GAS LAUNDRY CENTERS:

 

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.
