LG’s big capacity top-loading washing machines offer strong hygiene benefits

LG Electronics (LG) has announced the release of its
latest big capacity top-loading washing machines,
equipped with powerful heaters that enable warm
washing for hygienic cleaning results.
The hygiene-enhancing capabilities of LG's latest top
loaders are largely due to the high performance
heater. Equipped inside the full stainless steel tub,
the heater increases the water temperature up to 65
degrees Celsius, creating a warm wash for more
effective cleaning. Continue...
With the stain care course, the internal temperature
of the washer is raised to 40 degrees Celsius for
effective stain removal. Meanwhile, the allergy care
course employs 60-degree heat to eliminate allergy-
causing germs and bacteria from clothing.
"We designed these new top-loaders with the
consumers' needs in mind, making sure they
provided greater hygiene and a bigger capacity," said
Mr. Hyunwoo Jung, General Manager, Home
Appliance Division, LG Electronics West Africa
Operations. "With world leading technologies like
the 6 Motion Direct Drive, LG will continue to lead
the global washing machine market and maintain its
efforts to become the global number one brand in the
home appliance market."
Also equipped is an innovative steam function, a first
in the top-loading washing machine industry, which
rapidly increases and maintains the temperature of
the internal tub, further enhancing washing results.
LG's new top loaders are also the only top-loading
washing machines to use the heater to hygienically
clean the washing tub. Used in LG's Tub Clean+, the
heater raises the internal temperature to 60 degrees
Celsius, helping to reduce dirt and germs inside of
the washing machine. Tested by Intertek, LG's Tub
Clean+ course makes it 99.99 percent effective at
sterilizing the washer tub. Furthermore, the full
stainless steel tub results in up to 90 percent less
bacteria growth than a conventional LG plastic
washer tub. It has also been tested by Intertek for its
ability to limit bacteria growth. Intertek is the
leading provider of quality, safety, testing, inspection
and certification.
LG's Inverter Direct Drive motor uses a precise
control system to enable its proprietary 6 Motion
technology to work efficiently. Backed by a 10-year
warranty, the Inverter Direct Drive also provides
quiet, reliable operation. Each wash cycle combines
up to six different wash motions including wave
force, agitating, rubbing, compressing, rotating and
swing to deliver revolutionary washing results while
being very gentle on fabrics.
LG's top-loading washing machines also include the
Jet Spray, which reduces water usage throughout the
course of the rinse cycle. Unlike LG's conventional
rinsing where the entire tub is filled with water first,
the Jet Spray sprays clean water from a valve at the
top of the machine while the tub spins, extracting the
dirty water. The innovative feature helps reduce water
usage by an impressive 27.5 percent and allows LG's
top loaders to complete a wash cycle up to 17.1
percent faster than a normal wash course.
Each top loader comes with an advanced, Touch
LED Display, which consumers can use to easily
select and adjust washing settings, as though using
a smartphone. The highly trendy Black Touch LED
Display on LG's washing machines is also complete
with a simple and sleek design.
LG's top-loading washing machines also offer
innovative and aesthetically pleasing design features
such as the Wide Diamond Glass – the washing
machine's tempered glass door – which not only has
anti-scratch properties, but is also highly resistant to
shock. The Soft Closing Door also prevents the door
from closing unexpectedly on the consumer's fingers
while putting the laundry in and taking it out of the
machine, offering safety, convenience and noise
reduction.
For enhanced consumer convenience, LG's new top
loaders offer bigger capacities, even up to 20kg;
making it possible to wash the bulkiest of items
including large sized duvet covers, helping to reduce
the frequency of washings as consumers can clean
larger laundry loads in one cycle.
Meanwhile, without the need for extra lint filters,
LG's convenient and hygienic Auto Lint Clean
System automatically helps reduce lint from clothing
and bedding; forcing it to the bottom of the washer
where it is expelled at the end of each cycle.
Furthermore, LG's top-loading washers offer Smart
Diagnosis™ which helps customer service
representatives to conveniently and efficiently
troubleshoot mechanical issues, thereby limiting
costly and inconvenient service visits. Consumers
can use the Smart Diagnosis through either a
smartphone or landline.
LG Electronics, a worldwide innovative technology
leader has once more proven its commitment to its
consumers and their evolving needs with this
innovative washing machine that ensures more
hygienic results.

Nigeria approves use of experimental drug, Zmapp, on Ebola patients

The National Health Research Ethics Committee,
Nigeria, has approved the use of an experimental
Ebola drug, Zmapp, for treatment of patients infected
with the virus. The committee, which composed
research scientists, is a national body under the
Federal Ministry of Health.
The endorsement is contained in a statement issued
to newsmen by Prof. Clement Adebamowo,
Chairman of the committee on Wednesday in Abuja.
Continue...
The decision by the committee is coming on the heels
of Tuesday's approval by the World Health
Organisation (WHO) on the use of Zmapp for
treatment of Ebola patients.
"It is ethical to use these treatments in the current
situation without first submitting an application to
National, State or Institutional Health Research
Ethics Committee for prior review and approval.
"In addition, the Committee waives the current
requirement that international shipment of any
biological samples out of Nigeria should be preceded
by the establishment of a Materials Transfer
Agreement.
"This waiver is to promote rapid international
response to this global emergency,'' the statement
said.
In the statement, the Nigerian National Code for
Health Research Ethics emphasised that all
innovative and non-validated treatments should be
carefully and adequately documented.
According to the statement, the documentation can
form the basis for clinical trials of the efficacy and
side effects of the treatment according to established
scientific principles.
In the statement, the ethics committee enjoined all
agencies, development partners and research
scientists to follow the guideline for the rapid
resolution of the current emergency.
"The guideline will contribute to preparedness in
case of future occurrences and contribution to
scientific knowledge.
"It must be noted that all Phase O and Phase I
Clinical Trials that may subsequently be designed for
treatment of this infection can be approved only by
the National Health Research Ethics Committee,'' it
said.
