Safety Precautions
Precautions about operation
● Do not attempt to repair the washing machine by yourself. Repairs made by inexperi-
enced or unqualified persons may make more serious damage to the washing
machine and cause personal injury.
● Do not repair or replace any part of the washing machine. All repairs and servicing
must be performed by qualified service personnel unless specifically recommended
in this User Manual.
● Use only authorized factory parts.
● Do not touch the power plug with wet hands. Doing so may cause electric shock
hazard.
● Do not unplug the power plug while an operation is in progress. Plugging the power
plug into the wall socket again may cause a spark and result in electric shock or fire.
● Unplug the power plug when the washing machine is not being used for long periods
of time or during a thunder or lightning storm. Otherwise there is a risk of electric
shock or fire.
● Pets and children may climb into the washing machine. Keep children away from the
washing machine while it is in use.
● Do not leave the machine door open. Children may hang on the door or crawl inside
the washing machine, causing damage or injury.
● Never reach into the washing machine while it is operating. Wait until the drum has
completely stopped.
● In case of flood, disconnect the power plug, turn off the water supply faucet, and
contact the after-sales service department. There is a risk of electric shock.
● Do not push down the door excessively when the machine door is open.
● Do not touch the door while the washing machine is operating in high temperature.
● Before you open the door of the washing machine, check if the drum has been
drained. Do not open the door if you can still see water.
● Do not open the washing machine door by force while it is operating (high-tempera-
ture washing/drying/spinning). Otherwise, water flowing out of the washing machine
may cause burns, or injury by causing the floor to be slippery.
In addition, the door cannot be opened for user's safety, and opening the door by
force may result in damage to the product or injury.
● Do not insert your hand or a metal object under the washing machine while it is
operating. Doing so may result in injury.
● Keep your hands away from the hinges when opening or closing the door. There is a
risk of injury by catching your finger in the door.
● Keep the water inlet faucet open when washing or drying. Otherwise, the washing or
drying procedure may not function properly.
● Do not stand on the washing machine or place objects (such as laundry, lighted
candles, lighted cigarettes, dishes, chemicals, metal objects, etc.) on the washing
machine.
Doing so may result in electric shock, fire, problems with the product, or injury.
● Keep all washing detergents, softener and bleach away from children.
● Do not use a strong acid cleanser as a laundry detergent.
