• 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

• 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.

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.
WARNING
• Before discarding an old machine
unplug it. Render the plug useless.
Cut off the cable directly behind the
appliance to prevent misuse.
• When a product was under water,
Please call service center. There is a
risk of electric shock and fire.
• Appliance connected to the water
mains using new hose-sets. Old hose-
sets should not be reused.
• To reduce the risk of personal injury,
adhere to all industry recommended
safety procedures including the use
of long sleeved gloves and safety
glasses. Failure to follow all of the safety
warnings in this manual could result in
property, personal injury or death.
• Do not push down the door
excessively, when washer door open.
This could topple over the washer.
• This appliance is not intended
for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of
the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.

To minimize the risk of fire in a tumble dryer, the following should be observed:
• 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.
Washed in hot water with extra detergent-this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
The ‘cool down’ 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 was removers.
• Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly testured 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 in a tumble dryer to eliminate the
effects of static electricity unless this practice is specifically recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
• 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, galoshes and
rubber-coated tennis shoes should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

■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 like collars and cuffs 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 item 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.
Water temperature and spin speed and different fabrics need to
be washed in different ways.
Always sort dark colors from pale colors and whites. Wash
separately as dye and lint transfer can occur causing
discolouration of white etc. If possible, do not wash heavily
soiled items with lightly soiled one.
• Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light)
Separate clothes according to amount of soil.
• Color (White, Lights, Darks)
Separate white fabrics from colored 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.
