••If the power cord is damaged or the hole of the socket outlet is loose, do not use the power cord and contact an authorized service centre.

••This appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the appliance, in such a way that a full opening of the appliance door is restricted.

••This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.

••This appliance is equipped with a power cord having an equipmentgrounding conductor and a grounding power plug. The power plug must be plugged into an appropriate socket outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

••Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

••Do not modify the power plug provided with the appliance. If it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Operation

••Do not use a sharp object like drill or pin to press or separate an operation unit.

••Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance. All repairs and servicing must be performed by qualified service personnel

unless specifically recommended in this Owner’s Manual. Use only authorized factory parts.

••Use new hose or hose-set supplied with the appliance. Reusing old hoses can cause a water leak and subsequent property damage.

••Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or agitator is moving.

••Keep the area underneath and around the appliance free of combustible materials such as lint, paper, rags, chemicals, etc.

••Do not put animals, such as pets into the appliance.

••If the drain hose or inlet hose is frozen during winter, use it only after thawing.

••Keep all washing detergents, softener and bleach away from children.

••Do not touch the power plug or the appliance controls with wet hands.

••When pulling out the power plug from an outlet, hold the power plug, not the cable.

••Do not bend the power cable excessively or place a heavy object on it.

••If there is a gas leakage (isobutane, propane, natural gas, etc.), do not touch the appliance or power plug and ventilate the area immediately.

••Do not operate Mini Washer with two or more Mini Washers stacked.

••Before discarding an old appliance, unplug it. Cut off the cable directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse.

••Dispose of all packaging materials (such as plastic bags and styrofoam) away from children. The packaging materials can cause suffocation.

••Remove the door before disposing of or discarding this appliance to avoid the danger of children or small animals getting trapped inside.

Disposal of Your Old Appliance

•• This crossed-out wheeled bin symbol indicates that waste electrical and electronic products (WEEE) should be disposed of separately from the municipal waste stream.

•• Old electrical products can contain hazardous substances so correct disposal of your old appliance will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health. Your old appliance may contain reusable parts that could be used to repair other products, and other valuable materials that can be recycled to conserve limited resources.

•• You can take your appliance either to the shop where you purchased the product, or contact your local government waste office for details of your nearest authorised

WEEE collection point. For the most up to date information for your country please see www.lg.com/global/recycling.
