IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS)
1. Read all instructions before using the unit.
2. Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in
the INSTALLATION manual for the proper
grounding of the unit.
3. Do not wash or dry articles that have been
previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or
spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or
other flammable or explosive substances as they
give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
4. 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 a
washing machine or combination washer-dryer,
turn on all hot water faucets and let the water
flow from each for several minutes. This will
release any accumulated hydrogen gas. The gas is
flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame
during this time.
5. Do not allow children to play on or in the unit.
Close supervision of children is necessary when
the unit is used near children. This is a safety rule
for all appliances.
6. Before the unit is removed from service or
discarded, remove the doors to the washing and
drying compartments.
7. Do not reach into the washer or dryer if the
cylinders are revolving.
8. Do not install or store the unit where it will be
exposed to water and/or weather.
9. Do not tamper with the controls.
10. Do not repair or replace any part of the unit, or
attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in the User-Maintenance
instructions or in published user-repair
instructions that you understand and have the
skills to carry out.
11. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or
other flammable or explosive substances to the
wash water. These substances give off vapors that
could ignite or explode.
12. Do not use fabric softeners or products to
eliminate static unless recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
13. To reduce the risk of an electric shock or fire, DO
NOT use an adapter to connect the unit to the
electrical power source.
14. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT DRY plastics
or articles containing foam rubber or similarly
textured rubberlike materials.
15. ALWAYS clean the lint filter after every load. A
layer of lint in the filter reduces drying efficiency
and prolongs drying time.
16. Keep area around the exhaust opening and
adjacent surrounding area free from the
accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.
17. The interior of the dryer and the exhaust duct
should be cleaned periodically by qualified
service personnel.
18. If not installed, operated and maintained in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
or if there is damage to or mishandling of this
product’s components, use of this product could
expose you to substances in the fuel or from fuel
combustion which can cause death or serious
illness and which are known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
19. Washer and dryer will not operate with the
loading door open. DO NOT by-pass the door
safety switches by permitting the washer or dryer
to operate with the doors open. The washer and
dryer will stop tumbling when the doors are
opened. Do not use the washer or dryer if they do
not stop tumbling when the doors are opened or
start tumbling without pressing the START
mechanisms. Remove the unit from use and call
the service person.
20. Do not put articles soiled with vegetable or
cooking oil in the washer or dryer. Due to the oil,
the fabric may catch on fire by itself.
21. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT put clothes
which have traces of any flammable substances
such as machine oil, flammable chemicals,
thinner, etc., or anything containing wax or
chemicals such as in mops and cleaning cloths, or
anything dry-cleaned at home with a dry-
cleaning solvent in the dryer.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons when using your dryer,
follow these basic precautions:
