WASHER SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER?” or “WARNING.”
These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t immediately follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• Read all instructions before using the wasl ****

• Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with petrol, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapours that could ignite or explode.

•  Do not add petrol, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapours that could ignite or explode.

•  Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using the washer, turn on all hot water taps and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

• The appliance must be disconnected from its power source during service and when replacing parts. The power cord plug should be visible at all times once disconnected to verify that power remains removed.

• This appliance is not intended for use by children or by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instructions concerning safe use of the appliance by persons responsible for their safety. Such persons must also understand the possible hazards involved during use.

•  The appliance can be used by children age 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instructions concerning
  safe use of the washer, and if they understand the hazards involved.

• Children of less than 3 years should be kept away unless continuously supervised.

• This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as staff kitchen areas, shops, offices, other working environments, farm houses. It can also be used by clients in hotels, motels, other residential type environments, bed and breakfast type environments, areas for communal use in blocks of flats, or in launderettes.

•  No washer can completely remove oil. Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it (including cooking oils). Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

• It is recommended that fiberglass items not be washed in coin-operated washers. If these items are washed in the washer, run the washer through a complete cycle to rinse away any residue that might be left in the washer.

•  Cleaning and user maintenance by children must be supervised.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

•  Do not allow children to play on, in, or with the washer.
  Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near children.

DIMENSIONS

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

Selecting the proper location for your washer improves performance and minimizes noise and possible washer “walk.” Your washer can be installed in a basement, laundry room, or recessed area. See “Drain System.” Companion appliance location requirements should also be considered.
IMPORTANT: Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather. Do not store or operate the washer in temperatures at or below 0°C (32°F). Some water can remain in the washer and can cause damage in low temperatures. Proper installation is your responsibility.

You will need:

• A water heater set to 49°C (120°F).
• An earthed electrical outlet located within 1.2 m (4 ft) of power cord on back of washer. See “Electrical Requirements.”
• Hot and cold water faucets located within 1.2 m (4 ft) of hot and cold water fill valves on washer, and water pressure of 138 kPa-690 kPa (20 psi-100 psi). A pressure reduction valve should be used in the supply line where inlet pressure entering the building exceeds 690 kPa (100 psi) to avoid damage to the washer mixing valve.
• Single washer installations require 300 mm (12″) minimum risers to provide an air cushion and avoid noise and damage to valves.
• A level floor with maximum slope of 25 mm (1″) under entire washer. Installing on carpet is not recommended.
• Floor must support washer’s total weight (with water and load) of 143 kgs (315 Ibs).
• A floor drain under the bulkhead. Prefabricated bulkheads with electrical outlets, water inlet lines, and drain facilities should be used only where local codes permit.

Recessed Area or Closet Installation
This washer may be installed in a recessed area or closet. The installation dimensions shown are the minimum spaces allowable. Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation and servicing. Companion appliance spacing should be considered.
