20. This appliance must be connected to proper electrical outlet with the correct

electrical supply.

21. Proper grounding must be ensured to reduce the risk of shock and fire. DO

three-prong electric receptacle outlet in the wall, have a certified electrician

install the proper receptacle. The wall receptacle MUST be properly grounded.

then 2 weeks. This could be explosive and can explode under certain

circumstances. If this is the case, before using this appliance turn on all the hot

faucets and let the hot water run for a few minutes. This will let the trapped

hydrogen escape. During this process do not turn on an electric appliance,

smoke, light a match/lighter or use a flame to avoid an accident, as hydrogen

Understanding Your "Hand Wash"Washer

Hand-Wash System:

The convenient top loading format with no central agitator gives you more usable

space and cleans your clothes gently. The special designed pulsator at the bottom of

the washer creates a cascading motion to gently lift and bounce clothes through a

continuous waterfall. Because of this unique wash motion of the pulsator, you can

wash many delicate washables that you previously might have washed by hand.

Cascading Water Fall:

Series of small water falls moving through the clothes in clockwise direction going

from lower surface to upper surface removing soil and residue from the clothes to

give the best cleaning result.

Omni-Direction Flow:

To give you the optimum cleaning result for your clothes, the pulsator moves in both

clockwise and counter clockwise direction every couple of seconds throughout the

wash cycle. Your clothes are being folded and unfolded during this process to

remove the soil and stain out of your clothes. This gentle, but effective process

protects your clothes from wear and tear.

Pendulum Wash:

The water is being sprayed from the left to right direction during the wash and rinse

cycle to give you the best cleaning results for your clothes.

tub and may damage the tub.

• Pre-treat all stains and heavily soiled areas for best results.

• Do not overload your washer.

•Close the door properly after loading the clothes.

•When loading wet items, keep water level high enough so items can float easily in
