iMPORTANT SAFETY
iNSTRUCTiONS
_To reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock, or injury to persons
when using washer and dryer follow
basic precautions, including the follow-
ing:
Prevent Fire
_G] Do not wash or dry
articles that have been previously
cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with
gasoline, cleaning solvents, kerosene,
cooking oil, waxes, etc. These sub-
stances give off' vapors that could ignite
or explode.
[AkWARNINGjDo not put oily or
greasy rags or clothing on top of dryer_
These substances give off heat and
vapors that could ignite the materials°
_G}Do not add gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents, or other flam-
mable or explosive substances to wash
water. These substances give off vapors
that could ignite or explode.
[.&WARNING] To prevent fire, do not
use heat to dry articles containing
plastic, foam rubber or similarly tex-
tured rubber-like materials, or pillows
and clothing with feathersldown
[.&WARNING j Under certain condi_
tions, 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 hot water
system has not been used for such a
period, before using washer, turn on all
hot water faucets and let 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_
I.&g/ARNING 1Clean lint screen before
or after each load. The interior of the
machine, lint screen housing and ex-
haust duct should be cleaned approxi-
mately 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 the "Care and Cleaning" sec-
tion.
_G]Keep area around ex-
haust opening and surrounding areas
free from accumulation of lint, dust and
