Function Description

The LG Washing Machine is designed to provide efficient and safe laundry care. It incorporates several advanced features to optimize washing performance and user convenience:

i-sensors: Automatically detect detergent quantity, water temperature, and water quality to create the best washing and rinsing algorithm, ensuring optimal cleaning results.
SMART CLEANING: Optimizes detergent residue removal during washing and rinsing cycles by adding up to 5 extra rinses based on i-sensor detection.
FUZZY logic control: A built-in load sensor detects laundry weight, and a microprocessor optimizes water level and washing time accordingly.
Turbo drum washing (option): Features "Punch + 3" washing wings that turn the washing tub in the opposite direction, creating strong water currents for enhanced rubbing and cleaning.
3 Step washing: Ensures excellent washing performance with minimal tangling through rubbing, rubbing and shaking, and shaking and disentangling stages.

The machine offers various washing programs tailored to different laundry conditions and types:

FUZZY (Normal) Wash: For everyday loads, automatically selecting optimal conditions.
JEANS Wash: For heavily soiled, durable garments like overalls and jeans.
SMART CLEANING: Enhances rinsing performance, suitable for underwear and baby clothes, or for users with sensitive skin.

QUICK WASH: For lightly soiled clothes under 2.0 kg, offering a short wash time.
SOAK Wash: For heavily soiled laundry, allowing clothes to soak to remove dirt and grime.
FAVORITE Wash: Allows users to store and recall their preferred wash conditions.
SILENT Wash: Designed for quiet operation, ideal for late-night or dawn washing.
TUB CLEAN: A program to clean the inner and outer tubs of the washing machine, especially recommended for preventing scrud build-up.
AIR DRY: Reduces drying time by minimizing remaining moisture in laundry, also keeps the inner tub from getting moldy.
DELAY START (RESERVATION) Wash: Allows users to delay the finishing time of the operation from 3 to 48 hours.
Option Washing: Provides flexibility to select only specific cycles like WASH, RINSE/SPIN, RINSE, WASH/RINSE, WASH/RINSE/SPIN, or SOAK/WASH/RINSE/SPIN.
