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: ■ 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. ■ 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. ■ 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. ■ 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 dryer exhaust vent should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel. ■ See "Electrical Requirements" section of the Installation Instructions booklet for grounding instructions.
