Safety & General Precautions

To prevent the risk of danger or material loss or damage to the user of others, make
sure to follow the precautions described below.

WARNING

May cause a serious injury or death.

Never disassemble, repair or remodel this
washing machine.

If you disassemble, repair or
remodel the washing machine
by yourself, it can cause fi re or
irregular action that results in
injury.

Consult your dealer for repair.

Do not place the washing machine on
a damp place such as in a bathroom or
exposed to the outside weather.

There is risk of the insulation
deteriorating, electric
shock and overheating, or
breakdowns due to rust.

Never touch the laundry with your hand
during spin until the tub has completely
stopped spinning.

If you touch the laundry, even if
the tub is rotating slowly, there is
a danger of injury if the laundry
becomes entangled with your hand.
Pay particular attention to protecting
children from such injury.

CAUTION

May cause physical injury or damage other items.

WARNING

When you are cleaning your washing
machine, do not apply water directly to
any part of the washing machine.

It will cause short circuit and
electric shock.

Do not place any burning object including
burning candles or cigarettes, on top or
near the washing machine.

There is a danger of fi re or set
deformation.

Please do not wash or spin laundry which
stained with gasoline, kerosene, benzine,
paint thinner or the likes of it.

There is a risk of
explosion or fi re burn.

Do not use power plug socket or wiring
equipment more than their rated capacity.

When you use the socket or wiring more
than its rated capacity by connecting multiple
appliances, it can cause fi re due to overheating.

Make sure that the ground is attached to
the power supply outlet.

Otherwise, there is a danger of electric shock
at the time of machine trouble or electricity has
leaked.

• Be sure to ask your dealer about
grounding work.

Never disconnect the power plug by
pulling the power cord. Hold the power
plug as you pull it out.

There is a danger of an electric
shock or short circuit which
may cause a fi re.

cause electric shock and fi re due
to overheating.

• Never use a damaged power
cord.

[CONCENTRATED TYPE]
Color transfer and color fading will occur if the detergent directly
in contact with the laundry (for a long time). Please use white
handkerchief, etc. to wrap the detergent before put it into the tub.

How to use powdered detergent

How to dissolve

water level setting, the same water level will be used.)

2. Add the powdered detergent and let the machine run for about 3 minutes.

3. Put the laundry in and begin washing at the desired level. Set the [WATER LEVEL] button.

Dissolving hard-to-dissolve detergent

1. Pour 5 liters of water at about 30°C into a container.

[Warning]

• Powdered detergent is not easily dissolved compared to synthetic detergent, be certain to rinse
thoroughly. If it is not rinsed well laundry may be tinged with yellow or smell of detergent. If too much
detergent is added, or if it is added directly to cold water, scum and clumps which are not completely

Keep condensation from getting on the
fl oor.

• When the air temperature is

high and the water temperature
is low, condensation will
sometimes run off onto the
fl oor.

Do not use a cover made of vinyl chloride.
(It could damage the plastic or paint.)

How to install

Placement

• Do not install the washing machine in any extremely damp place such as a bathroom, or in a place
exposed to the weather. There is a danger of electric shock, fi re, machine trouble and deformation of
machine.

• If machine is installed on the fl oor, be sure that carpet does not block any openings to prevent it from
closing any ventilation openings.

• Do not install the washing machine exposed to direct sunlight (This could cause machine trouble,
deformation and other problem.)

Power cord

• Make sure to push the power plug completely into the socket outlet. If the power plug
is not completely pushed into the outlet, this will cause electric shock and fi re due to
overheating.

Socket outlet

Establish a ground (In case of two-wire power cords)

• When there is a grounding receptacle on power supply
outlet.

• When carbon ground rod (sold separately) is used.

• Do not connect to gas pipe, water pipe, or ground wire
of telephone or lighting rod.

• Reestablish a ground when you change installation
location or move.

• For further information, contact the distributor or service
technician.

Make sure to establish a ground.

There is a risk of electric shock
caused by a leakage of electricity.
