SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not put in, wash or dry articles that have been cleaned in, washed
in, soaked in, or spotted with combustible or explosive substances
(such as waxes, wax removers, oil, paint, gasoline, degreasers,
drycleaning solvents, kerosene, petrol, spot removers, turpentine,
vegetable oil, cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, etc.). Improper use can
cause fire or explosion.
• Do not use or store flammable or combustible substances (ether,
benzene, alcohol, chemical, LPG, combustible spray, insecticide, air
freshener, cosmetics, etc.) near the appliance.
• Never reach into the appliance while it is operating. Wait until the
drum has completely stopped.
• In case of a water leak from the appliance, disconnect the power plug
and contact the LG Electronics customer information centre.
• Turn off water taps to relieve pressure on hoses and valves and to
minimize leakage if a break or rupture should occur. Check the
condition of the fill hoses; they may need replacement after 5 years.
• If there is a gas leakage (isobutane, propane, natural gas, etc.) within
the home, do not touch the appliance or power plug and ventilate the
area immediately.
• If the drain hose or inlet hose is frozen during winter, use it only after
thawing.
• Keep all washing detergents, softener and bleach away from
children.
• Do not touch the power plug or the appliance controls with wet
hands.
• Do not bend the power cable excessively or place a heavy object on it.
• Do not put your hand, foot or anything under the appliance while the
appliance is in operation.
• Avoid touching any water that is drained from the appliance during
the wash.
• Make sure that drainage is working properly. If water is not drained
properly, your floor may get flooded.
