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 for fully automatic operation, featuring an Inverter Direct Drive system with an advanced brushless DC motor that directly drives the drum, eliminating the need for a belt and pulley. This design contributes to reduced noise and vibration. The machine also incorporates a built-in heater to automatically heat water to the optimal temperature for selected cycles.

For economic operation, it includes an Intelligent Wash system that detects the size of the load and water temperature, determining the optimum water level and washing time to minimize energy and water consumption. Protection against creases is achieved through alternating rotation of the drum. A Child Lock feature prevents children from pressing any buttons during operation. The Low Noise Speed Control system senses the amount of load and balance, distributing the load evenly to minimize spinning noise. An Auto Restart function allows the program to restart from the stage where it stopped in case of a power failure.
