IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: This manual does not cover every possible
condition and situation that may occur. Use
common sense and caution when
installing, operating, and maintaining any
appliance.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury
to persons when using your appliance, follow
basic precautions, including the following:
♦ Read all instructions before using the
appliance.
♦ Do not run appliance while you are out of the
home.
♦ Do not wash or dry articles that have been
previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or
spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents,
cooking oils, or other flammable or explosive
substances because they give off vapors that
could ignite or explode.
♦ Do not allow children to play on or in the
appliance. Close supervision of children is
necessary when the appliance is used near
children.
♦ Before the appliance is removed from service or
discarded, remove the door to the washing
compartment.
♦ Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is
moving.
♦ Do not install or store this appliance where it
will be exposed to the weather.
♦ Do not tamper with controls.
♦ Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance
or attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in the user-repair instructions
or in published user-repair instructions that you
understand and have the skills to carry out.
♦ 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.
♦ Do not use fabric softeners or products to
eliminate static unless recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
♦ Do not use fabric softeners or dryer sheets unless
the manufacturer gives written assurance that
the product will not damage a tumble dryer.
♦ Do not heat-dry items containing:
• vinyl, plastic, foam rubber or similarly
textured rubberlike materials
• fiberglass
• wool unless the label specifies “washable”
♦ 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 heat dry items that have been dry-
cleaned.
♦ 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
a washing machine or combination washer-
dryer, turn on all 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.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
This appliance must be properly grounded.
Grounding instructions for a grounded, cord-
connected appliance
In the event of malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by
providing a path of least resistance for electric
current. This appliance is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
WARNING!
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service
representative or personnel if you are in doubt
as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance.
If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
