For Your Safety

Save These Instructions

Your washer-dryer has been built in compliance with the strictest international safety regulations. However, for your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

Read all instructions before using any appliance.

•Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, or spotted in gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, other flammable/explosive substances as they emit vapors that could ignite or explode.

•Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the washing/drying compartment.

•Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user- repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to perform.

•Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance.

•Do not add gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, items contaminated with cooking oil or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to weather or in an area where gasoline or other flammables are stored.

•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 appliance, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen.

•Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similar textured rubber-like materials.

•Turn off water faucets to relieve pressure on hoses and valves and to minimize leakage if a break or rupture occurs.

•Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.

•Do not tamper with controls.

•Repair or replacement of a part should be made only by a qualified service technician to prevent personal injury or damage to the machine. Contact Splendide to locate an authorized repair service company near you.

•Disconnect power to the washer at the circuit breaker or fuse box, or unplug the machine in an emergency or when servicing is required. Have the installer show you and label the proper switch or fuse at the electrical disconnect box.

•Good, safe practices and caution MUST be applied when installing, operating, and maintaining any appliance. Follow basic precaution.

•Before loading the washer, make sure the drum is empty.
