* Do not wash or dry items that have been previously cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents, kerosene,
waxes, etc. Do not store these items on or near the dryer. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
* Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated
with cooking oils may contribute
to a chemical reaction

that
o 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 flammable
or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off
vapors that could ignite or explode.
o 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 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.
* To prevent fire, do not use heat to dry items containing
plastic, foam rubber or similarly textured
rubber-like
materials, or items
containing
feathers or down. Use Air Fluff (No Heat) only.
* Clean the dryer lint screen before or after each load. The interior 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.
Important
Safety
Instructions
Con't
o Do not operate the dryer if the lint screen is blocked, damaged or missing. Fire hazard, overheating and damage to fabrics can occur.
If your dryer has a drying rack, always replace the lint screen when finished using the drying rack.
o Keep area around the exhaust opening and surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.
o Do not obstruct the flow of ventilating air. Do not stack or place laundry or throw rugs against the front or back of the laundry center.
Do not spray any type of aerosol into, on or near laundry center at any time.
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire, explosion, serious bodily injury and/or damage to the rubber or plastic parts
of the laundry center.
Protect Children
o Do not allow children to play on or in the laundry center. Close supervision of children is necessary when the laundry center is used
near children. As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances.
Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing materials after the laundry center is unpacked. Children might use them for play.
Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers.
o Keep laundry products out of children's reach. To prevent personal injury, observe all warnings on product labels.
Before the laundry center is removed from service or discarded, remove the washer lid and dryer door to prevent accidental
entrapment.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
Prevent Injury
o To prevent shock hazard and assure stability during operation, the laundry center must be installed and electrically grounded by a qualified
service person in accordance with local codes. Installation instructions are packed in the laundry center for the installer's reference. Refer
to INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSfor detailed grounding procedures. If the laundry center is moved to a new location, have it checked and
reinstalled by a qualified service person.
To prevent personal injury or damage to the laundry center, the electrical power cord of a gas laundry center must be plugged into a properly
grounded system. Never ground the laundry center to a gas pipe. Do not use an extension cord or an adaptor plug.
o Follow package directions when using laundry products. Incorrect usage can produce poisonous gas--resulting in serious injury or
death.
- Do not combine laundry products for use in 1 load unless specified on the label.
- Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar.
To prevent serious personal injury and damage to the laundry center:
- All repairs and servicing must be performed by an authorized
servicer unless specifically recommended in this Owner's
Guide. Use only authorized factory parts.
- Do not tamper with controls.
- Do not install or store the laundry center where it will be exposed to the weather.
ALWAYS disconnect the laundry center from the electrical supply before attempting any service or cleaning. Failure to do so can
result in electrical shock or injury.
Do not use any type spray cleanser when cleaning dryer interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could occur.
o To prevent injury, do not reach into the washer while parts are moving. Before loading, unloading or adding items, push in the cycle
selector knob and allow the tub to coast to a complete stop before reaching inside.
To prevent injury, do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving. Wait until the dryer has stopped completely before reaching into
the drum.
A thermal limiter switch automatically turns off the dryer motor in the unlikely event of an overheated situation (electric dryers only).
A service technician must replace the thermal limiter switch after correcting the fault.
The washer is equipped with an electrical overload protector. The motor will stop if it becomes overheated. The washer will
automatically restart after a cool down period of up to 30 minutes, if the washer has not been manually turned off during this time.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.

Care and Cleaning
To reduce risk of fire or serious injury to persons or property, comply
with the basic warnings listed in Important Safety Instructions and those listed
below.
Before clean ing t he washer or d ryer in terior, unplug the electricaI power cord
to avoid electrical shock hazards.
Do not use any type spray cleanser when cleaning dryer interior. Hazardous
fumes or electrical shock could occur.
Inside
the Washer
Remove items from thewasher as soon asthe cycleends. Excesswrinkling, color
transfer, and odors may develop in items left in the washer.
Dry the washer top, the area around the lid opening, and the underside of the
lid. These areas should always be dry before the lid is closed.
Beforecleaningthewasherinterior,
electrical shock hazards.
Clean lint screen after every load.
unplugtheelectricMpowercordtoavoid
When extremely soiled items have been washed, a dirty residue may remain on
the tub. Remove this by wiping the tub with a nonabrasive household cleanser.
Rinsethoroughly with water.
The agitator or tub may become stained from fabric dye. Clean these parts with
a nonabrasive household cleanser. This prevents dye transfer to future loads.
Inside
the Dryer
Clean the dryer lint screen after every load. Lint build-up in the screen restricts
airflow, which causes longer drying times. The screen is located at the bottom
of the door opening. Remove by pulling straight up. Remove the lint and replace
the screen.
Wash lint screen occasionally.
Use care with laundry
products. They can damage finish on
the laundry center.
Occasionally awaxy build-u p may form on the lint screen from using dryer-added
fabric softener sheets. To remove this build-up, wash the lint screen in warm,
soapy water. Dry thoroughly and replace. Do not operate the dryer without the
lint screen in place.
Ifthe dryer drum becomes stained from noncolorfast fabrics, clean the drum with
a damp cloth and a mild liquid household cleanser. Remove cleanser residue
before drying the next load.
Every 18 months an authorized servicer should clean the dryer cabinet interior
and exhaust duct. These areas can collect lint and dust over time. An excessive
amount of lint build-u p could result in inefficient drying and possible fire hazard.
Outside
When laundering is completed, wipe cabinet with a damp cloth. Turn water
faucets off to prevent pressure build-up in the hoses.
Clean the cabinet with mild soap and water. Never use harsh, gritty or
abrasive cleansers. If the cabinet becomes stained, clean with diluted chlorine
bleach [1/2 cup (120 ml) in 1 quart (.95 L)water]. Rinse several times with clear
water.
Remove glue residue from tape or labels with a mixture of warm water and mild
detergent. Or, touch residue with the sticky side of the tape or label.
Before moving the laundry center, place a strip of cardboard or th in fiberboard
under the front leveling legs to prevent floor damage.
