Safety precautions
Precautions about installation
● Never attempt to operate the washing machine if it is damaged, malfunctioning,
partially disassembled, or has missing or broken parts, including a damaged cord or
plug.
●The installation of the washing machine must be performed by a qualified technician
or service company.
−Failure to do so may result in electric shock, fire, an explosion, problems with the
product, or injury.
● Periodically check the water supply hose for expansion, kink, breakage, tear, and
water leak. Replace the hose promptly if there is any abnormality.
● Do not store or install the washing machine in unsuitable places such as:
−Damp places (such as a bathroom)
−Oily or dusty places
−Places subject to weathering conditions (such as direct sunlight, wind, rain, or
temperature below freezing)
● Do not use an electric transformer.
−This may result in electric shock or fire.
●This washing machine must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or
a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the washing machine, in such a
way that a full opening of the door of washing machine is restricted.
● Plug the power cord firmly into a professional AC power outlet with voltage of
AC 220V-240V, frequency of 50 Hz. If connected to an inappropriate power source,
electric shock or fire may result.
● Ensure that the power plug is plugged into an appropriate socket outlet and ground-
ed in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
● Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you are in
doubt as to whether the washing machine is properly grounded.
● Do not modify the plug attached to the washing machine. If the plug cannot match
the socket, a suited one should be installed by the manufacturer, product and service
agent or qualified person.
● Plug the power plug into the wall socket so that the cord is running towards the floor.
If you plug the power plug into the socket in the opposite direction, the electric wires
within the cable may be damaged and this may result in electric shock or fire.
● Do not allow the washing machine to contact or be close to any heat source (such as
heater, mosquito coil, candle, cigarette, hair dryer, etc.) or inflammable material.
●This washing machine is equipped with a power cord having a grounding function.
Use them to ensure that the machine is grounded properly. In the event of malfunction
or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of
least resistance for electric current.

Safety precautions
● Do not use gasoline, alcohol, dry cleanser or other flammable or explosive substanc-
es as a laundry detergent.
● Use household detergents which are available on the market and applicable to
machine wash only.
● Make sure that the pockets of all clothing to be washed are empty. Hard, sharp
objects such as coins, safety pins, nails, screws, or stones can cause extensive
damage to the washing machine.
● Do not wash the clothing with hasp or other heavy metals.
● Do not wash the clothing soaked in or stained with gasoline or other flammable,
explosive or toxic substances. There is a risk of fire or explosion.
Wash the clothing aforesaid manually in hot water and an extra amount of detergent
first, and ensure that all those liquid, solid and particle traces are removed before
putting it into the washing machine. Hazardous substances include acetone, alcohol,
gasoline, kerosene, certain liquid household cleanser and detergent, turpentine, wax,
and wax remover.
● Do not wash or spin any items other than normal chothes or sheets, namely as
follows:
−Rugs, mats, pet blankets, woolen bedding, sleeping bags
−Thick clothings such as fishing vests, ski pants, diaper covers, or sweat suits
−Waterproof sheets such as rain covers or car covers
● Do not wash thick or hard mats even if the washing machine mark is on the care
label. This may result in injury or damage to the washing machine, walls, floor, or
clothing due to abnormal vibrations.
● Do not wash throw rugs or doormats with rubber backing. The rubber backing may
come off and stick to inside the drum, and this may result in malfunction such as a
drainage error.
● Insert the laundry into the washing machine completely so that the laundry does not
get caught in the door. If laundry gets caught in the door, it may result in damage to
the laundry or the washing machine, or result in a water leak.
● Ensure that the rubber seal and front door glass are not contaminated by a foreign
substance (e.g. waste, thread, hair, etc.). If a foreign substance is caught in the door
or the door is not completely closed, it may cause a water leak.
● Do not wash large laundry items such as bedding in the washing net. There is a risk
of injury due to abnormal vibrations.
