INSTRUCTIONS FOR
YOUR SAFETY
_WARNING_ To reduce the risk
of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons when using your washer and
dryer follow basic precautions, in-
cluding the following:
Prevent Fire
1_WARNING ] Do not wash or dry
articles that have been previously
cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted
with Gasoline Cleaning Solvents,
Kerosene, Cooking Oil, Waxes, Etc.
These substances give off vapors
that could ignite or explode.
L_WARNINGiDo not add gaso-
line, dry-cleaning solvents, or other
flammable or explosive substances
to the wash water. These substances
give off vapors that could ignite or
explode.
E&WARNINGj Under certain con-
ditions, hydrogen gas may be pro-
duced in a hot water system that has
not been used for 2 weeks or more.
HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLO-
SIVE. If the hot water system has
not been used for such a period,
before using the washer, turn on al!
hot water faucets and let the water
flow from each for several minutes.
This will release any accumulated
hydrogen gas. As the gas is flam-
mable, do not smoke or use an open
flame during this time.

not use heat to dry articles contain-
ing plastic, foam rubber or similarly
textured rubber-like materials, or

down.
[,tkWARNING] Clean tint screen
before or after each load. The in-
tenor of the machine, Iint screen
housing and exhaust duct should be
cleaned approximately every 18
months by qualified service per-
sonnel. An excessive amount of lint
build-up in these areas could result
in inefficient drying and possible
fire. See the "Care and Cleaning"
section.
