• Do not tamper with the controls.
• Keep the area around/underneath your appliance free from the accumulation of combustible
materials, such as lint, paper, rags, chemicals, etc.
• Keep the floor around your appliance clean and dry to reduce the possibility of slipping.
• Never reach into the washer if the basket or agitator is moving.
Before loading, unloading or adding clothes, press START/PAUSE and wait until the
machine has completely stopped before opening the lid.
• Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used by or near children. Do not
allow children to play inside, or with this appliance or any discarded appliance.
Dispose of discarded appliances and shipping/packing materials properly. Before
discarding a washer, or removing from service, remove the washer lid.
• Do not leave washer lid up during the cycle. This will stop the wash and spin action
and prevent completion of the cycle. To restart, close lid and press START/PAUSE.
• Do not wash or dry articles that have been cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted
with combustable or explosive substances (such as wax, oil, paint, gasoline, degreasers,
dry-cleaning solvents, kerosene, etc.) which may ignite or explode. Do not add these
substances to the wash water. Do not use these substances around your washer and/or
dryer during operation, as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• The laundry process can reduce the flame retardancy of fabrics. To avoid such a
result, the garment manufacture’s care instruction should be followed very carefully.
• Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acid such as vinegar and/or rust remover.
Mixing can produce a toxic gas which may cause death.
• Never climb on or stand on the washer top or lid.
• Do not wash fibreglass articles in your washer. Skin irritation could result from the
remaining particles that may be picked up by clothing during subsequent washer use.
• 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.
• NOTE: Pressing POWER button does NOT disconnect the appliance from the power
supply, even though the lights are out.
• Do not operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled
or has missing or broken parts, including a damaged cord or plug.
• Do not operate this appliance if the lid has been incorrectly fitted.
• If you are using an extension cord or a portable electrical outlet device (eg mulit-
socket outlet box), ensure that it is positioned so that it does not come into contact
with water or moisture.
