Complete Owner's Guide

• To prevent personal injury or damage
to the laundry center, the electrical
power cord of a gas dryer must be
plugged into a properly grounded
and polarized 3-prong outlet. The
third grounding prong must never be
removed. Never ground the dryer to
a gas pipe. DO NOT use an extension
cord or an adaptor plug.
• ALWAYS disconnect the laundry
center from the electrical supply
before attempting any service or
cleaning. Failure to do so can result
in electrical shock or injury.
• DO NOT use any type spray cleanser
when cleaning dryer interior.
Hazardous fumes or electrical shock
could occur.
• To prevent injury, DO NOT reach into
the laundry center while parts are
moving. Before loading, unloading
or adding items, push in the cycle
selector knob to stop the cycle.
Allow the wash tub or dryer drum
to coast to a complete stop before
reaching inside.
• The lid will remain locked for up to 6
minutes after the cycle ends, to allow the
wash tub to stop spinning.
• Follow package directions when
using laundry products. Incorrect
usage can produce poisonous gas -
resulting in serious injury or death.
• DO NOT combine laundry products
for use in 1 load unless specified on
the label.
• DO NOT mix chlorine bleach with
ammonia or acids such as vinegar.
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 and dryer doors to
prevent accidental entrapment.
• Failure to comply with these
warnings could result in serious
personal injuries.
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
washer and dryers are still dangerous – even
if they will sit for “just a few days”. If you
are getting rid of your old washer or dryer,
please follow the instructions below to help
prevent accidents.
We strongly encourage responsible
appliance recycling/disposal methods.
Contact your State/Provence Energy
Oce, Local Electric and Water Utilities or
Conservation Program Oce or visit www.
energystar.gov/recycle for more information
on recycling your old washer or dryer.
Before you throw away your old washer
or dryer:
• Remove doors.
• Remove the electric power cord.
• Secure all hoses and drain pipes to
prevent water from leaking out and
creating a slip hazard.
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 washer for
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.
WARNING
HARMFUL VAPOR HAZARD
DO NOT use or mix liquid chlorine
bleach with other household chemicals
such as toilet cleaners, rust removers,
acids such as vinegar, or products
containing ammonia. These mixtures
can produce dangerous fumes which
can cause serious injury or death.
