• 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.

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
