It could cause fire or an electric shock.

• In case of the dual valve model, if you connect only one water inlet valve the water leakage from

other water inlet valve(unconnected) can occurs.

• This appliance must be grounded.

To avoid electrical shock, use a metal pipe for the ground connection.

WASHER SAFETY

• Flammable fluids (dry-cleaning solvents,

kerosene, gasoline, etc.) should not be

used or stored in or near your washer.

Do not add flammable fluids to your wash

water.These substances give off vapors

that can create a fire hazard or explosion.

• After starting a cycle, do not reach into the

washer until all motions stop.

young children or infirm persons without

supervision.

• 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.

• If the appliance is supplied from a cord

extension set or electrical portable outlet

device it should be positioned so that it is

not subjected to splashing or ingress of

moisture.

Please ...

• Have only a qualified person install, repair,

or replace parts on washer.

• Maintain washer properly.

• Protect washer from the weather and keep

it where the temperature will not fall below

freezing.

• Do not place or store laundry products on top of washer at any times.

• Install the washer on a horizontal solid floor.

If the washer is installed on an unsuitable floor, it could make considerable noise,

vibrate severely and cause a malfunction. If the washer is not level, adjust leg up

or down for horizontal installation.

• Ventilation openings must not be obstructed by carpeting when the washer is

installed on a carpeted floor.

• Leave some space (right & left : 2cm, rear : 10cm).

OPERATING YOUR WASHER

To obtain the best washing results, you must operate your washer properly.

This section gives you this important information.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

• Electrical earth is required on this washer

• If it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet

installed by a qualified electrician.

• Don’t earth to a gas pipe.

• Don’t change the power supply cord plug.

• Check with a qualified electrician if you are not

sure the washer is properly earthed.

For your personal safety, this washer must be earthed.

This washer is equipped with a power supply cord ‘A’ having a earthing plug ‘B’.

To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating

earthing-type wall receptacle ‘C’. If a mating wall receptacle is not available, it is

the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have the proper

earthed wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

WARNING Electrical shock hazard : Failure to follow these instructions could result in death

or serious injury.

Recommended earthing method

• Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid

snagging other items.

Remove pin, buckles, and other hard

objects to avoid scratching the washer

interior.

• Empty pockets and pull them inside out.

• Turn down cuffs and turn synthetic knits

inside out to avoid pilling.

• Tie strings and sashes to avoid tangling.

• Treat spots and stains.

(See “Removing stains” on page 21)

Preparing clothes for washing

• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones, even if they would normally be washed together.

• Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from non-colorfast item.

Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light) Separate clothes according to amount of soil.

Color (White, Lignts, Darks) Separate white clothes from colored clothes.

Lint (Lint producers, Collectors) Wash lint producers and lint collectors separately.

Sorting

• Drop items into washer loosely. Items should move

easily through wash water for best cleaning and

wrinkle-free results.

• Load washer properly and select correct load size

setting.

Overloading and selecting a setting too small for

the wash load can :

- Cause poor cleaning

- Increase wrinkling

- Create excessive lint

- Wear out items faster (because of pilling)

• Mix large and small items in each load. Load evenly

to maintain washer balance.

An unbalanced load can make the washer vibrate

during spin.

• Reduce wash time when using a small load size

setting. Load with only a few small items needs

less wash time.

• Use a large load size setting to reduce wrinkling

with permanent press clothes and some synthetic

knits. These items should have more room to

move in the water than heavy items. (towels, jeans)

1Detergent case 2Adding fabric softener

• If desired, add measured liquid fabric

softener to the softener inlet.

• Pour liquid fabric softener into the

dispenser using the amount

recommended on the package.

• Do not exceed the maximum fill line.

Overfilling can cause early dispensing of

the fabric softener which could stain

clothes.

• Do not open the detergent case when

water is supplied.

• Avoid pouring fabric softener directly on

the clothes.

Adding detergent

Main wash

Pre wash

Fabric softener

• Please use only the powder detergent for the front loader washing machine.

• Please use the proper amount of detergent in conformity with the instruction of the detergent manufacturer.

• A use of a large amount of detergent more than the recommended amount can cause many soapsuds and

overload to the motor. In addition to, this will deteriorate the washing and rinse performance.

• If too much detergent used, it can occur that the detergent directly falls down to the inside cavity. In this

case, remove the detergent case and clean the cavity after washing cycle is finished. (See page 13)
