S afety Information
Read carefully and thoroughly go through this booklet as it contains important safety information
that will protect the user from unexpected dangers and prevent potential damages to the product.
WATER WARNING
HEATER
SAFETY
Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been
used for two weeks or more. Hydrogen gas can be explosive under these circumstances.
If the HOT water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of
damage or injury by turning on all Hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several
minutes. Do this before using any electrical appliance which is connected to the HOT
water system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since
the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this process.
PROPER
INSTALLATION
CAUTION
• The base opening must not be obstructed by carpeting when the washing machine is installed
on a carpeted floor.
• Install or store where it will not be exposed to temperature below freezing or exposed to the
weather (Rain/Water Splash/ Direct Sunlight).
If the product is exposed to such conditions, electric shock, fire, break down or deformation may occur.
• Properly ground washer to confirm with all governing codes and ordinances. Follow details in
Installation Instructions.
If not grounded properly, break down and leakage of electricity may occur, which may cause electric
shock.
• Machine must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.
If the plug is placed between the wall and the machine, it may get damaged, possibly causing fire or
electric shock.
• Make sure the plug is completely pushed into the outlet.
Failure to do so may cause electric shock and fire due to overheating.
• Do not connect ground to a gas pipe.
It can cause explosion.
• Do not connect ground to telephone wires or lightning rods.
This may be dangerous during electrical storms.
• Washer shall be placed in dry areas specifically during rainy season.
Humid conditions may cause rusting which may result in product failure.

Gentle (Wool/Saree)
Delicate clothes (lingerie, woolens, saree, etc.) which may be easily damaged can be washed. (refer to page 19)
The machine washable woolens or saree are specifically made to prevent damage during machine-washing.
Most hand-knitted garments are not machine washable, so recommend you to hand wash them.
• For the washing instruction, check the clothing label before wash.
• A neutral detergent is recommended for the woolens or saree.
• Do not use a tumble dryer to prevent damage.
• To avoid direct sunlight, cover up the clothes with towels during natural dry.
Some woolens or sweater may clog a drain hose by their lint, so recommend you to use spin only after hand-wash them.

Preparation Before Washing
Care Labels
Look for a care label on your clothes. This will tell you about the fabric content of your garment and how it
should be washed.
Sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle, Water Temperature and spin speed.
Sorting
To get the best results, different fabrics need to be washed in different ways.
• SOIL (Heavy, Normal, Light) Separate clothes according to th e type and amount of soil.
• COLOR (Whites, Lights, Darks) Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.
• LINT (Lint Producers, Collectors) Separate lint producers and lint collectors.
Lint Producers Terry cloth, Towels, Nappies, Diapers
Lint Collectors Synthetics, Socks
Check before Loading
• Check all pockets to make sure that they are emtpy. Things such as nails, hairclips, matches,
pens, coins, and keys can damage both your washer and your clothes.
• Mend any torn garments or loose buttons. Tears or holes may become larger during washing.
• Remove belts, underwires, etc. to prevent damage to the machine or your clothes.
• Pretreat any dirt and stains. WIRE

U se of Water, Detergent, Bleach and Softener
Using Water
Amount of WATER LEVEL
• This machine detects the quantity of laundry
automatically, then set the WATER LEVEL
• When you select a wash program, the WATER
LEVEL will be shown on the control panel.
• The following table shows the amount of water level.
• When the WATER LEVEL is automatically detected,
it may differ depending on the quantity of laundry
even though the same WATER LEVEL is indicated on the control panel.
NOTE
[Minimum water amount]
It depends on laundry load and washer mode. Or manually you can pour a certain amount water into tub directly to some
height. That's because if water level reaches to the some height sensed by washer itself, washer automatically operates. In
other words, it is needed to pour water to the point when washer start operating.
NOTE
If iron is present in the water the clothes may become an all-over yellow or they may be stained with brown or orange
spots or streaks. Iron is not always visible. Installation of water softener or an iron filter may be necessary for severe cases.
• When washing in COLD water additional steps may be needed;
• Adjust Detergent amount and pre-dissolve Detergent in WARM water
• Pre-treat spot and stains
• Soak heavily soiled items
• Use appropriate bleach
* Temperature below 18°C... (65°F) will not activate laundry additives and may cause lint, residue, poor
cleaning etc.
In addition, Detergent manufactures and care labels is define COLD water as 26-29°C... (80-85°F).
If the temperature of the water in the tub is too cold for your hands, the Detergent will not activate and
clean effectively.
Using Detergent
Detergent
Follow the Detergent package directions. Using too little Detergent is a common cause of laundry problems.
Use more Detergent if you have hard water, large loads, greasy or oily soils or lower Water Temperature.
Choosing the right Detergent
We recommend the use of domestic Detergent, (powder, liquid or concentrated). Soap flakes or granulated
soap powders should not be used in your washing machine. When washing woolens remember to use
Detergent suitable for washing woolens.
