WATER HEATER SAFETY

PROPER INSTALLATION

: Failure to comply with the instructions under this

sign may result in major physical injuries or death.

: Failure to comply with the instructions under this sign may result in minor physical injuries or damages to the product.

WARNING

Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two weeks or more. Hydrogen gas can be explosive under these circumstances. If the HOT water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning on all Hot w ater faucets and allowing them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical appliance which is connected to the HOT water system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this process.

CAUTION

The base opening must not be obstructed by carpeting when the washing machine is installed on a carpeted floor.

•

Install or store where it will not be exposed to temperatures below freezing or exposed to the weather.

If the product is exposed to such conditions,electric stock, fire, break down or deformation may occur.

•

Properly ground washer to conform with all governing codes and ordinances. Follow details in Installation Instructions.

If not grounded properly, break down and leakage of electricity may occur, which may cause electric shock.

•

Must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.

If the plug is placed between the wall and the machine, it may get damaged, possibly causing fire or electric shock.

• Make sure the plug is completely pushed into the outlet.

Failure to do so may cause electric shock and fire due to overheating.

• Do not connect ground to a gas pipe.

It can cause explosion.

Care Labels

* Look for acare label on your clothes This will tell you about the fabric content of your g arment

and how it should be washed. Sort clothes into loa ds that can be washed with the same wash cycle, Water Temperature and spin speed.

Sorting

To get the best results, different fabrics need to be washed in different ways.

• SOIL (Heavy, Normal, Light) COLOR (Whites, Lights, Darks)

•

LINT (Lint Producers, Collectors)

•

Lint Produ cers Lint Collectors

Check before Loading

• Check all po ckets to make sure that they are emtpy. Things such as nails, hairclips,, matches, pens, coins, and keys can damage both your washer and your clothes.

• Mend any torn garments or loose buttons. Tears or holes may become larger during washing.

• Remove belts, underwires, etc. to prevent damage to the machine or your clothes.

• Pretreat any dirt and stains.

• Make sure the clothes are washable in water.

• Check the washing instructions.

• Remove tissue in pockets.

Pretreatment on stains or heavy soil

• Pretreat shirt collars and cuffs with a pre-wash product or liquid Detergent when placing them in the washer.

Before washing treat special stains with bar soaps, liquid Detergent or a paste of water and granular Detergent.

• Use a pretreat soil and stain remover.

Treat stains AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. The longer they are left the harder they are to remove.

(For more detail refer to page15)

Do not wash fabrics containing flammable materials (waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.)

Load Size

The WATER LEVELF should just cover the clothes. Adjust the load size accordingly. Loosely load clothes not higher than the top row of holes in the washer tub. To add items after washer has started, press Start button and submerge additional items. Close the lid and press Start button again to restart.

Light and Large-sized clothing

Clothes like downs and woollens are light weight, large and float easily. Use a nylon net and wash them in a small amount of water. If the laundry floats during the wash cycle, it may become damaged. Use dissolved Detergent to prevent the Detergent from clumping.

Long laundry items

Use nylon nets for long, DELICATE items. For laundry with long strings or long length , a net will prevent tangling during washing. Fasten zippers, hook, and strings to make sure that these items don't snag on other clothes.

Nylon net is not supplied by LG.

Separate clothes according to the type and amount of soil. Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics. Separate lint producers and lint collectors.
