WASHER SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:
DANGER
WARNING
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic precautions, including the following:
■Read all instructions before using the washer. 
■Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with petrol, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapours that could ignite or explode.
■Do not add petrol, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable, or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapours that could ignite or explode.
■Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using the washing machine, turn on all hot water taps and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
■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 instructions concerning use of the appliance by persons responsible for their safety.
■Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
■Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the door or lid.
■Do not reach into the washer if the drum, tub or agitator is moving.
■Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather.
■Do not tamper with controls.
■Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in this Use and Care Guide.
■See Installation Instructions for earthing requirements.
■If the 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.

WARNING
Fire Hazard
Never place items in the washer that are dampened with petrol or other flammable fluids.
No washer can completely remove oil.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it (including cooking oils).
Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard
Electrically earth this appliance.
Do not use an extension cord or an electrical portable outlet device.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire or electric shock.
1.Measure detergent and pour it into the washer. If desired, add powdered or liquid color safe bleach. Drop a sorted load of clothes loosely into your washer.
■Load evenly to maintain washer balance. Mix large and small items. Items should move easily through the wash water. Overloading can cause poor cleaning.
2.(OPTIONAL) Add liquid chlorine bleach.
NOTE: Follow the manufacturer’s directions for proper use. Undiluted bleach will damage any fabric it touches. The damage appears as rips, holes, tears, or color loss and may not show up until several washings later. To avoid spilling, use a cup with a pouring spout. Do not let bleach splash, drip, or run down into the washer basket. Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Do not guess. Do not use more than the manufacturer’s recommended amount for a full load. Use less with a smaller load size.
