WASHER-DRYER SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer, follow basic precautions, including the following:
■
Read all instructions before using the dryer.
■
Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contami-
nated 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 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 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 allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close supervision of
children is necessary when the dryer is used near children.
■
Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded, remove the
door to the drying compartment.
■
Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving.
■
Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to the weather.
■
Do not tamper with controls.
■
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 appliance, turn on all hot-water faucets and let the water
flow 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 repair or replace any part of the dryer or attempt any servic-
ing unless specifically recommended in this Use and Care Guide or in
published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the
skills to carry out.
■
Do not use fabric softeners or product to eliminate static unless rec-
ommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
■
Do not use clothes dryer fabric softener in combo units.
■
Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly
textured rubber-like materials.
■
Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding
areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.
■
The interior of the dryer and exhaust vent should be cleaned peri-
odically by qualified service personnel.
■
See Installation Instructions for grounding instructions.
■
Do not use replacement parts that have not been recommended by
the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at home using a 3D printer).
■
Turn off water faucets to relieve pressure on hoses and valves and to
minimize leakage if a break or rupture occurs.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer, follow basic precautions, including the following:
■
Read all instructions before using the washer.
■
Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in,
soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, 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 explo-
sive 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 EX-
PLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before
using the appliance, turn on all hot-water faucets and let the water flow 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.
■
Turn off water faucets when appliance is not in use to relieve pressure on
hoses and valves and to minimize leakage if a break or rupture occurs.
■
Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of
children is necessary when the washer is used near children.
■
Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the
door or lid.
■
Do not reach into the washer if the drum, tub or agitator is moving.
■
Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the
weather.
■
Do not tamper with controls.
■
Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt any servic-
ing unless specifically recommended in this manual or in published
user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to
carry out.

■
Do not use replacement parts that have not been recommended by
the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at home using a 3D printer).
