Important Safety Information

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.

WARNING!	For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed
WARNING!	to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to
	prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

IMPORTANTSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

WARNING : To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic precautions, including the following:

•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, 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.

•Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE! If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using the washing machine, turn on all hot water faucets, and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

•Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near children.

•Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the lid to prevent children from hiding inside.

•Do not reach into the washer if the basket or agitator is moving.

•Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather.

•Do not tamper with controls.

•Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or published user-repair instructions that you understand and have

the skills to carry out.

•See Installation Instructions for grounding requirements.

SAVETHESEINSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDINGINSTRUCTIONS

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 cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Do not use an adapter or otherwise defeat the grounding plug. If you don’t have the proper outlet, consult an electrician.

WARNING : Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Pretreating dirt and stains

Brush a little washing detergent dissolved in water onto stains, collars, and cuffs to help shift dirt. The secret of stain treatment is immediate action.

When an accident happens, plunge the stained area into cold water and sponge it down. This prevents the stain from setting. Wash as soon as possible afterwards.

•Treat stains AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. The longer they are left, the harder it is to remove them.

•Always consider the type of fabric you are treating to make sure you do not use a water temperature that is too hot or a treatment that will alter the color of the fabric.

It pays to pre-wash products and solvents on an inconspicuous part of the garment first.

•Place the garment being treated on an absorbent cloth, such as an old towel.

Work from the reverse side of the stain, as this can force the stain off the fabric instead of through it.

•Use cold or warm water on unknown stains as hot water can set some stains.

•Some stains are not easily seen when the fabric is wet. Air dry the stained garment to be sure the stain has been removed, as heat from a dryer may set the stain.

•Take care with stain removal treatments as they are often flammable and highly poisonous. Do not use them in your washer as they may damage the paint or plastic components.

•Some pretreatment sprays or liquids can damage control panel of your washer.

•Diaper sanitizers are very corrosive to metal surfaces. DO NOT soak diapers in sanitizers in your washer or tip the contents of the diaper bucket into your machine.

Rinse and wring diapers out thoroughly before placing them in your machine.

•Scrape off any excess baby cream, such as Vaseline R, from the diapers before washing and handwash to prevent the cream being transferred to other items in the wash.

emperature

•You can change the water temperature by pressing the WATER TEMP. button. (refer to p10) The temperature of the water impacts the effectiveness of all laundry additives and, therefore, which results in wash performance. We recommend the water temperature as follows :

49~60˚C ; White items, diapers, underclothes, and heavily soiled, colorfast item

29~40˚C ; Most items

18~24˚C ; Lightly soiled items

* When washing in cold water, additional steps may be needed:

- Adjust detergent amount and pre-dissolve detergent in warm water - Pretreat spots and stains

- Soak heavily soiled items

- Use appropriate bleach

Note

•Temperature below 65˚F (18˚C) will not activate laundry additives and may cause lint, residue, poor cleaning, etc. In addition, detergent manufactures and care labels define cold water as 80~85˚F (26~29˚C).

If the temperature of the water in the tub is cold to your hands, the detergent will not be activated and clean effectively.

•We recommend powdered detergent for the detergent box.

•Soap or granulated soap powders should not be used in your washing machine to prevent build-up.

•When washing woolens, remember to use a detergent suitable for washing woolens.

of Detergent

•Follow the directions on the detergent package.

•Using too little detergent is a common cause of performance problems.

•Use more detergent if you have hard water, large loads, greasy or oily soils, or lower water temperature.

•The correct amount of detergent will vary depending on the amount of soil in your clothes. (Jeans and work clothes may need more detergent while bath towels need less.)

•For liquid and concentrated detergent, follow the recommendations of the detergent manufacturer.

Note

To see if you are using the correct amount of detergent, lift the lid of your washer about half-way during the wash. There should be a thin layer of foam over the surface of the water. Lots of foam seems to be good, but it does not contribute to washability. No foam means not enough detergent has been used; soil and lint can settle back on the clothes or the washing machine.

Attention

If excessive detergent is used, the rinse will not be as clean and efficient.

Also, it could cause environmental pollution, so measure and add detergent accordingly.

•Some detergents MUST be fully dissolved before adding to your machine to get the best wash results. Check the instructions on the detergent package.

•If you add powdered detergent to the wash tub directly, it is essential that the required amount be fully dissolved in hot water before being added to warm or hot water for the actual wash. Pre-dissolving detergent in warm water when washing in cold water can improve its performance.

Use of Softener and Bleach

Using Fabric Softener

•Dilute fabric softener with water.

Undiluted fabric softener may result in spots that look like oil stains.

•Measure and add the recommended amount of fabric softener into the compartment marked with this symbol(

Follow manufacturer’s direction. Fabric softener is automatically dispensed in the final rinse.

Softener dispenser ( )

Do not overfill. The dispenser hold max 35mL. Never add more than 35mL.

Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the fabric softener

which could result in stained clothes. A cup with a pouring spout will help you avoid spilling.

•The effect of adding fabric softener may vary according to its viscosity. The stickier fabric softener makes its effect the lower. For a sticky fabric softener it is recommended that it be diluted with water, then be manually put during the time when the washer beeps several times before the final rinse. This function informing correct time to dispense manually is optionally applied to some models. Please keep it in mind that fabric softener has to be diluted with water before dispensed and never poured directly on clothes.

Attention

Do not mix with detergent or bleach.

Never pour fabric softener directly on clothes. It may stain them.

Do not stop the washer during the first spin for timely dispensing.

Option washing is not designed to be used with fabric softener dispenser.

Using Bleach Check fabric care labels for special instructions.
