Prevent Fire
• DO NOT wash or dry items that have
been previously cleaned in, soaked in, or
spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents,
kerosene, cooking oils, waxes, etc. DO
NOT store these items on or near the
washer. These substances give off vapors
or chemical reactions that could ignite or
explode.
• DO NOT put oily or greasy rags or cloth-
ing on top of the laundry center. These
substances give off vapors that could
ignite the materials.
• DO NOT add gasoline, cleaning solvents,
or other ammable or explosive substanc-
es 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, turn on all hot water
faucets and let the water ow from each
for several minutes BEFORE using the
washer. This will release any accumulated
hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas is amma-
ble; DO NOT smoke or use an open ame
during this time.
• DO NOT store or use gasoline or other
ammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance.
• 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 re. To reduce the risk of re
due to contaminated loads, the nal part
of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without
heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping
a tumble dryer before the end of the
drying cycle unless all items are quickly
removed and spread out so that the heat
is dissipated.
• DO NOT dry articles containing rubber,
plastic or similar materials such as bras,
galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby
pants, plastic bags, and pillows that may
melt or burn. Some rubber materials,
when heated, can under certain circum-
stances produce re by spontaneous
combustion.
• Clean the lint lter before or after each
load. The interior of the dryer, lint
lter housing, and exhaust duct
should be cleaned approximately
every 18 months by qualied service
personnel. An excessive amount of lint
build-up in these areas could result in
inefcient drying and possible re.
See
Care and Cleaning
.
• DO NOT operate the dryer if the lint lter
is blocked, damaged or missing. Fire haz-
ard, overheating, and damage to fabrics
can occur.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• DO NOT obstruct the ow of ventilating
air. DO NOT stack or place laundry or
throw rugs against the front or back of
the dryer.
• DO NOT spray any type of aerosol into,
on or near dryer at any time.
• DO NOT use fabric softeners or products
to eliminate static unless recommended
by the manufacturer of the fabric soft-
ener or product.
• DO NOT continue to use the laundry
center if you hear squeaking, grinding,
rubbing or other unusual noises. This
could be a sign of mechanical breakdown
and lead to re or serious injury. Contact
a qualied technician immediately.
• Failure to comply with these warnings
could result in re, explosion, serious
bodily injury, and/or damage to the rub-
ber or plastic parts of the laundry center.
