22. Hydrogen gas may be produced if the water heater has not been used in more than 2 weeks. This could be explosive under certain circumstances. If this is the case, before using this appliance turn on all the hot faucets and let the hot water run for a few minutes. This will let the trapped hydrogen escape. During this process do not turn on an electric appliance, smoke, light a match/lighter or use a flame to avoid an accident, as hydrogen gas is flammable and can explode.
23. Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

Washing Methods
Laundry Loading
Evenly load the laundry in the washing machine and then tightly close the door of the unit.
Note: 1.When first using the washing machine, let it run unloaded for one
program to prevent the laundry from being stained by oil or dirty water from the washing machine.
2.Do not overload the washing machine.
Put detergent in the dispenser
There are three partitions in the detergent. Partition 1: It is used for the prewash function. Partition 2: Put the detergent in this partition no matter whether the prewash
function is selected or not.
Partition 3: Put the softening agent in this partition if the laundry has gone
through the softening process.
Caution: 1. Do not add liquid detergent into partition 1and 2.
2. For prewashing program, detergent should be added to both partition 1 and 2; for other programs, do not add detergent to partition 1.
3. Do not overuse softening agent as this may damage artifical fabrics.
English
Washing program setting
Set the washing program correctly in accordance with the laundry load. First connect the mains and select the power on/off button. The machine will work on the default standard program. Select the program selection button for the required washing program.
The above operation should be under the condition of no power down. The machine will continue its previous program since the machine has the memory function after the power down. The memory function can be canceled by turning off the power and restart it.

Always unplug your appliance to avoid electric shock before cleaning. Ignoring this warning may result in death or injury. Before using cleaning products, always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions and warnings to avoid personal injury or product damage.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Use only damp cloth for cleaning control panel.
• To avoid any kind of damage to cabinet finish, wipe appliance cabinet as needed. If you spill liquid softener, bleach or detergent on the cabinet, wipe cabinet immediately because it can damage the finish.
• Do not use any abrasive, harsh chemicals, ammonia, chlorine bleach, concentrated detergent or solvents. Some of these chemicals may dissolve, damage and/or discolor your appliance.
• Remove pins or other sharp objects from clothes to prevent scratching interior parts.
• We suggest that you check the button trap no more than twice a year. Do not use washer without button trap in its place.
• The Detergent Dispenser Compartment has a removable option. Over time, this compartment may accumulate dried detergent, dirt and debris. You must remove the dispenser, then rinse it in a sink to remove dirt if present.
Moving & Vacationing

• Disconnect electrical plug.
• Dry inner wash tub. If moving washer, disconnect drain hose.
• Turn the leveling legs clockwise all the way in.
• Reinstall both shipping bolts and metal brackets in the back to prevent internal part from shaking when appliance is moving to another location.
• To prevent mold leave door open so moisture inside machine can evaporate.
Storage of Your Appliance in Cold Environment

Troubleshooting
Washer does not operate:
• Check if unit is plugged in. The plug may have come loose.
• Check if the electrical wall receptacle has proper voltage.
• Check if the circuit breaker needs to be reset or if the fuse needs to be replaced.
• Check if the unit is in “Off” mode.
• Check if the washer is overloaded: load may need to be re-balanced and clothes may need to be redistributed.
• Check if the door is open. You may have to close the door properly.
Problems with water:
• Not enough water coming out: Water faucet may need to be turned on fully. Water hoses may be tangled up or wrinkled up. Straighten up hoses. Check water level selection, it may need to be readjusted.
• Water Temperature is incorrect: Check your water heater temperature. Hot water needs to be at a temperature at least 120˚F–140˚F (49˚C– 60˚C). Check to make sure the inlet hoses are properly connected. (e.g. hot to hot & cold to cold)
• Water leaks: This is due to not improperly installed drain hose or fill hoses. Your home drain may be clogged. You may need to tighten hoses, check the plumbing or call a plumber for service.
• Water pumped out before the cycle is completed: It happens if you open the door in the middle of cycle.

Do not mix heavy clothes such as work clothes with light clothes such as blouses, light shirts and delicate items. You may need to wash them in warm or cold water.
• Have soap residue: detergent may not be dissolving in water. Check water temperature or you need to add detergent as wash tub is being filled with water before you load your clothes to avoid soap residue on the clothes.
• Spots or stains on your clothes: this is due to incorrect use of fabric softener. You may need to read proper instructions on the container and follow proper directions for using the softener.
• Clothes are grayed or yellowed: this is due to not pouring enough detergent for large loads. You may have to add more detergent to the load.
• Clothes are ripped & have holes/excessive wear & tear: this is due to sharp objects such as pins and belt buckles left in pockets. You will need to remove small loose sharp objects. Fasten belts, zippers, metal snaps etc. Check if you are using undiluted bleach. Never add undiluted bleach to wash.
