These substances give off vapors that could ignite the materials. •Do not add gasoline, cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode. FOR YOUR SAFETY Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. •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 washer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas is flammable; do not smoke or use an open flame during this time. •To prevent fire, do not use heat to dry items containing plastic, foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials, or items containing feathers or down. Use Air Fluff (No Heat) only. •Clean the dryer lint screen before or after each load. The interior of the dryer, lint screen housing and exhaust duct should be cleaned approximately every 18 months by qualified service personnel. An excessive amount of lint build-up in these areas could result in inefficient drying and possible fire. See Care and Cleaning. •Do not operate the dryer if the lint screen is blocked, damaged or missing. Fire hazard, overheating and damage to fabrics can occur. If your dryer has a drying rack, always replace the lint screen when finished using the drying rack. •Keep area around the exhaust opening and surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust and dirt. •Do not obstruct the flow of ventilating air. Do not stack or place laundry or throw rugs against the front or back of the laundry center. •Do not spray any type of aerosol into, on or near laundry center at any time. •Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product. •Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire. •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. Protect Children •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. 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. Children might use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers. •Keep laundry products out of children's reach. To prevent personal injury, observe all warnings on product labels. •Before the laundry center is removed from service or discarded, remove the washer lid and dryer door to prevent accidental entrapment. •Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries. Prevent Injury •To prevent shock hazard and assure stability during operation, the laundry center must be installed and electrically grounded by a qualified service person in accordance with local codes. Installation instructions are packed in the laundry center for the installer's reference. Refer to INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for detailed grounding procedures. If the laundry center is moved to a new location, have it checked and reinstalled by a qualified service person. •To prevent personal injury or damage to the laundry center, the electrical power cord of a gas laundry center must be plugged into a properly grounded system. Never ground the laundry center to a gas pipe. Do not use an extension cord or an adaptor plug. •Follow package directions when using laundry products. Incorrect usage can produce poisonous gas--resulting in serious injury or death. -Do not combine laundry products for use in 1 load unless specified on the label. -Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar. • To prevent serious personal injury and damage to the laundry center: -All repairs and servicing must be performed by an authorized servicer unless specifically recommended in this Owner's Guide. Use only authorized factory parts. - Do not tamper with controls. 3
