How to turn on an LG washing machine?

Each washing machine model is characterized by individual characteristics. In principle, there is nothing complicated in using technology. A beginner should carefully study the operating instructions and understand the principle of operation of the device. A person who has already dealt with automatic machines can easily cope with starting a washing machine even from a different brand. To warn users against annoying mistakes, we will look at the basics of equipment control, tell you how to turn on the LG washing machine and activate the desired washing mode.

Initial launch

It is important to start the washing machine correctly the first time after purchase. Before turning on the washing machine, make sure that the communication connections are secure and that there are no transportation bolts inside the case. After checking that the equipment is ready for operation, open the hatch door and load laundry into the drum. Next, press the network key, install the desired program and use the “Start” button.

Many experts recommend initially running the machine “idle” (with an empty drum), this will avoid the appearance of an unpleasant odor from things.

The main task of the user during the first washing process is to make sure that the equipment correctly collects/drains water, does not make any extraneous noise, etc. Please note that if, before starting the wash, you do not close the hatch tightly, the automatic machine will not start working, but will issue corresponding fault code.

After loading the laundry into the drum, you should begin pouring the powder into a special compartment - the dispenser. Pull out the platform and load the required amount of detergent into the appropriate section.Pay attention to the compartments, each of them is designed for a specific composition - powder or conditioner-rinse aid.

The dosage of detergent for washing should not exceed 100 grams recommended by the equipment manufacturer.

So, it is better to do the first wash with washing powder, but with an empty drum. This way, the purchased washing machine will be washed from the inside and will be ready to accept the first batch of laundry for cleaning.

How to install the program?

The initial wash is carried out on any program and without items. Starting from the next start, you need to select the optimal mode for cleaning a particular type of laundry. So, we explained how to turn on the LG washing machine, now it’s worth talking about the procedure for starting the desired mode.

Beginners may be confused by the numerous buttons, confusing symbols, LEDs, and touch sensors. Before using the automatic machine, you should carefully read the user manual, understand what certain symbols on the panel mean, and what the corresponding buttons are responsible for.

The control panel on each washing device model is individual; it is better to first study its functions and capabilities.

Standard algorithm of actions when starting a washing machine:

• connect the equipment to the network;
• open the water supply valve;
• load a batch of pre-sorted laundry into the drum;
• close the hatch door tightly;
• pour washing powder into the dispenser and, if necessary, add rinse aid;
• focusing on the type of loaded items, use the program selector to select the optimal cleaning mode (“Synthetics”, “Cotton”, “Delicates”, “Wool”, “Sportswear”, etc.);
• start the program by clicking the "Start" button.

At the end of the washing process, do not immediately try to open the hatch. The door will unlock a few minutes after the cycle has completed.

Each mode requires different washing parameters: duration, spin speed, water heating temperature, rinse intensity, etc.

How much powder should I pour and where?

Manufacturers of detergents always indicate the required dosage of the composition on the packaging. The amount of powder may vary depending on the type of fabric and the severity of the stain. If you pour the composition in excess of the dose, too much foam is formed, less than the recommended volume - the clothes may not be washed.

A special measuring cup will allow you not to make mistakes with the dosage of the product.

The dispenser of the LG washing machine has three sections: the left one is for the main detergent composition, the central one is for the conditioner-rinse aid, and the right one is loaded with detergent when pre-washing is necessary.

If you're afraid of making a mistake

Operating an automatic machine is not at all as complicated as it might seem at first glance. The main thing is to follow the basic recommendations for using the washing machine. Basic tips for users:
