which WILL result in severe
personal injury or death
WARNING
WARNING - Hazards or unsafe
practices which COULD result in
severe personal injury or death
CAUTION
CAUTION - Hazards or unsafe
practices which COULD result in
minor personal injury
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE.
2. Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in,
soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or
explosive substances, as they give o vapors that could ignite or explode.
3. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive
substances to the wash water. These substances give o vapors that could ignite
or explode.
4. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot-water system
that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If
the hot-water system has not been used for such a period, before using a washing
machine, turn on all hot-water faucets and let the water flow from each for several
minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable,
do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
5. Always unplug the washing machine from the power supply before attempting
any service. Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.
6. To reduce the risk of fire, any articles that have traces of any flammable
substance, such as vegetable oil, cooking oil, petroleum based oils or distillates,
waxes, fats, etc., must not be placed in the washing machine. These items may
contain flammable substances that, even after washing, may smoke or catch fire.
7. Never place items in the washer that have been dampened with gasoline or any
combustible or explosive substance. Do not wash or dry anything that has been
soaked in or spotted with any type of oil (including cooking oils). Doing so can
result in fire, explosion, or death.
8. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision is
necessary when the appliance is used near children.
9. Pets and kids may climb into the machine. Check the machine before every
operation.

grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance
for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a three
prong grounding plug for use in a properly installed and grounded outlet. The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: An improperly connected equipment-grounding conductor can
increase the risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman
if you are not sure whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the
plug provided with the appliance. If it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician. To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical
shock or personal injury, all wiring and grounding must be done in accordance with
the National Electrical Code ANSI/FNPA, No.70 Latest Revision and local codes
and ordinances. It is the personal responsibility of the appliance owner to provide
adequate electrical service for this appliance. Never connect the ground wire to
plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.
WARNING: Certain internal parts are intentionally not grounded and may present
a risk of electric shock only during servicing. Service Personnel do not contact the
following parts while the appliance is energized: Electrical Valve, Drain Pump, Door
Lock, Dry Heater, Fan Motor.
WARNING: The maximum current through the unit is 12A when you are using its
heating function. Make sure the power supply system (current, power voltage and
