•Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or
service personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance
is properly grounded.
•Do not modify the power cord provided with the appliance.
Operation
•Do not use a sharp object like drill or pin to press or separate an
operation unit.
•Keep the area underneath and around the appliance free of
combustible materials such as lint, paper, rags, chemicals, etc.
•Do not put animals, such as pets into the appliance.
•Do not leave the appliance door open. Children may hang on the
door or crawl inside the appliance, causing damage or injury.
•Use new hose or hose-set supplied with the appliance. Reusing
old hoses can cause a water leak and subsequent property
damage.
•Turn off water taps to relieve pressure on hoses and valves and to
minimize leakage if a break or rupture should occur. Check the
condition of the fill hoses; they may need replacement after 5
years.
•Never reach into the appliance while it is operating. Wait until the
drum has completely stopped.
•Do not put in, wash or dry articles that have been cleaned in,
washed in, soaked in, or spotted with combustible or explosive
substances (such as waxes, wax removers, oil, paint, gasoline,
degreasers, drycleaning solvents, kerosene, petrol, spot removers,
turpentine, vegetable oil, cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, etc.).
Improper use can cause fire or explosion.
