LG SideKick™ Washer - General Usage

[Narrator]

 

  • LG twin wash is the ultimate laundry system giving you the power to wash 2 loads of laundry at the same time.

  • Begin by sorting your laundry based on fabric type soil level, color, and load size.

  • Open the lid and load the items into the washer. Load should fit loosely in the tub under the maximum fill line.

  • Caution! Loading clothes over the fill line can result in damage to the clothing and the washer.

  • Use the detergent dispenser to measure out the high efficiency detergent. This machine requires very little detergent.

  • For proper wash performance, always use the detergent dispenser.

  • Press down gently on the lid handle until it latches properly.

  • Press the power button to turn on the washer, the normal cycle will be selected by default.

  • Press the cycle selector button to activate a different cycle, more appropriate for your load type.

  • Once you have selected a wash cycle, you can adjust the water temperature and add on an extra rinse if desired.

  • These options are not available for all cycles.

  • Then press the Start/Pause button to begin the wash cycle and slide the drawer close.

  • The drawer will lock and the washer will start the cycle.

  • If the drawer is not pushed in closed within 5 seconds, the display will indicate dE1 error code.

  • To clear the error code, just push the drawer in until it is closed properly to begin the cycle.

  • The time and status display will show the cycle status, and estimated time remaining.

  • Towards the end of the cycle, the repeated chime will sound before the final rinse.

  • When this occurs, pause the Machine and add liquid fabric softener to your load within 3 minutes if desired.

  • When the cycle is finished, a melody will sound.

  • It's best to remove your clothing immediately to reduce any wrinkling.

  • The Child Lock feature disables the controls on your control panel except for the Power ON/OFF button.

  • Use the child lock feature to prevent children from changing cycles and setting options on your washer during operation.

  • To set the Child Lock, select your wash cycle press to Start/Pause button to begin your cycle and close the drawer.

  • Once closed, hold down the extra rinse button for 3 seconds to activate the Child Lock.

  • The letters CL will appear on your display.

  • This indicates that the control panel is now locked.

  • You can also use the Child Lock feature to prevent children from operating the machine while you are away or when the unit is not in use.

  • Set the child lock by powering on the unit and holding down the extra rinse button for 3 seconds to activate the child lock.

  • The power button is the only selectable option when the child lock is activated.

  • You can now turn off the unit.

  • If the washer is turned on at any time while you are away, the Child Lock option will still be active until it is deactivated.

  • When you're ready to use the Machine again, hold down the extra rinse button for 3 seconds to deactivate the Child Lock option.
