Can the pedestal washer and the front-loading washer be run at the same time?

Yes. The pedestal washer is designed to operate simultaneously under LG manufactured front-loading washers produced after 2009. It is not designed for operation under LG top-loading washers, LG dryers, non-LG manufactured appliances, or as a standalone unit. For more information regarding compatibility, visit the LG website at www.lg.com.

How much clothing can be loaded in the pedestal washer?

The drum is designed to hold a maximum of 4 lb. (One thick bath towel weighs about one pound when dry.) Do not overload the washer drum. The clothing should fit loosely into the drum and the lid should close easily.

How much detergent, softener, or bleach should be used per load?

How/when is it added to the machine?

Detergent :

• The pedestal washer requires very little detergent. Most normal loads only require 1 tsp (5 g) of HE detergent. Use a maximum of 2 tsp (10 g) of HE detergent. Do not use a full detergent pod.

• Pour the detergent in the detergent dispenser (some models) or the manual measuring device/dispenser provided with the machine. Place the dispenser in the drum with the clothing before beginning the cycle.

• If the dispenser is missing, place the 1–2 tsp. (5–10 g) of detergent directly into the drum.

• For more information, see Adding Detergent.

Fabric Softener :

• Use 1/4 the amount recommended by the manufacturer for a normal load. Use the dispenser provided with the machine. For instructions, see Adding Fabric Softeners.

Bleach :

• Do not use liquid or powdered bleach to launder items in the pedestal washer. To safely and effectively launder items using bleach, use the front-loading washer.

Can I slide the drawer out while the cycle is running?

No. The drawer locks for safety during operation. Pause the cycle to open the drawer.

What if I want to add an item after I've started the cycle?

Press the Start/Pause button to pause the cycle. After the drawer unlocks, add the item and press Start/Pause to restart the cycle. Wash performance may be affected if the item is added after the first few minutes.
