28 OPERATION
Steam
Adding this option to a wash cycle helps provide superior
cleaning performance. Using steam gives fabrics the
cleaning benefits of a very hot wash.
• Steam may not be clearly visible during the steam
cycles. This is normal. Too much steam could damage
clothing.
• Do not use steam with delicate fabrics such as wool and
silk, or easily discolored fabrics.
WARNING
• Do not touch the door during steam cycles. The door
surface can become very hot and can cause severe
burns. Allow the door lock to release before opening
the door.
• Do not attempt to override the door lock mechanism or
reach into the washer during a steam cycle. Steam can
cause severe burns.
Fresh Care
Use this function when you will not be able to unload your
clothes immediately after the wash cycle ends.
• The drum will tumble periodically for up to 19 hours to
prevent wrinkles.
1 Turn on the power.
2 Select the desired cycle.
3 Press and hold the Steam button for 3 seconds to
select this function.
4 Press the Start/Pause or Power button at any time
to unload laundry.
Using the Pre-wash Option
This option adds a pre-wash (for about 15 - 17 minutes)
for improved cleaning of heavily soiled or stained
clothing.
NOTE
• If you select Pre-wash after putting the detergent
directly in the drum, the detergent may be washed
away, reducing the washing performance.
Remote Start
Use a smartphone to control your washer remotely.
• For more information, see SMART FUNCTIONS in this
manual.
Delay Wash
Once you have selected the cycle and other settings, press
the Delay Wash button to delay the start of the wash cycle.
• Each press of this button increases the delay time by 1
hour, for up to 19 hours.
• Once the desired delay time is set, press the
Start/Pause button to start the delay time.
NOTE
• If the Start/Pause button is not pressed to begin the
delay time, the washer automatically turns off after a
certain time and all cycle settings are lost.
Wi-Fi
When the washer is connected to a home Wi-Fi
network, the f icon on the control panel is lit. • To
connect the washer to the LG ThinQ application, press
and hold the Delay Wash button for 3 seconds.
Add Item
Use this function to add garments or remove foreign
objects like coins or keys after the cycle has started.
1 Press the Add Item button while the wash cycle is
running.
• The cycle pauses and the door unlocks.
2 Open the door, add garments or remove foreign
objects, and close the door.
3 Press the Start/Pause button to resume the cycle.
The cycle continues automatically.
WARNING
• Do not attempt to force the door to open when locked.
Doing so could result in damage to the appliance,
malfunction, or personal injury.
