Safety Precautions
● Do not use gasoline, alcohol, dry cleanser or other flammable or explosive substanc-
es as a laundry detergent.
● Use household detergents which are available on the market and applicable to
machine wash only.
● Make sure that the pockets of all clothing to be washed are empty. Hard, sharp
objects such as coins, safety pins, nails, screws, or stones can cause extensive
damage to the washing machine.
● Do not wash the clothing with hasp or other heavy metals.
● Do not wash the clothing soaked in or stained with gasoline or other flammable,
explosive or toxic substances. There is a risk of fire or explosion.
Wash the clothing aforesaid manually in hot water and an extra amount of detergent
first, and ensure that all those liquid, solid and particle traces are removed before
putting it into the washing machine. Hazardous substances include acetone, alcohol,
gasoline, kerosene, certain liquid household cleanser and detergent, turpentine, wax,
and wax remover.
● Do not wash, spin, or dry any items other than normal chothes or sheets, namely as
follows:
− Rugs, mats, pet blankets, woolen bedding, sleeping bags
− Thick clothings such as fishing vests, ski pants, diaper covers, or sweat suits
− Waterproof sheets such as rain covers or car covers
● Do not wash thick or hard mats even if the washing machine mark is on the care
label. This may result in injury or damage to the washing machine, walls, floor, or
clothing due to abnormal vibrations.
● Do not wash throw rugs or doormats with rubber backing. The rubber backing may
come off and stick to inside the drum, and this may result in malfunction such as a
drainage error.
● Insert the laundry into the washing machine completely so that the 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 washing machine, or result in a water leak.
● Ensure that the rubber seal and front door glass are not contaminated by a foreign
substance (e.g. waste, thread, hair, etc.). If a foreign substance is caught in the door
or the door is not completely closed, it may cause a water leak.
● Do not wash large laundry items such as bedding in the washing net. There is a risk
of injury due to abnormal vibrations.
