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 (also known as
latex foam) or similarly textured rubberlike
materials. Foam rubber materials can, when
heated, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
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.
19. Washer and dryer will not operate with the
loading door open. DO NOT bypass 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. Oil-affected
items can ignite spontaneously, especially when
exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer.
The items become warm, creating an oxidation
reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the
heat cannot escape, the items can become hot
enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing
oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping
and so create a fire hazard.
If it is unavoidable that fabrics contain vegetable
or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair
care products be placed in a tumble dryer, they
should first be washed in hot water with extra
detergent – this will reduce, but not eliminate, the
hazard. The “cool down” cycle of tumble dryers
should be used to reduce the temperature of the
items. They should not be removed from the
tumble dryer or piled or stacked while hot.
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.
22. Use your washer only for its intended purpose,
washing clothes.
23. Use the dryer only for its intended purpose,
drying clothes.
24. Always disconnect the electrical power to the
washer and dryer before attempting service to
either unit. Disconnect the power cords by
grasping the plug, not the cord.
25. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
with a special cord or assembly by a suitably
qualified service agent.
