Type of Loading	Front Loading
This refers to where you can load the washing into the machine. Front loading is when the door is on the front of the machine and top loading is when you put washing in through an opening at the top of the machine. When purchasing a top loading machine, make sure you have enough room to open the hatch (top loading machines cannot be placed under a worktop). When looking for front loading machines, take note of which way the door opens so that you can make sure you have enough room to take washing in and out of the machine.

8kg Wash Capacity, 1400rpm Variable Spin Steam Direct Drive.

Steam Wash
Steam cleans better than water.
How can steam penetrate more effectively then water? It’s surprisingly simple. The molecules of steam are smaller, hotter, and more active. So steam gets between fibres to dissolve dirt, remove odours, and destroy allergens. Steam also takes less time to do a better job, because it reaches higher temperatures more quickly.

Reduces Allergens
Certified to remove allergens.
Steam’s high temperature dissolves the irritants that can harm sensitive skin. The Allergy Care cycle maintains a temperature of 60° Celsius for 10 minutes inside the drum, helping you effectively remove allergens.

Direct Drive
True beauty comes from the inside.
Conventional washing machines use what we call an exterior motor. It’s located outside the drum, with lots of parts to replace, lots of vibration, and lots of noise. But LG Steam is hardly conventional. Because LG Steam’s Direct Drive™ Motor is directly attached to the centre of the MegaDrum.

The New Drum
Each element of the drum works together to clean better.
LG Steam’s ergonomic drum comes in two sizes: big (8kg) and bigger (9kg). A bigger drum improves the quality of your wash. Clothes move with fewer tangles and more churning action.

Reduces Creases
Steam refreshes your clothes in just 20 minutes.
Let’s say you want to go out tonight wearing the same dress or shirt your wore today, but it’s sweaty or creased. No problem. With Steam Refresh, your outfit is ready to wear fast, with fewer creases and odours.

Easy control
Bigger LCD screen. Simpler controls.
LG Steam’s control panel provides you with more information about the status of your wash and shows you all ways the Steam can care for your clothes.

Cycles and Options
Every cycle is a benefit.
Different items – and different people in your home – have different washing needs. That’s why LG Steam gives you more cycles and more options than any other washer in its class.
