Important Safety Instructions

cartons!

•  Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar and/or rust remover when 

washing. This mixture can produce hazardous fume which may cause death.

•  Do not operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or has 

missing or broken parts, including a damaged cord or plug.

•  Store laundry detergents and additives in a cool, dry place out of children’s reach due to danger of 

chemical poisoning and skin irritation. Follow the manufacturers’ instructions when using laundry 

products.

•  Do not machine wash fiberglass materials. Small particles can stick to fabrics washed in following 

cycles and may lead to skin irritation.

•  Do not wash items stained with vegetable oil, cooking oil or petroleum. These items may contain 

some flammable oils after laundering and the fabric may smoke or catch fire by itself.

•  Be sure to unplug the power cable before attempting maintenance or cleaning of your appliance to 

minimize the risk of electric shock. Always unplug the cable by grasping the plug, not the cord.

•  Do not use wet hands when plugging/unplugging the power cable.

•  Check the water inlet and drain hose connections regularly for any leakage. Hoses should be 

replaced every 5 years.

•  Do not leave the washer door open to prevent children hurt themselves by hanging on the door or 

going inside the drum.

•  Be careful when the appliance is draining hot water. Danger of burning!

•  At the end of a washing day, turn off the

 

water faucets to prevent any leakage that may occur due 

to a  faulty condition of the appliance.

•  Check the appliance and inlet hose connections for water leakage after each use. If there is 

leakage, turn off the appliance and water faucets and call service.

•  Do not machine wash items having large or heavy metal parts such as buttons or buckles. These 

items could severely damage the appliance.

•  Always be sure to empty all foreign materials from the pockets of your clothing as small items such 

as coins, pins etc could severely damage the appliance.

•  Do not install and operate the appliance in places exposed to temperatures below freezing. Frozen 

water may cause severe damage by bursting hoses and pump. 

•  Make sure that shipping bolts are removed before you operate the washer. If service is required as 

a result of not removing the bolts, it will not be covered by the warranty.

•  Make sure that the wash drum is empty before you load the washer.

•  Do not store and use any flammable and combustible substances such as lint, paper and 

chemicals near the appliance.

•  Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when you are using a descaling agent. Be sure that 

descaling agent contains rust-protective materials and rinse the washer a few times thoroughly 

after the descaling process

 

(See, Descaling the washer).

•  Install and operate the washer on a solid floor to prevent vibration or movement. It is not 

recommended to install and operate the washer on wooden floor or on a carpet.

•  The rated voltage of your washer is 208/240V, so it should not be directly connected to the mains 

of 110/120V. A special junction box will be provided and used for the mains connection

 (

See, 

Installation Instructions for Grounding Instructions and Requirements).

•  If  an abnormal sound is heard during the washer operation, refer to the “Troubleshooting”

 

of this 

guide.

•  Call service for checking any possible damage or fault if the appliance is dropped or bumped.

•  The end of drain hose should not contact the discharge water in any way as this might cause 

siphoning of water.

•  Always leave the property after checking that the wash cycle is completed and the washer is 

turned off.
