Washing modes and programs in the LG washing machine

LG SM modesToday, the LG automatic washing machine has become so commonplace that rarely does anyone read the instruction manual before using it for the first time. Many may say: why read it, because there is nothing simpler - you load the laundry, set the program and start the wash. But it should be noted that not everything is so simple. In order for the laundry to be washed efficiently, you should set the mode appropriate to the type of fabric, otherwise the result may be very disappointing. Linens may fade or stretch. Therefore, it is better to familiarize yourself with the functionality of your home assistant.

In addition to the main washing modes, LG machines also provide additional programs. They are used quite rarely, but sometimes they can come in handy. They are controlled by buttons from the control panel.

  • Biocare. This function is chosen if it is necessary to clean items stained with wine, blood, chocolate, etc.
  • TrueSteam steam cleansing. In this mode, steam is mixed with water, which helps remove harmful bacteria and allergens. In addition, when using this program, wrinkles are straightened and unpleasant odors disappear. The timer is set for 20 minutes.
  • TurboWash. Quick wash mode (59 minutes). In this case, lightly soiled items are washed and energy is saved.
  • Hypoallergenic.Washing is carried out at 60 degrees. At the same time, things are rinsed a lot, which makes it possible to remove the remains of washing powder and other allergens.
  • Quiet operation. The best option for washing at night, but should not be used to clean heavily soiled items.
  • Sportswear. Most suitable for membrane fabrics.

It is important to note that, if necessary, you can use a function such as resetting the program or canceling. In addition, the functionality of the washing machine has separate spin, rinse and dry modes. There is also a “Load cycle” function. This means that, if desired, the user can download an additional program for his washing machine.

More modern models have touch or electronic panels, and they are controlled using special keys.

Ultra-modern models of LG washing machines allow you to select a program and start washing remotely using a smartphone.
