YOUR SAFETY IS IMPORTANT TO US

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire,

electric shock, or injury to persons when

using your laundry center, follow basic

precautions, including the following:

• Read all instructions before using

the laundry center.

• 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.

• 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.

• Under certain conditions, hydrogen

gas may be produced in a hot water

system that has not been used for more

than 2 weeks. HYDROGEN GAS IS

EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system

has not been used for more than 2

weeks, turn on all hot water faucets

and let the water flow from each for

several minutes before using the

washing machine. This will release any

accumulated hydrogen gas. Because

the gas is flammable, do not smoke

or use an open flame during this time.

• 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.

• Before the laundry center is removed

from service or discarded, remove the

washer lid and dryer door.

• Do not reach into the washer if the tub

or agitator is moving.

• Do not reach into the dryer if the drum

is moving.

• Do not install or store this laundry

center where it will be exposed to

the weather.

• Do not tamper with controls.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the

laundry center or attempt any servicing

unless specifically recommended in the

Owner's Manual or in published user-

repair instructions that you understand

and have the skills to carry out.

• 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 lint screen before or after each

load.

• Keep area around the exhaust opening

and adjacent surrounding areas free

from the accumulation of lint, dust, and

dirt.

• The interior of the machine and exhaust

vent should be cleaned periodically by

qualified service personnel.
