IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • Do not continue to use the laundry center if you hear squeaking, grinding, rubbing or other unusual noises. This could be a sign of mechanical breakdown and lead to fire or serious injury. Contact a qualified technician immediately. • Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire, explosion, serious bodily injury and/or damage to the rubber or plastic parts of the laundry center.

As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances. • Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing materials after the laundry center is unpacked.
