WARNING - RISK OF FIRE

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using this laundry center, comply with the basic warnings listed below. Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow these Important Safety Instructions:

PREVENT FIRE

•Do not wash or dry items that have been previously cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, clean- ing solvents, kerosene, cooking oils, waxes, etc. Do not store these items on or near the washer. These sub- stances give off vapors or chemical reactions that could ignite or explode.

•Do not put oily or greasy rags or clothing on top of the laundry center. These substances give off vapors that could ignite the materials.

•Do not add gasoline, cleaning solvents, or other flam- mable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

•Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be pro- duced 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 washer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas is flammable; do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

•Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

•Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.

•Do not dry articles containing rubber, plastic or similar ma- terials such as bras, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants, plastic bags and pillows that may melt or burn.

Some rubber materials, when heated, can under certain circumstances produce fire by spontaneous combustion.

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. The dryer must be connected to an outdoors exhaust. Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust opening and remove any accumulation of lint around the opening and in the surrounding area.

•Clean the lint screen before or after each load. The in- terior of the dryer, lint screen housing and exhaust duct should be cleaned approximately 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 Care and Cleaning.

•Do not operate the dryer if the lint screen is blocked, damaged or missing. Fire hazard, overheating and damage to fabrics can occur.

•Do not obstruct the flow of ventilating air. Do not stack or place laundry or throw rugs against the front or back of the dryer.

•Do not spray any type of aerosol into, on or near dryer at any time.

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