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.
