49 If using a washing net with this machine (not provided), do not wash laundry
items such as bedding in the washing net. Doing so may result in injury due to
abnormal vibrations. Place only smaller items, such as lace socks and lingerie,
in the washing net.
50 Do not use hardened powdered detergent. If it accumulates inside the washer,
it may result in water leakage.
51 Do not wash throw rugs or doormats. Doing so may cause sand to accumulate
inside the washer, resulting in mechanical problems.
52 Do not wash water-resistant or water-repellent clothing. This may result in an
abnormal vibrating and out-of-balance condition that could result in physical
injury, property damage and/or appliance damage.
Grounding/Earthing
1 This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least
resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
2 WARNING: Do not ground the appliance to a gas pipe, plastic water
pipe, or telephone.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a
risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, or problems with the product. Check with
a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
3 Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Choosing a proper location
1 Do not install this appliance near a heater or inflammable material.
2 Do not install this appliance in a humid, oily, or dusty location, or in a location
exposed to direct sunlight or water (rain drops).
3 Do not install this appliance in a location where gas may leak. Failure to do so
may result in electric shock or fire.
4 If the washer is moved to a new location, have it checked and re-installed by a
qualified service technician. Failure to follow this warning may result in
electric shock or fire.
