Important safety instructions
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
WARNING
• 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 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

Important safety instructions
■Basic safety precautions
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
WARNING
■Save these instructions
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in
electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the appliance - if it does not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing
a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinance.
• Do not use an adapter this will defeat the grounding plug.
• If you don’t have the proper outlet, consult an electrician.

Important safety instructions
To minimize the risk of fire within the inner bowl, the following should be observed:
■Safety instructions for use
• Items that have been spotted
or soaked with vegetable or
cooking oil constitute a fire
hazard and should not be
placed in a tumble dryer.
Oil-affected items can ignite
spontaneously, especially when
exposed to heat sources such as
in a tumble dryer.
The items become warm,
causing an oxidation reaction in
the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If
the heat cannot escape, the
items can become hot enough to
catch fire. Piling, stacking or
storing oil-affected items can
prevent heat from escaping and
so create a fire hazard. If it is
unavoidable that fabrics that
contain vegetable or cooking oil
or have been contaminated by
hair care products be placed in a
tumble dryer they should first be
washed in hot water with extra
detergent-this will reduce, but not
eliminate, the hazard.
The ‘ ’ cycle of tumble dryers
should be used to reduce the
temperature of the items.
They should not be removed
from the tumble dryer or piled or
stacked while hot.
• Items that have been
previously cleaned in, washed
in, soaked in or spotted with
petrol/gasoline, dry-cleaning
solvents or other flammable or
explosive substances should
not be placed in a tumble
dryer. Highly flammable
substances commonly used in
domestic environments include
acetone, denatured alcohol,
petrol/gasoline, kerosene, spot
removers (some brands),
turpentine, waxes and wax
removers.
• Items containing foam rubber
(also known as latex foam) or
similarly textured rubber like
materials should not be dried
in a tumble dryer on a heat
setting. Foam rubber materials
can, when heated, produce fire
by spontaneous combustion.
• Fabric softeners or similar
products should not be used
during a drying cycle, to
eliminate the effects of static
electricity unless this practice is
specifically recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric
softener or product.
9
Important safety instructions
• Undergarments that contain
metal reinforcements should
not be placed in a tumble
dryer.
Damage to the tumble dryer can
result if metal reinforcements
come loose during drying. When
available a drying rack could be
used for such items.
• Plastic articles such as shower
caps or babies waterproof
napkin covers should not be
placed in a tumble dryer.
• Rubber-backed articles,
clothes fitted with foam rubber
pads, pillows, rubber boots
and rubber-coated tennis
shoes should not be placed in
a tumble dryer.
• The tumble dryer is not to be
used if industrial chemicals have
been used for cleaning.
• Do not dry unwashed items in
the tumble dryer.
• Items that have been soiled with
substances such as cooking oil,
acetone, alcohol, petrol,
kerosene, spot removers,
turpentine, waxes and wax
removers should be washed in
hot water with an extra amount of
detergent before being dried in
the tumble dryer.
• Items such as foam rubber (latex
foam), shower caps, waterproof
textiles, rubber backed articles
and clothes or pillows fitted with
foam rubber pads should not be
dried in the tumble dryer.
• Fabric softeners, or similar
products, should be used as
specified by the fabric softener
instructions.
• Remove all objects from pockets
such as lighters and matches.
• WARNING: Never stop a tumble
dryer before the end of the drying
cycle unless all items are quickly
removed and spread out so that
the heat is dissipated.

■Care before washing
3.Caring before loading
Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first.
Large items should not be more than half the total wash load. Do
not wash single items.
This may cause an out-of-balance load. Add one or two similar
items.
• Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty. Items such
as nails, hair clip, matches, pens, coins and keys can damage
both your washer and your clothes.
• Close zippers, hooks and strings to make sure that these items
don’t snag on other clothes.
• Pre-treat dirt and stains by brushing a little detergent 'dissolved'
in 'water' onto stains to help lift dirt.
• Check the folds of the flexible gasket (gray) and remove any
small articles.
• Check inside of the drum and remove any items from a previous
wash.
• Remove any clothing or items from the flexible gasket to prevent
clothing and gasket damage.
2.Sorting
To get the best results, sort clothes into loads that can be
washed with the same wash cycle.
Different fabrics need to be washed at varying temperatures and
spin speeds.
Always sort dark colours from pale colours and whites. Wash
separately as dye and lint transfer can occur causing
discolouration of white and pale garments. If possible, do not
wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled ones.
• Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light)
Separate clothes according to amount of soil.
• Colour (White, Lights, Darks)
Separate white fabrics from coloured fabrics.
• Lint (Lint producers, Collectors)
Wash lint producers and lint collectors separately.
1.Care Labels
Look for a care label on your clothes.
This will tell you about the fabric content of your garment and
how it should be washed.
