Product Information

The High-Efficiency Washer is a modern appliance designed to efficiently clean your laundry. It comes with various settings and options to cater to different washing needs. Please read the important safety instructions in the Owner’s Manual before operating this appliance to ensure safe usage.
It is important to note that the washer should never be used to wash items dampened with gasoline or other flammable fluids, as this can pose a fire hazard. Additionally, the washer may not be able to completely remove oil, so it is advised not to dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it, including cooking oils, as it can result in death, explosion, or fire.
