Safety Precautions
Read and follow these safety precautions.
WARNING
May cause serious injury or death.
Do not allow children to use on their own.
zThis appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety.
zChildren should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
Observe the following about the power plug and cord.
(To prevent fire or electric shock)
zDo not plug in or unplug the power cord with wet hands.
zDo not hold or pull on the cord when removing the plug from the
socket.
zDo not use a power cord or plug that is damaged. If the power
cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a
hazard.
zUse a socket that satisfies the rating requirement solely for this
appliance. Do not use a plug adaptor or extension cord.
zAlways fully insert the power plug into the socket.
zWipe the power plug periodically with a dry cloth. (Accumulated
dust collects moisture, which may cause insulation failure,
resulting in fire.)
zUnplug the power cord before cleaning.

Safety Precautions
3
WARNING
Never disassemble, repair or modify the appliance
yourself.
zIn case of malfunction or failure (burnt odour smell, fume, etc.),
immediately stop use, unplug the power cord, and ask your
nearest service centre for repair.
Keep away from fire.
Do not put flammable materials or clothes with such
things attached in the tub.
Keep them away from the appliance.
(To prevent explosion or fire)
zFor example: Kerosene, gasoline, benzine/thinner, alcohol, etc.
Do not touch the tub until it completely stops.
(To prevent injury)
zIf the tub does not stop within 15 seconds when the lid
is opened during spin process, switch off the appliance
immediately and call a service person.
Be sure to provide a ground.
(To prevent electric shock if electricity leakage occurs.)
zTo establish a ground, ask a service person to do the grounding
work.
External water heater safety
zUnder certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced
in your hot water heater that has not been used for two
weeks or more. Hydrogen gas can be explosive under these
circumstances. To prevent the possibility of damage or injury,
you should turn on all hot water faucets in your home, and let
the water flow out for several minutes before connecting to your
washer. This will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape.
Since hydrogen gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open
flame or start appliance during this process.
