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 transforme r.
− 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 drye r , 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.
