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 EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS in the INSTALLATION manual for the proper earthing 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.
