SAFETY and PRECAUTIONS

4

Do not force the washer lid open while the washer is operating 
(high-temperature washing, drying, or spinning). 
• Water flowing out of the washer may cause burns or cause the floor to be 

slippery. This may result in injury.

• Forcing the lid open can damage the product or cause injury.

5

Make sure to remove the packaging (sponge, styrofoam) attached to the 
bottom of the washer before using it.

6

Do not insert your hand or a metal object under the washer. This may result in 
injury.

7

Do not attempt to operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, 
partially disassembled, or has missing or broken parts, including a damaged 
cord or plug. This may result in electric shock, fire, or death. 

8

Do not touch the power plug with wet hands. This may result in electric shock.

9

Do not turn the appliance off by unplugging the power plug while the washer 
is in operation. Plugging the power plug into the wall socket again may cause 
a spark and result in electric shock or fire.

10

Keep all packaging material well out of the reach of children, as packaging 
materials can be dangerous to children. If a child places a bag over his or her 
head, he or she may suffocate.

11

Do not let children or infirm persons use this washer unsupervised. Failure to 
do so may result in electric shock, burns, or injury.

12

Do not attempt to repair, disassemble, or modify the appliance yourself.
• Do not use any fuse (such as copper, steel wire, etc.) other than the standard 

fuse.

• If you need to repair or reinstall the appliance, contact your nearest service 

center.

• Failure to do so may result in electric shock, fire, problems with the product, 

or injury.

13

If any foreign substance such as water enters the appliance in any area other 
than the tub, unplug the power plug and contact your nearest service center. 
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or fire.

14

If the water supply hose comes loose from the faucet and floods the 
appliance, unplug the power plug. Failure to do so may result in electric shock 
or fire.

15

Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar. Incorrect 
usage can produce poisonous gas, resulting in serious injury.

16

Do not reach into the washer while parts are moving. Before loading, 
unloading, or adding items, press the 

 

START/PAUSE

 button and allow the 

tub to come to a complete stop before reaching inside. Failure to do so may 
result in electric shock, injury, or fire.

17

Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children 
is necessary when the washer is used near children. As children grow, teach 
them the proper, safe use of all appliances. Failure to do so may result in 
serious injury.

18

Keep laundry products out of reach of children. Observe all warnings on 
product labels and follow them. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.

19

Disconnect this appliance from the power supply before attempting any user 
maintenance. Pressing the 

 

Power

 button does not disconnect this 

appliance from the power supply. Failure to do so may result in electric shock, 
injury, or fire.
