A
GROUNDING INSTRUCTION
Warning: Improper use of the grounding plug can result
in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified
electrician or serviceperson if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or
if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use
only a three wire extension cord that has a three
blade grounding plug, and a three slot receptacle
that will accept the plug on the appliance. The
marked rating of the extension cord should be
equal to or greater than the electrical rating of
the appliance.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

Caution:Ensure that the spin bowl completely stops before opening the inner lid.
If the drainage from the wash-tub and spin-tub occurs simultaneously, the drainage from
spin-tub will be obstructed and there may be a malfunction. Therefore, if you need to drain the
wash-tub while spinning, be sure to drain the wash-tub after at least one minute’s spinning.
Note:The pump motor will operate when the spin dry timer is set,
irrespective of whether the outer lid is closed or opened.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

This arrangement enables spin drying of a previous wash load and washing of a new wash
load to be simultaneously effected.
To do this, set the controls for both "wash" and "spin" modes
(see "to wash" and "spin drying").
