●Where an unearthed power cord is not fitted,
be sure that the washer is grounded.

lightning strikes.
●During spinning, don't put your
hand in the spin basket.
Because the spin basket is rotating
at the high speed, rotating parts
may injure your hand.

by carpeting when the washing machine is
installed on a carpeted floor.

use to avoid water pressure damage to the
