SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Important Safety Instructions
This Owner's Guide provides
general operating instructions
for your laundry center. It also
contains information about
features for several other
models. Your laundry center may
not have every feature included.
Use the laundry center only as
instructed in this Owner's Guide.
Read all instructions before using this laundry center.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using this laundry center, comply with the basic warnings listed below.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
Prevent Fire
Do not wash or dry items that have been previously cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents, kerosene, waxes, etc. Do not store
these items on or near the dryer. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load
to catch fire.
Do not put oily or greasy rags or clothing on top of the laundry center. These substances give off vapors that could ignite the materials.
Do not add gasoline, cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors 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 faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes.
This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas is flammable; do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
To prevent fire, do not use heat to dry items containing plastic, foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials, or items containing feathers or down.
Use Air Fluff (No Heat) only.
Clean the dryer lint screen before or after each load. The interior of the dryer, lint screen housing and exhaust duct should be cleaned approximately every
18 months by qualified service personnel. An excessive amount of lint build-up in these areas could result in inefficient drying and possible fire. See Care and Cleaning.
Do not operate the dryer if the lint screen is blocked, damaged or missing. Fire hazard, overheating and damage to fabrics can occur. If your dryer has a
drying rack, always replace the lint screen when finished using the drying rack.
Keep area around the exhaust opening and surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.
Do not obstruct the flow of ventilating air. Do not stack or place laundry or throw rugs against the front or back of the laundry center.
Do not spray any type of aerosol into, on or near laundry center at any time.
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire, explosion, serious bodily injury and/or damage to the rubber or plastic parts of the laundry center.
Protect Children
Do not allow children to play on or in the laundry center. Close supervision of children is necessary when the laundry center is used near children. As children
grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances.
Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing materials after the laundry center is unpacked. Children might use them for play. Cartons covered with
rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers.
Keep laundry products out of children's reach. To prevent personal injury, observe all warnings on product labels.
Before the laundry center is removed from service or discarded, remove the washer lid and dryer door to prevent accidental entrapment.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
Prevent Injury
To prevent shock hazard and assure stability during operation, the laundry center must be installed and electrically grounded by a qualified service person
in accordance with local codes. Installation instructions are packed in the laundry center for the installer's reference. Refer to INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for detailed
grounding procedures. If the laundry center is moved to a new location, have it checked and reinstalled by a qualified service person.
To prevent personal injury or damage to the laundry center, the electrical power cord of a gas laundry center must be plugged into a properly grounded system.
Never ground the laundry center to a gas pipe. Do not use an extension cord or an adaptor plug.
Follow package directions when using laundry products. Incorrect usage can produce poisonous gas--resulting in serious injury or death.
• Do not combine laundry products for use in 1 load unless specified on the label.
• Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar.
To prevent serious personal injury and damage to the laundry center:
• All repairs and servicing must be performed by an authorized servicer unless specifically recommended in this Owner's Guide. Use only authorized factory parts.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not install or store the laundry center where it will be exposed to the weather.
ALWAYS disconnect the laundry center from the electrical supply before attempting any service or cleaning. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock
or injury.
Do not use any type spray cleanser when cleaning dryer interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could occur.
To prevent injury, do not reach into the washer while parts are moving. Before loading, unloading or adding items, push in the cycle selector knob and
allow the tub to coast to a complete stop before reaching inside.
To prevent injury, do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving. Wait until the dryer has stopped completely before reaching into the drum.
A thermal limiter switch automatically turns off the dryer motor in the unlikely event of an overheated situation (electric dryers only). A service technician must replace the
thermal limiter switch after correcting the fault.
The washer is equipped with an electrical overload protector. The motor will stop if it becomes overheated. The washer will automatically restart after a cool down
period of up to 30 minutes, if the washer has not been manually turned off during this time.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
Do not use or mix liquid chlorine bleach
with other household chemicals such as toilet cleaners,
rust removers, acid or products containing ammonia.
These mixtures can produce dangerous fumes which
can cause serious injury or death.
