Using the Appliance Remotely

Remote Start

Use a smartphone to control the appliance remotely. You can also monitor the cycle operation so you know how much time is left in the cycle.

Using Remote Start
  • Put the clothes into the appliance.

  • Touch the Power button.

  • Touch and hold the Refresh button for 3 seconds to enable the remote control function.

  • Start a cycle from the LG ThinQ application on your smartphone.

Note
  • Once the function is enabled, you can only start a cycle from the LG ThinQ smartphone application. If the cycle is not started, the application will wait to start the cycle until it is turned off remotely from the application or this function is disabled.

  • If the door has been opened, you cannot start a cycle remotely.

Disabling Remote Start Manually

When the function is activated, press and hold the Refresh button for 3 seconds.

Download Cycle

You can download new and specialized cycles that are not included in the standard cycles on the appliance.

Appliances that have been successfully connected to a Wi-Fi network can download a variety of specialty cycles specific to the appliance.

Once cycle download is completed in the appliance, the product keeps the downloaded cycle until a new cycle is downloaded.

To operate a downloaded cycle on the appliance, touch the Special Care button on the appliance repeatedly until the Downloaded setting is lit up.

There are a total of 5 downloaded cycles. Only the first cycle can be changed using the LG ThinQ smartphone application. The other 4 preset cycles cannot be changed. See the Cycle Table for details on the preset cycles.
