2 Important Safety Instructions

B WARNING

¾¾ To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons while using your appliance follow basic safety precautions, including the following:

•Read all instructions before using the washer.

•Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances (acetone, alcohol, kerosene, some liquid household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers) as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

•Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

•Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot-water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot-water system has not been used for such a period, before using a washing machine, turn on all hot-water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame this time.

•Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children.

•Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door and the power cord / main plug to prevent accidents.

•Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving. Wait until the drum has completely stopped before opening the door.

•Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather and direct sunlight.

•Do not tamper with controls.

•Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

•This appliance must only be used for the purpose of washing, rinsing and spinning machinewashable items using laundry additives that are suitable for use in washers . The appliance manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper or unintended use of the appliance.

•Only detergents, softeners and additives suitable for use in HE (High-efficiency) washers may be used. Always follow the instructions and information given by the laundry detergent manufacturers when using these products.

•Always follow the fabric care instructions of garment manufacturers.

•Do not touch the door glass while washing at high temperatures. Danger of burning!

•Do not sit on top of the washer.

•Do not climb onto the washer.

•Destroy the shipping carton, plastic bag and other packing materials after the washer is unpacked. Keep children away from these packing materials. Danger of suffocation from plastic sheets and

Important Safety Instructions

cartons!

•Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar and/or rust remover when washing. This mixture can produce hazardous fume which may cause death.

•Do not operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or has missing or broken parts, including a damaged cord or plug.

•Store laundry detergents and additives in a cool, dry place out of children’s reach due to danger of chemical poisoning and skin irritation. Follow the manufacturers’ instructions when using laundry products.

•Do not machine wash fiberglass materials. Small particles can stick to fabrics washed in following cycles and may lead to skin irritation.

•Do not wash items stained with vegetable oil, cooking oil or petroleum. These items may contain some flammable oils after laundering and the fabric may smoke or catch fire by itself.

•Be sure to unplug the power cable before attempting maintenance or cleaning of your appliance to minimize the risk of electric shock. Always unplug the cable by grasping the plug, not the cord.

•Do not use wet hands when plugging/unplugging the power cable.

•Check the water inlet and drain hose connections regularly for any leakage. Hoses should be replaced every 5 years.

•Do not leave the washer door open to prevent children hurt themselves by hanging on the door or going inside the drum.

•Be careful when the appliance is draining hot water. Danger of burning!

•At the end of a washing day, turn off the water faucets to prevent any leakage that may occur due to a faulty condition of the appliance.

•Check the appliance and inlet hose connections for water leakage after each use. If there is leakage, turn off the appliance and water faucets and call service.

•Do not machine wash items having large or heavy metal parts such as buttons or buckles. These items could severely damage the appliance.

•Always be sure to empty all foreign materials from the pockets of your clothing as small items such as coins, pins etc could severely damage the appliance.

•Do not install and operate the appliance in places exposed to temperatures below freezing. Frozen water may cause severe damage by bursting hoses and pump.

•Make sure that shipping bolts are removed before you operate the washer. If service is required as a result of not removing the bolts, it will not be covered by the warranty.

•Make sure that the wash drum is empty before you load the washer.

•Do not store and use any flammable and combustible substances such as lint, paper and chemicals near the appliance.

•Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when you are using a descaling agent. Be sure that descaling agent contains rust-protective materials and rinse the washer a few times thoroughly after the descaling process (See, Descaling the washer).

•Install and operate the washer on a solid floor to prevent vibration or movement. It is not recommended to install and operate the washer on wooden floor or on a carpet.

•The rated voltage of your washer is 208/240V, so it should not be directly connected to the mains of 110/120V. A special junction box will be provided and used for the mains connection (See, Installation Instructions for Grounding Instructions and Requirements).

•If an abnormal sound is heard during the washer operation, refer to the “Troubleshooting” of this guide.

•Call service for checking any possible damage or fault if the appliance is dropped or bumped.

•The end of drain hose should not contact the discharge water in any way as this might cause siphoning of water.

•Always leave the property after checking that the wash cycle is completed and the washer is turned off.
