the spin tub, the safety cover can be pulled upward to remove the clothing, then securely closed.
- General Cleaning: The washing machine can be cleaned with a mild liquid detergent. Abrasive cleaners or chemicals like benzene or thinner should not be used as they can damage painted surfaces and plastic parts.
The manual emphasizes disconnecting the power cord before any maintenance. It also includes a troubleshooting guide for common issues like the motor not operating, spin dryer basket not working, water not entering, or no draining, with corresponding checking points. A warranty section outlines terms and conditions, including a 2-year warranty on all parts except lint filter, knobs, inlet/outlet hose, and top covers, provided the warranty card is properly stamped and signed by an authorized dealer.
