IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Save these instructions
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
 Read all instructions before using the appliance.
 DO NOT wash or dry articles that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted
with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as they give
off vapors that could ignite or explode.
 DO NOT add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the
wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
 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, open all hot-water faucets
and allow water flow for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. The
gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
 Always unplug the washing machine from the power supply before attempting any service. Dis-
connect the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.
 To reduce the risk of fire, clothes, cleaning rags, mop heads and the like which 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 flamma-
ble substances which ,even after washing, may smoke or catch fire.
 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.
 DO NOT allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary
when the appliance is used near children.
 Pets and children may climb into the machine. Check the machine before every operation.
 Glass door or protector may be very hot during the operation. Caution should be used when
opening the door of the appliance after the drying cycle to prevent any potential contact with the
hot glass door. Keep children and pets away from the machine during the operation.
 This machine is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are considered
by their legal Parent/Guardian to be capable of safely operating the product and have received
complete instructions on said safe operation.
 Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the machine.
 When children become old enough to operate the appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the
parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe practices by qualified per-
sons.
 DO NOT machine wash fiberglass materials (such as curtains and window coverings that use
fiberglass materials.) Small particles may remain in the washing machine and stick to fabrics in
subsequent wash loads causing skin irritation.
 Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door and cut off the
power cord.
 Always turn the appliance off before opening the door. DO NOT reach into the appliance if the
tub or agitator is moving.

 DO NOT try to repair the machine by yourself. The machine may be damaged or more trouble-
some repair work may be caused and even dangerous operation may take place if it is repaired
by any inexperienced or unqualified person.
 If the plug (power cord) is damaged, have it replaced by the manufacturer or a service agent to
avoid any danger.
 This is a 120v/60Hz appliance. Make sure you connect the power cord to a 120v/60Hz power
source.
 Make sure you only use this appliance on a dedicated 120V electrical circuit that has an ampaci-
ty rating of no less than 15 Amps and has over current protection at no more than 15 Amps.
NEVER DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD WITH WET HANDS!
 Take care that power supply voltage and frequency are identical to those of washing machine.
 DO NOT use any socket with rated current less than that of washing machine. Never pull out
power plug with wet hand.
 To ensure your safety, power cord plug must be inserted into a National Electric Code Compliant
three blade grounded outlet. Check carefully and make sure that your socket is properly and
reliably ground.
 This machine must be repaired only by an authorized service center and only authentic accesso-
ries and service parts can be used.
 An appliance shall be clearly and permanently marked with a warning that the appliance is in-

To avoid fire, electrical shock and other accidents, please remember the follow-
ing:
 Only the voltage indicated on power label can be used. If you are not clear of
the voltage at home, please contact the local power company.
 When you are using the heating function, the maximum current through the
washing machine will reach 12A. Therefore, please make sure the power
supply units (current, voltage and cable) have a minimum circuit ampacity of
15A .
 Protect the power cord properly. Power cord shall be fixed well so that it will
not trip people or be damaged.
 DO NOT connect this machine to:
 A receptacle that is not a National Electrical Code approved device.
 ANY extension cords.
 DO NOT make the wall-mounted socket overloaded or cable extended. Over-
loading of the wiring may cause fire or electrical shock. Do not pull out power
plug with wet hand.
 To ensure your safety, power plug must be inserted into a grounded three-
