Function Description
The LG Washing Machine performs three primary functions: washing, rinsing, and spin-drying.
- Washing: Users can select the desired wash time using the Wash Timer, which offers options for soaking, washing, or rinsing. The Wash Selector allows for different intensity levels: "GENTLE," "NORMAL," and "STRONG," depending on the type and quantity of laundry. Some models (P7251N1F/P7254N1F/P7258N1F) may not include the Wash Selector. The machine supports a "Soak Function" where it operates for 1.5 minutes and then remains off for 5 minutes, repeating this cycle for the selected soak time to improve cleaning by allowing detergent water to penetrate fabric pores.
- Rinsing: The machine offers a "Continuous water supply rinse" method, where clothes are rinsed under a continuous flow of water. The drain selector is set to "Wash - Rinse" position, laundry is placed in the wash tub, and the water tap is opened while the wash timer is set for the desired rinse time. An "Interim spin rinse" feature is also available, which removes sudsy water from the laundry before regular rinsing, enhancing rinsing efficiency. This involves placing laundry in the spin dryer basket, securing it with the safety cover, setting the water selector to "SPIN," opening the tap for about 1 minute, then turning off the water supply, closing covers, and setting the spin timer.
- Spin-Drying: After washing, laundry is transferred to the spin dryer basket. The Spin Timer allows users to select the desired spin time, with recommendations varying by fabric type: 1 minute for thin fabrics (synthetic, mixed, sweaters), 1-3 minutes for silk (synthetic), 3-5 minutes for cotton underwear, and 5-10 minutes for sheets and towels. It is crucial not to drain water from the wash tub while the spin dryer basket is operating to prevent damage to the spin motor. If excessive vibration or abnormal noise occurs during spinning, users are instructed to immediately open the spin dryer cover and rearrange the laundry evenly.
