Cleaning the Lint Filter

The filter is an important part for an efficient washing performance result, so take a special care. Clean the filter regularly.

  • Clean the lint filter after at least 2 - 3 washes.

  • Squeeze the side tabs and lift out the filter.

  • Open the cap and remove any lint before washing it.

  • Wash the filter with a soft brush.

  • Insert the lower part of the filter into the drum and close the cap until you hear a click sound.

Caution
  • Do not leave iron objects (such as clothes pins, hairpins, etc.) in the lint filter as they promote rust.

  • Do not leave the lint filter loosely or poorly fitted. Doing so may damage the fabrics or the washing machine.

  • Do not operate the washing machine without the lint filter.

Note
  • When the lint filter is damaged, contact an LG service centre.
