CAUTION SIGNS FOR USING
When the washer is contaminated by a foreign substance such as detergent, dirt, food
waste, etc., unplug the power plug and clean the washer using a damp and soft cloth.
- Failure to do so may result in discoloration, deformation, damage or rust.
The front glass may be broken by a strong impact. Take care when using the washer.
- When the glass is broken, it may result in injury.
After a water supply failure or when reconnecting the water supply hose, open the faucet
slowly.
Open the faucet slowly after a long period of non-use.
- The air pressure in the water supply hose or the water pipe may result in damage to a
part or in water leakage.
If a drain error occurs during an operation, check if there is a draining problem.
- If the washer is used when it is fl ooded because of a draining problem, it may result in
electric shock or fi re due to electric leakage.
Insert the laundry into the washer completely so that 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 washer,
or result in water leakage.
Ensure that the faucet is turned off when the washer is not being used.
- Ensure that the screw on the water supply hose connector is properly tightened.
- Failure to do so may result in property damage or injury.
Take care that the rubber seal and the 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 leakage.
Open the faucet and check if the water supply hose connector is fi rmly tightened and that
there is no water leaking before using the product.
- If the screws or the water supply hose connector are loose, it may result in water
leakage.
To reduce the risk of fi re or explosion:
- Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system such
as your hot water heater that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN
GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If your hot water system has not been used for two weeks or
more, turn on all hot water taps in your home, and let the water fl ow for several minutes
before using your washing machine. This will release any hydrogen gas build–up. Since
hydrogen gas is fl ammable, do not smoke or light an open fl ame during this time.
Ventilate immediately without touching the power plug if there is a gas leak.
The appliance is designed for home use and used for domestic only.
The use for business purposes qualifi es as product misuse. In this case, the product will not
