IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
WARNING
Read all instructions before using the appliance.
Follow all fabric care instructions and warnings to prevent melting of garments or damage to the appliance.
DO NOT wash or dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that could
ignite or explode.
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 place items exposed to cooking oils in your unit. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute
to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire. To reduce the risk of fire due to contaminated loads,
the final part of the tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down period). At the end of the cycle the door
remains locked during the cool down period to protect from surfaces that get hot during drying. The cool down
period will be approximately 10 minutes before the door is unlocked.
DO NOT dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
DO NOT store combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable liquids near the unit. Keep area around the
air intake vent on the front of the unit and adjacent surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust
and dirt.
The interior of the appliance should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
DO NOT add dryer lint sheet in the unit when washing.
DO NOT spray any type of aerosol into, on or near the unit at any time. DO NOT use any type of spray
cleaner when cleaning the interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could occur.
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, 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.
DO NOT allow children to play on or in this appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when this
appliance is used near children. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door
or lid. Failure to follow these instructions may result in death or injury to persons.
DO NOT reach into the appliance if the drum is moving to prevent accidental entanglement.
DO NOT install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
DO NOT tamper with controls, repair or replace any part of this appliance or attempt any servicing unless
specifically recommended in the user maintenance instructions or in published user repair instructions that you
understand and have the skills to carry out.
DO NOT climb or stand on this unit.
DO NOT operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or has missing or
broken parts including a damaged cord or plug.
Unplug the appliance or turn off the circuit breaker before servicing. Pressing the Power button DOES NOT
disconnect power.
