This may result in injury. 7 Do not attempt to operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or has missing or broken parts, including a damaged cord or plug. This may result in electric shock, fire, or death. 8 Do not touch the power plug with wet hands. This may result in electric shock. 9 Do not turn the appliance off by unplugging the power plug while the washer is in operation. Plugging the power plug into the wall socket again may cause a spark and result in electric shock or fire. 10 Keep all packaging material well out of the reach of children, as packaging materials can be dangerous to children. If a child places a bag over his or her head, he or she may suffocate. 11 Do not let children or infirm persons use this washer unsupervised. Failure to do so may result in electric shock, burns, or injury. 12 Do not attempt to repair, disassemble, or modify the appliance yourself. • Do not use any fuse (such as copper, steel wire, etc.) other than the standard fuse. • If you need to repair or reinstall the appliance, contact your nearest service center. • Failure to do so may result in electric shock, fire, problems with the product, or injury. 13 If any foreign substance such as water enters the appliance in any area other than the tub, unplug the power plug and contact your nearest service center. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or fire. 14 If the water supply hose comes loose from the faucet and floods the appliance, unplug the power plug. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or fire. 15 Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar. Incorrect usage can produce poisonous gas, resulting in serious injury. 16 Do not reach into the washer while parts are moving. Before loading, unloading, or adding items, press the START/PAUSE button and allow the tub to come to a complete stop before reaching inside. Failure to do so may result in electric shock, injury, or fire. 17 Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near children. As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances. Failure to do so may result in serious injury. 18 Keep laundry products out of reach of children. Observe all warnings on product labels and follow them. Failure to do so may result in serious injury. 19 Disconnect this appliance from the power supply before attempting any user maintenance. Pressing the Power button does not disconnect this appliance from the power supply. Failure to do so may result in electric shock, injury, or fire. 20 Do not clean the appliance by spraying water directly onto it. 21 Do not use benzene, thinner, or alcohol to clean the appliance. This may result in discoloration, deformation, damage, electric shock, or fire. 22 Unplug the power plug when the appliance is not being used for long periods of time or during a thunder/lightning storm.

If the clear portion is cracked or broken, it may result in injury. 26 After a water supply failure or when reconnecting the water supply hose, open the faucet slowly. 27 Open the faucet slowly after a long period of non-use. The air pressure in the water supply hose or the water pipe may result in damage to a part or in water leakage. 28 If a drain error occurs during an operation, check if there is a draining problem. If the washer is used when it is flooded because of a draining problem, it may result in electric shock or fire due to an electrical short circuit. Do not insert your hand or a metal object under the washer. This may result in injury. 29 Insert laundry into the washer completely so that the laundry does not get caught in the lid. If laundry gets caught in the lid, it may result in damage to the laundry or the washer, or result in water leakage. 30 Make sure that the faucet is turned off when the washer is not being used. 31 Make sure that the water supply hose connectors are properly tightened. Failure to do so may result in property damage or injury. 32 Open the faucet and check if the water supply hose connector is firmly tightened and that there is no water leaking before using the product. If the water supply hose connectors are loose, it may result in water leakage. 33 Do not stand on top of the appliance or place objects (such as laundry, lighted candles, lighted cigarettes, dishes, chemicals, metal objects, etc.) on the appliance.
