Important Safety Instructions  
Read all instructions before using this laundry center.  
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow these Important Safety Instructions:  
• To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using this laundry center, comply with the basic warnings  
listed below.  
• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.  
Prevent Fire  
• 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 could cause a load to catch fire.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
• Keep area around the exhaust opening and surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.  
• 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  
• 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.  
• 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  
• 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 INSTRUCTIONS for 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

Clean lint screen after every load.  
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
