However, to get the best quality result, it is important to understand which LG mode is suitable for a particular type of fabric. It is also necessary to choose the right temperature and spin so that the clothes do not fade or stretch.

How to choose washing modes in the typewriter LG
After reviewing the description of the modes, it’s time to learn how to install and configure them. Basically, all the panels of ElGi's washers are similar. They can differ only in the presence of a display. In its absence, indicators are installed that allow you to understand which mode is running.
Using the selector, you can select a washing program for each fabric. As shown in the photo below, after selecting a function, the corresponding indicator lights up. The display shows the time until the end, the degree of extraction and the temperature of the water.
Below, under the display, there are buttons. With their help you can:
- Start or stop washing.
- Select spin power.
- Set the temperature from 30 to 95 degrees.
- Enable or disable the machine.
Next to the numbers 1 and 2, a lock is shown on the display. This means that by pressing the keys simultaneously, the panel is locked.
The buttons 3 and 4 on the screen are marked with an asterisk. So you can turn on a single wash for 1 hour and 35 minutes. The key layout can act as a diagnostic function.
Most often, users install only a few programs. The rest are used very rarely. The most popular washing mode in the LG car is considered to be “Quick program” for 30 minutes. Also, "Cotton" and "Washing children's clothing." The Delicate Tissues program is used less frequently.
Other functions may also come in handy over time, so do not lose their notation.
