Basic safety precautions
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
•
Before installation, check exterior damages. If
it has, do not install.
•
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 the user-maintenance instructions
or published user-repair instructions that you
understand and have the skills to carry out.
•
Keep the area underneath and around your
appliances free of combustible materials such
as lint, paper, rags, chemicals, etc.
•
The appliance is not intended for use by young
children or infirm persons without supervision.
Do not allow children to play on, with, or inside
this or any other appliance.
•
Keep small animals away from the appliance.
•
Do not leave the washer door open.
An open door could entice children to hang on the
door or crawl inside the washer.
•
Never reach into washer while it is moving. Wait
until the drum has completely stopped.
•
The laundry process can reduce the flame retardant
of fabrics.
To avoid such a result, carefully follow
the garment manufacturer’s wash and care
instructions.
•
Do not wash or dry articles that have been
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted
with combustible or explosive substances
(such as wax, oil, paint, gasoline, degreasers,
dry-cleaning solvents, kerosene, etc.) which
may ignite or explode.
Oil may remain in the tub
after a whole cycle resulting in fire during drying.
So, do not load oiled clothes.
•
Do not slam the washer door closed or try to
force the door open when locked.
This could
result in damage to the washer.
•
When the machine runs high temperature, the
front door may be very hot. Don’t touch it.
•
To minimize the possibility of electric shock,
unplug this appliance from the power supply
or disconnect the washer at the household
distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching
off the circuit breaker before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning.
•
When unplugging power cord, do not pull out
by grasping the cord.
Otherwise, the power cord
may be damaged.
•
Never attempt to operate this appliance if it is
damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled,
or has missing or broken parts, including a
damaged cord or plug.
