(Save These Instructions)

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your stacked washer and dryer, follow these basic precautions.

W287

1.Read all instructions before using the unit.

2.Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in the INSTALLATION manual for the proper grounding of the unit.

3.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.

4.Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using a washing machine or combination washer-dryer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. The gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

5.Do not allow children to play on or in the unit. Close supervision of children is necessary when the unit is used near children. This is a safety rule for all appliances.

6.Before the unit is removed from service or discarded, remove the doors to the washing and drying compartments.

7.Do not reach into the washer or dryer if the cylinders are revolving.

8.Do not install or store the unit where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.

9.Do not tamper with the controls.

10.Do not repair or replace any part of the unit, 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 carry out.

11.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.

12.Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

13.To reduce the risk of an electric shock or fire, DO NOT use an adapter to connect the unit to the electrical power source.

14.To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT DRY plastics or articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubberlike materials.

15.ALWAYS clean the lint filter after every load. A layer of lint in the filter reduces drying efficiency and prolongs drying time.

16.Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding area free from the accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.

17.The interior of the dryer and the exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.

18.If not installed, operated and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions or if there is damage to or mishandling of this product’s components, use of this product could expose you to substances in the fuel or from fuel combustion which can cause death or serious illness and which are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

19.Washer and dryer will not operate with the loading door open. DO NOT by-pass the door safety switches by permitting the washer or dryer to operate with the doors open. The washer and dryer will stop tumbling when the doors are opened. Do not use the washer or dryer if they do not stop tumbling when the doors are opened or start tumbling without pressing the START mechanisms. Remove the unit from use and call the service person.

20.Do not put articles soiled with vegetable or cooking oil in the washer or dryer. Due to the oil, the fabric may catch on fire by itself.
