CAUTIONS REGARDING USE
Heat
Many parts of this washing machine are made of
plastic; never place hot or burning objects on or
near the washing machine.
Using Hot Water
Use only water under 50C. If the hot water to be
used is 50C or above, first partly fill the washing
machine with cold water, and then add the hot
water.
Articles that shouldn’t be washed or
spun
Don’t put shoes, utensils etc. into the tub to wash
or spin. Doing so could cause trouble.
Putting in the clothes
• Do not overload the washing machine.
• Fold up bulky clothing before putting it into the
tub
• Do not let the clothes cover the top of the
agitator. Doing so could cause a decline in the
washing efficiency.
Water tap
Control the water supply by adjusting the tap
valve If the water pressure is too high, the water
can be sprinkled on the floor
CAUTIONS REGARDING USE
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the
risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. This plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and grounded.
USE A 3 PRONGED PLUG

This appliance is equipped with a “Water
Overflow” safety feature, designed to automatically activate the pump in the event of
accidental water overflow. However, this
feature is only operational while the appliance remains connected to an electrical
source.
IMPORTANT
Improper use of the grounding plug can
result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a
qualified electrician or service person if the
grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded. If it is necessary to use an extension
cord, use only a three wire extension cord
that has a three blade grounding plug, and
a three slot receptacle that will accept the
plug on the appliance. The marked rating of
the extension cord should be equal to or
greater than the electrical rating of the
appliance.
WARNING
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
Place of installation
Choose a place on a horizontal solid floor. If the
machine is installed on an unstable floor, heavy
vibration will result during spin.
Keep the machine body more than 5 cm apart
from the wall surface. If it comes into contact
vibration may occur.
Hose Installation
For your convenience, this washing machine is
equipped with a “Quick Connect” hose kit.
Please follow these instructions:
1. Connect the “faucet adapter” to your water
supply
2. Pressure fit the open end of the hose
assembly at least half way down the “water
inlet” nipple. No clamps are required to secure
this connection because it is not a pressurized
line application.
3. Install the “quick connect” fitting to the faucet
adapter by pulling down the white collar. Pull
down on the white collar to disconnect.
4. For portable applications, avoid disconnecting
the water hose assembly from the “water inlet
nipple” connection. Always disconnect the
hose from the “quick connect” side. A “hanger
hook” is provided on the “quick connect” which
allows you to conveniently hang the hose on
the side of the cabinet.
Installing the drain hose
Install the drain hose properly as shown below.
Secure the drain hose to the drain outlet pipe,
using the clamp provided.
