slowly.
Open the faucet 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

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.

MEETING INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Electrical supply and grounding

To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, all wiring and grounding
must be done in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/FNPA, No. 70 Latest
Revision and local codes and ordinances. It is the personal responsibility of the appliance owner
to provide adequate electrical service for this appliance.

Never use an extension cord.
Use only the power cord that comes with your washing machine.

When preparing for installation, ensure that your power supply offers:

• AC 220-240V / 50Hz fuse or circuit breaker

• Individual branch circuit serving only your washing machine

Your washing machine must be grounded. If your washing machine malfunctions or breaks
down, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for
the electric current.
Your washing machine comes with a power cord having a three-prong grounding plug for use in
a properly installed and grounded outlet.

Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.

Improperly connecting the equipment-grounding conductor can result electrical shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are unsure if the washing machine is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the washing machine. If it does not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Water Supply

Your washing machine will fill properly when your water pressure is 50 kPa ~ 800 kPa. Water
pressure less than 50 kPa may cause water valve failure, not allowing the water valve to shut
off completely. Or, it may take the washing machine longer to fill than what the controls allow,
resulting in your washing machine turning off. (A fill-time limit, designed to prevent overflows/
flooding if an internal hose becomes loose, is built into the controls.)

The water taps must be within 120cm of the back of your washing machine for the provided inlet
hoses provided to reach your washing machine.

Most plumbing supply stores sell inlet hoses of various lengths up to 305 cm long.

You can reduce the risk of leaks and water damage by:

• Making water taps easily accessible.

• Turning off taps when the washing machine is not in use.

• Periodically checking for leaks at water inlet hose fittings.
Before using your washing machine for the first time, check all connections at the water

valve and taps for leaks.
