Understanding Safety

You will be killed or seriously injured

if you don’t follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured

if you don’t follow instructions.

Your safety and the safety of others is very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your

appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the

word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:

wDANGER

wWARNING

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury,

and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to

persons when using the washer/dryer, follow basic precautions, including

the following:

•Read all instructions before using

the washer/dryer.

•Do not wash or dry articles that

have been previously cleaned

in, washed in, soaked in, or

spotted with gasoline, dry-clean-

ing solvents, other flammable,

or explosive substances as they

give off vapors that could ignite

or explode.

•Do not add gasoline, dry-clean-

ing 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 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.

UNDERSTANDING SAFETY

•Do not allow children to play on

or in the washer/dryer. Close

supervision of children is neces-

sary when the washer/dryer is

used near children.

•Before the washer/dryer is re-

moved from service or discarded,

remove the doors to the washing/

drying compartments.

•Do not reach into the washer/

dryer if the tub, agitator, or drum

is moving.

•Do not install or store the washer/

dryer where it will be exposed to

the weather.

•Do not tamper with controls.

•Do not repair or replace any part

of the washer/dryer or attempt

any servicing unless specifically

recommended in this Use and

Care Guide or in published

user-repair instructions that you

understand and have the skills to

carry out. – SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS –

•Do not use fabric softeners or

products to eliminate static unless

recommended by the manufacturer

of the fabric softener or product.

•Do not use heat to dry articles

containing foam rubber or similarly

textured rubber-like materials.

•Clean dryer lint screen before or

after each load.

•Keep area around the dryer

exhaust opening and adjacent

surrounding areas free from the

accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.

•The interior of the machine and

dryer exhaust vent should be

cleaned periodically by qualified

service personnel.

•See Installation Instructions for

grounding requirements.

Venting

If the washer/dryer is not properly installed

and vented, it will not be covered under the

warranty.

NOTE: Service calls caused by improper

venting will be paid for by the customer,

whether it was a paid installation or self-

installed. For paid installation, call the

company that installed the vent for

adjustment.

1. Do not use plastic vent or flexible metal

foil vent. Use four-inch heavy metal or

flexible metal vent. Do not kink or crush

flexible metal vent. It must be completely

extended to allow adequate exhaust air to

flow. Check vent after installation. Refer

to your Installation Instructions for proper

length requirements of vent.

2. Use a 4" exhaust hood. Smaller hoods

increase drying times.

Checking Your Vent

Your washer/dryer must be properly installed and vented to achieve maximum drying

efficiency. Install your washer/dryer in a well-ventilated room where the temperature is always

above 45°F (7°C). Also make sure that your washer/dryer is leveled. Refer to your Installation

Instructions for more information.

wWARNING

Fire Hazard

Use a heavy metal vent.

Do not use a plastic vent.

Do not use a metal foil vent.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.

3. The exhaust vent can be routed up, down,

left, right, or straight out the back of the

dryer. Space requirements are listed in

your Installation Instructions.

4. Use the straightest path possible when

routing the exhaust vent. Avoid 90° turns,

if possible. Allow room when using elbows

or making turns. Bend vent gradually to

avoid kinking.

5. Use duct tape to seal all joints. Do not

use screws to secure vent. Lint may catch

on screws.

6. Clean exhaust vent periodically, depend-

ing on use, but at least every 2 years, or

when installing your washer/dryer in a

new location.

•Disconnect vent from the washer/dryer

and clean one section at a time until

you reach the exhaust hood.

•Use the hose attachment on your

vacuum, or a pole or wire with a feather

duster or rag attached, to clean out lint.

•Be sure the flapper on the outside end

of vent moves freely.

•When cleaning is complete, be sure

to follow the Installation Instructions

supplied with your washer/dryer for

final product check.

CHECKING YOUR VENT
