SAFETY & PRECAUTIONS NS-FWM27W1 39 Do not wash thick, hard mats even if the washer mark is on the care label. This may result in injury or damage to the washer, walls, floor, or clothing due to abnormal vibrations. 40 Do not operate the washer when the detergent dispenser is removed. This may result in electric shock or injury due to water leakage. 41 Do not insert your hand into the detergent dispenser after opening it. This may result in injury because your hand may be caught. 42 Do not place any non-laundry objects, such as shoes, food waste, or animals into the washer. This can cause abnormal vibrations that can damage the washer, and, in the case of pets, cause severe injury or death. 43 Do not press the buttons using sharp objects such as pins, knifes, or fingernails. This may result in electric shock or injury. 44 Do not wash laundry contaminated by oils, creams, or lotions usually found in skin-care shops or massage clinics. This may result in the rubber seal becoming deformed and water leakage. 45 Make sure that the water inlet pipe is connected and the tap is opened before washing clothes. 46 Do not leave metal objects (safety pins, hair pins, and so on) or bleach in the tub for long periods of time. This may cause the tub to rust. • If rust appears on the surface of the tub, apply a neutral cleansing agent to the surface and use a sponge to clean it. Never use a metal brush. 47 Do not use hot water from water cooling/heating devices. This may result in problems with the washer. 48 Do not use natural hand-washing soap in the washer. If it hardens and accumulates inside the washer, it may cause problems with the product, discoloration, rust, or bad odors. 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 Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot-water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot-water system has not been used for such a period, before using the washing machine, turn on all hot-water faucets 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. 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. www.insigniaproducts.com 11
