This
Use & Care Guide provides general
operating instructions for your laundry
center. It also contains information about
features for several other models. Your
model may not have every feature included.
Use the laundry center only as instructed
in this
Use & Care Guide.
This book contains valuable information
about operation, care and service. Keep it
in a safe place.
Child safety
Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic
bags, and any exterior wrapping material
immediately after the laundry center is
unpacked. Children should never use
these items to play. Cartons covered with
rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch
wrap may become airtight chambers, and
can quickly cause suffocation.
Proper disposal
Child entrapment and suffocation are
not problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned washers/dryers are still
dangerous – even if they will sit for “just
a few days”. If you are getting rid of your
old washer/dryer, please follow the Risk
of
Child Entrapment section of the safety
instructions to help prevent accidents.
WARNING
Please read all instructions before using
this laundry center.
