safety information _5

Read all instructions before using the appliance.

As with any equipment using electricity and moving parts, potential hazards exist. To safely operate this appliance, become familiar with its operation and exercise care when using it.

Do not let children (or pets) play on or in your washing machine. The washing machine door does not open easily from the inside, and children may be seriously injured if trapped inside.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons

(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 WARNING years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience

and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.(Europe only)

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

If the plug (power supply cord) is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

This appliance should be positioned to be accessible to the power plug, the water supply tabs and the drain pipes.

For washing machines with ventilation openings in the base, ensure that the opening is not obstructed by carpet or any other obstacles.

Use the new hose-sets and old hose-sets should not be reused.

safety information

To minimize the risk of fi re in a tumble dryer, the following should be observed:

CAUTION Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard and should not be placed in a tumble dryer. Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard. If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent – this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard. The ‘cool down’ cycle of tumble dryers should be used to reduce the temperature of the items. They should not be removed from the tumble dryer or piled or stacked while hot.

Items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with petrol/gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances should not be placed in a tumble dryer. Highly flammable substances commonly used in domestic environments include acetone, denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene, spot removers(some brands), turpentine, waxes and wax removers.

Items containing foam rubber(also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber. Like materials should not be dried in a tumble dryer on a heat setting. Foam rubber materials can, when heated, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.

Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity unless this practice is specifi cally recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

Damage to the tumble dryer can result if metal reinforcements come loose during drying. When available a drying rack could be used for such items.

Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies’ waterproof napkin covers should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

Rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and rubbercoated tennis shoes should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

WARNING

CAUTION

Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer(or washing machine drying mode,etc).

Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, Kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.

Items such as foam rubber(latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the tumble dryer.

Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified by the fabric softener instructions.

The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat(cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.

Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.

If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.

Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

CAUTION CAUTION SIGNS FOR USING

When the washer is contaminated by a foreign substance such as detergent, dirt, food waste, etc., unplug the power plug and clean the washer using a damp and soft cloth.

- Failure to do so may result in discolouration, deformation, damage or rust.

The front glass may be broken by a strong impact. Take care when using the washer.

- When the glass is broken, it may result in injury.

After a water supply failure or when reconnecting the water supply hose, open the Water

Tap slowly.

Open the Water Tap slowly after a long period of non-use.

-The air pressure in the water supply hose or the water pipe may result in damage to a part or in water leakage.

If a drain error occurs during an operation, check if there is a draining problem.

-If the washer is used when it is flooded because of a draining problem, it may result in electric shock or fire due to electric leakage.

Insert the laundry into the washer completely so that laundry does not get caught in the door.

-If laundry gets caught in the door, it may result in damage to the laundry or the washer, or result in water leakage.

Ensure that the Water Tap is turned off when the washer is not being used.

-Ensure that the screw on the water supply hose connector is properly tightened.

-Failure to do so may result in property damage or injury.

Check if the rubber seal is not contaminated by foreign substances (waste, thread, etc). - If the door is not closed completely, it may result in water leakage.

Open the Water Tap and check if the water supply hose connector is firmly tightened and that there is no water leaking before using the product.

-If the screws or the water supply hose connector are loose, it may result in water leakage.

To reduce the risk of fire or explosion:

-Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system such as your hot water heater that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If your hot water system has not been used for two weeks or more, turn on all hot water taps in your home, and let the water flow for several minutes before using your washing machine. This will release any hydrogen gas build–up. Since hydrogen gas is flammable, do not smoke or light an open flame during this time.

Ventilate immediately without touching the power plug if there is a gas leak.

The product you have purchased is designed for domestic use only.

The use for business purposes qualifies as product misuse.

In this case, the product will not be covered by the standard warranty provided by
