SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Do not reach inside the tub while the machine is working. Wait until all motion stops.

Before washing, check all clothes for loose buttons and tears. Check pockets for coins, pins or other small articles. Close zips and fasteners. Wash small articles inside a pillow slip.

Do not wash clothes soaked in petrol, thinners, vegetable oil or any other flammable liquids. Nor should any of these liquids be added to the wash water as they constitute a fire hazard.

Only use the machine for washing fabrics. Do not attempt to wash plastic leather or fibreglass. Sort and separate clothes by fabric, colour and degree of dirt.

Avoid spraying water on to the control panel and back of the machine.

Do not use detergents which are not specifically designed for top loading automatic washing machines.

Do not allow children to play with or crawl inside the machine. Supervise them closely when the washer is in use.

Always unplug the machine from the wall socket when it requires cleaning or service. Only permit qualified persons to repair or install parts in the washer.

Do not use water which is hotter than 65 degrees Celsius as this may deform plastic parts of the machine.
