Safety

This symbol alerts you to hazards such as fire, electrical shock, or other injuries.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer/dryer, follow basic precautions, including the following:

l Read all instructions before using the washer/dryer.

. Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-clean- ing solvents, other flammable, or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

l 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.

l Under certain conditions, hydro- gen 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 washing machine, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

l Do not allow children to play on or in the washer/dryer. Close super- vision of children is necessary when the washer/dryer is used near children.

*Before the washer/dryer is re- moved from service or discarded, remove the doors to the washing/ drying compartments.

l Do not reach into the washer/ dryer if the tub, agitator, or drum is moving.

l Do not install or store the washer/ dryer where it will be exposed to the weather.

l Do not tamper with controls.

l Do not repair or replace any part of the washer/dryer or attempt any servicing unless specifically rec- ommended in this Use and Care Guide or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

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