12 Hydrogen gas is explosive. If the hot water
system has not been used for two weeks or
more, before using a washer, turn on all hot
water faucets and let the water flow from each
for several minutes. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. The gas is
flammable, so do not smoke or use an open
flame during this time.
13 Keep the area underneath and around your
appliance free of combustible materials (lint,
paper, rags, and so on), gasoline, chemicals, and
other flammable vapors and liquids.
14 Do not place items exposed to cooking oil in
your washer. Items contaminated with cooking
oil may contribute to a chemical reaction that
could cause a load to catch fire.
15 This washer is not designed for maritime use or
for mobile installations such as in RVs, aircraft,
and other mobile platforms.
16 Turn off the water faucets and unplug the
washer if the machine is to be left for an
extended period of time, such as during
vacations.
17 Packaging material can be dangerous for
children. There is a risk of suffocation! Keep all
packaging away from children.
18 Always check the inside of the washer for
foreign objects before loading laundry. Keep the
lid closed when not in use.
WARNING
Installation Warnings and Precautions
1 Plug the power cord into an AC 120V/60Hz wall
socket rated at 15 amps or higher. Use the
socket for this washer only. Do not use an
extension cord.
• Sharing a wall socket with another appliance,
using a power strip, or extending the power
cord may result in electric shock or fire.
• Do not use an electric transformer. It may
result in electric shock or fire.
• Make sure that the power voltage, frequency,
and current match the product's
specifications. Failing to do so may result in
electric shock or fire.
2 Remove all foreign substances such as dust or
water from the power plug terminals and
contact points using a dry cloth on a regular
basis.
• Unplug the power plug and clean it with a dry
cloth.
• Failing to do so may result in electric shock or
fire.
3 Plug the power plug into the wall socket in the
right direction so that the cord runs towards the
floor.
• If you plug the power plug into the socket in
the opposite direction, the electric wires
within the cable may be damaged and this
may result in electric shock or fire.
