SAFETY and PRECAUTIONS
40 Do not operate the washer when the detergent dispenser is removed. This may
result in electric shock or injury due to water leakage.
41 Do not insert your hand into the detergent dispenser after opening it. This may
result in injury because your hand may be caught.
42 Do not place any non-laundry objects, such as shoes, food waste, or animals into
the washer. This can cause abnormal vibrations that can damage the washer,
and, in the case of pets, cause severe injury or death.
43 Do not press the buttons using sharp objects such as pins, knifes, or fingernails.
This may result in electric shock or injury.
44 Do not wash laundry contaminated by oils, creams, or lotions usually found in
skin-care shops or massage clinics. This may result in the rubber seal becoming
deformed and water leakage.
45 Do not wash laundry contaminated by gasoline, kerosene, benzene, paint
thinner, alcohol, dry cleaning detergent, or other flammable or explosive
substances. This may result in electric shock, fire, or an explosion.
46 Make sure that the water inlet pipe is connected and the tap is opened before
washing clothes.
47 Do not leave metal objects (safety pins, hair pins, and so on) or bleach in the tub
for long periods of time. This may cause the tub to rust.
• If rust appears on the surface of the tub, apply a neutral cleansing agent to the
surface and use a sponge to clean it. Never use a metal brush.
48 Do not use hot water from water cooling/heating devices. This may result in
problems with the washer.
49 Do not use natural hand-washing soap in the washer. If it hardens and
accumulates inside the washer, it may cause problems with the product,
discoloration, rust, or bad odors.
50 If using a washing net with this machine (not provided), do not wash laundry
items such as bedding in the washing net. Doing so may result in injury due to
abnormal vibrations. Place only smaller items, such as lace socks and lingerie, in
the washing net.
51 Do not use hardened powdered detergent. If it accumulates inside the washer, it
may result in water leakage.
52 Do not wash throw rugs or doormats. Doing so may cause sand to accumulate
inside the washer, resulting in mechanical problems.
Grounding/Earthing
1This appliance must be properly grounded.
2Do not ground the appliance to a gas pipe, plastic water pipe, or telephone line.
• Improper grounding may result in electric shock, fire, explosion, or problems
with the product.
• Never plug the power cord into a socket that is not grounded correctly. Make
sure that the socket you use is grounded in accordance with local and national
codes.
Choosing a Proper Location

2Do not install this appliance in a humid, oily, or dusty location, or in a location

shock or fire.
