WASHER SAFETY

Save these instructions
Your safety is important to us. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your washer adhere to the following basic precautions.
Read all instructions before using your washer 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 vapours that can create a fire hazard or explosion. After starting a cycle, do not reach into the spin basket until all motion stops. Do not tamper with the controls. The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. 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 an extension cord set or electrical portable outlet device it should be positioned so it is not subjected to splashing or moisture. Please. Have only a qualified person install, repair, or replace parts on your washer. Maintain your washer properly. Protect your washer from the weather and keep it where the temperature will not fall below freezing. Do not install the washer at a place of extremely high humidity. It could cause an electric shock or a short circuit. Connect your washer to the correct outlet, electrical supply, water supply, and drain supply. Ground your washer properly.
Understanding your responsibilities
Do not use chlorine bleach and ammonia or acid (such as vinegar or rust remover) in the same wash. Hazardous fumes can form. Unplug power supply cord before attempting to service your washer. Do not wash fiberglass materials. Small particles can stick to fabrics washed in following loads and cause skin irritation. Do not use hot water if standard temperature is over 50C (122F). It could cause a deformation of plastic parts. Do not spray water on the control panel and back cover of the washer. It could cause fire or an electric shock. In the case of the dual valve model, if you only connect the cold water inlet valve, if the water temperature is selected as hot or warm, there may be water leakage from the unconnected water inlet valve.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Location of washer

Check the location where the washer will be installed. Make sure you have everything necessary for correct installation. Proper installation is your responsibility.
Do not place or store your washer below 0 C (32F) to avoid any damage from freezing. Install the washer on a horizontal solid floor.
If the washer is installed on an unsuitable floor, it could make considerable noise, vibrate and cause a malfunction. If washer is not level, adjust the front leg(A) up or down for horizontal setting.
Earthed electrical outlet(B) is required within 20cm of bottom back of washer cabinet. Hot and cold water faucets (C) must be within 1m of the upper back of the washer cabinet and provide water pressure 0.3kgf/cm 2-8kgf/cm 2 (2.94N/cm 2-78.4N/cm 2).

Recommended earthing method
For your personal safety, this washer must be earthed. This washer is equipped with a power supply cord (A) having an earthed 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.

INLET HOSE CONNECTION

Be careful not to confuse the hot water inlet and cold water inlet. In using only one water tap or in case of one water inlet valve attached, connect the inlet hose to the cold water inlet valve.

OPERATING YOUR WASHER

To obtain the best washing results, you must operate your washer properly. This section gives you this important information. Preparing clothes for washing
Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other items. Remove pins, buckles, and other hard objects to avoid scratching the washer interior. Empty pockets and turn them inside out. Turn down cuffs and turn synthetic knits out to avoid pilling. Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle. Treat spots and stains. (see "Removing stains" on page14)

Sorting

Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones, even if they would normally be washed together. Separate dark colours from light colours, colourfast items from non-colourfast item.

Loading

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. Loads with only a few small items need 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).

CARING FOR YOUR WASHER

Proper care of your washer can extend its life. This section explains how to care for your washer properly and safely.

Cleaning your washer

Exterior
Wipe up detergent, bleach, and other spills with a soft, damp cloth or sponge as they occur. Occasionally wipe the outside of the washer to keep it looking like new.

Interior

Clean interior with 250ml of chlorine bleach mixed with 500ml of detergent. Run washer through a complete cycle. Repeat process if necessary.
Do not put sharp or metal objects in your washer, they can damage the finish. Check all pockets for pins, clips, coins, bolts, nuts, etc. Do not lay these objects on your washer after emptying pockets.
Winter storage or moving care
Install and store your washer where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage your washer. If storing or moving your washer during freezing weather, freeze proof it.

To freeze proof washer

Turn off water tap. Disconnect and drain water inlet hoses. Run washer on a drain and spin setting (see page 10) for 1 minute. Unplug the power supply cord.

To use washer again

Flush water pipes and hoses. Reconnect water inlet hoses. Turn on water faucet. Reconnect power supply cord.

Non-use or holiday care

Operate your washer only when you are at home. If you will be on holiday or not using your washer for an extended period of time, you should; Unplug the power supply cord or turn off eletrical power to the washer. Turn off the water supply to the washer. This helps avoid accidental flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you are away.

HOW TO CLEAN THE FILTER

Cleaning the Lint Filter
1 Pull the filter frame upward. 2 Turn the lint filter inside out, wash the lint off with water. 3 Return the filter as it was, and insert the filter frame into the slot.

REMOVING STAINS

Stained, heavily-soiled, or greasy items may need to be prewashed or soaked for best results. Soaking helps remove protein-type stains like blood, milk, or grass. Prewashing helps loosen soil before washing.

Stain removal rules

Use warm water for soaking or prewashing stained laundry. Hot water can set stains. Most stains are easier to remove when they are fresh. Before treating any stain, find out what kind of stain it is, how old the stain is, what kind of fabric it is, and if the fabric is colourfast. (Check the care label) Washing and drying can set some stains. Start with cold or warm water. Hot water can set some stains. When bleach is recommended, use a bleach that is safe for the fabric. Put the stained area face down on a paper towel or white cloth. Apply the stain remover to the back of the stain. This forces the stain off fabric instead of through it.
