CAUTION CAUTION SIGNS FOR USING

When the washer is contaminated by a foreign substance such as detergent, dirt, food waste, etc., unplug the power plug and clean the washer using a damp and soft cloth. - Failure to do so may result in discoloration, deformation, damage or rust.

The front glass may be broken by a strong impact. Take care when using the washer. - When the glass is broken, it may result in injury.

After a water supply failure or when reconnecting the water supply hose, open the tap slowly.

Open the tap slowly after a long period of non-use.

-The air pressure in the water supply hose or the water pipe may result in damage to a part or in water leakage.

If a drain error occurs during an operation, check if there is a draining problem.

-If the washer is used when it is fl ooded because of a draining problem, it may result in electric shock or fi re due to electric leakage.

Insert the laundry into the washer completely so that laundry does not get caught in the door.

-If laundry gets caught in the door, it may result in damage to the laundry or the washer, or result in water leakage.

Ensure that the tap is turned off when the washer is not being used.

-Ensure that the screw on the water supply hose connector is properly tightened.

Check if the rubber seal is not contaminated by foreign substances (waste, thread, etc). - If the door is not closed completely, it may result in water leakage.

Open the tap and check if the water supply hose connector is fi rmly tightened and that there is no water leaking before using the product.

-Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system such as your hot water heater that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If your hot water system has not been used for two weeks or more, turn on all hot water taps in your home, and let the water fl ow for several minutes before using your washing machine.
