1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:
a. Do not wash or dry items that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gaso-
line, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable or explo-
sive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite
or explode. Hand wash and line dry any items contain-
ing these substances.
Any material on which you have used a cleaning sol-
vent, or which is saturated with flammable liquids or
solids, should not be placed in the appliance until all
traces of these liquids or solids and their fumes have
been removed.
These items include acetone, denatured alcohol, gaso-
line, kerosene, some liquid household cleaners, some
spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers.
b. 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.
c. 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 EXPLO-
SIVE. 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. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an
open flame during this time.
d. Items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex
foam) or similarly textured rubber-like materials must
not be dried on a heat setting. Foam rubber materials
when heated, can under certain circumstances produce
fire by spontaneous combustion.
e. Do not wash or dry items that are soiled with veg-
etable or cooking oil. These items may contain some
oil after laundering. Due to the remaining oil, the fab-
ric may smoke or catch fire by itself.
3. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance.
Close supervision of children is necessary when the
appliance is used near children.
4. Before the appliance is removed from service or discard-
ed, remove the door to the clothes washer compartment.
5. Do not reach into the appliance if the tub, agitator, or
drum is moving.
6. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be
exposed to the weather.
7. Do not tamper with controls.
8. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or
attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended
in published user-repair instructions that you understand
and have the skills to carry out.
9. The agitator should not be removed. If the agitator is
removed, it must be replaced by pushing down complete-
ly and the locking screw tightened before the washer is
operated.
10. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate stat-
ic unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric
softener or product.
11. Clean the dryer lint screen before or after each load.
12. Keep the area around the exhaust opening and surround-
ing areas free from lint accumulation, dust and dirt.
13. The interior of the dryer and exhaust duct should be
cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
14. This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug
the appliance cord into a receptacle which is not ground-
ed adequately and in accordance with local and national
codes. See Installation Instructions for grounding this
appliance.
15. Unplug power supply cord before attempting to service
your appliance.
16. Store laundry aids and other material in a cool, dry place
where children cannot reach them.
17. Do not use chlorine bleach and ammonia or acids (such
as vinegar or rust remover) in the same wash. Hazardous
fumes can form.
18. Do not machine wash fiberglass materials. Small parti-
cles can stick to fabrics washed in following loads and
cause skin irritation.
19. Before the appliance is removed from service or discard-
ed, remove the door to the clothes dryer compartment.
20. Install and level washer on a floor that can support the
weight.
21. As with any equipment using electricity and having mov-
ing parts, there are potential hazards. To use this appli-
ance safely, the operator should become familiar with the
instructions for operation of the appliance and always
exercise care when using it.
