iNSTRUCTiONS
_To	reduce the risk	of

fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using washer and dryer follow

basic precautions, including the follow- ing:

Prevent Fire

_G]Do not wash or dry

articles that have been previously cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with

gasoline, cleaning solvents, kerosene,

cooking oil, waxes, etc. These sub- stances give off' vapors that could ignite or explode.

[AkWARNINGjDo not put oily or greasy rags or clothing on top of dryer_

These substances give off heat and vapors that could ignite the materials°

_G}Do	not	add gasoline,
dry-cleaning	solvents,	or other flam-

mable or explosive substances to wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

[.&WARNING] To prevent fire, do not use heat to dry articles containing plastic, foam rubber or similarly tex-

tured rubber-like materials, or pillows and clothing with feathersldown

[.&WARNING j Under certain condi_ tions, 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 hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using washer, turn on all hot water faucets and let 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_

I.&g/ARNING 1Clean lint screen before or after each load. The interior of the machine, lint screen housing and ex- haust duct should be cleaned approxi- mately 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 the "Care and Cleaning" sec- tion.

_G]Keep	area	around	ex-
haust opening and surrounding			areas
free from accumulation	of	lint, dust	and
dirt.

_NG) Fluorocarbon aerosol spray fabric softeners are not recom- mended for use in this dryer° Damage
