YOUR SAFETY IS IMPORTANTTO 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.

•Ur,der 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 2 or more 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.
