IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS)

12. Do not use fabric softeners or products to

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your dryer, follow these basic precautions:

W034

1. Read all instructions before using the unit.

2. Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in the INSTALLATION manual for the proper grounding of the unit.

3. Do not wash or 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.

4. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot wate r s ystem that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using a washing machine or combination washer-dryer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumul ated h ydroge n gas. The gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

5. Do not allow children to play on or in the unit. Close supervision of children is necessary when the unit is used near children. This is a safety rule for all appliances.

6. Before the unit is removed from service or discarded, remove the doors to the washing and drying compartments.

7. Do not reach into the washer or dryer if the cylinders are revolving.

8. Do not install or store the unit where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.

9. Do not tamper with the controls.

10. Do not repair or replace any part of the unit, or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the User-Maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

11. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or expl ode.

eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

13. To reduce the risk of an electri c shock o r f i r e, DO NOT use an adapter to connect the unit to the electrical power source.

14. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT DRY plastics or articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubberlike materials.

15. ALWAYS clean the lint filter after every load. A layer of lint in the filter reduces drying efficiency and prolongs drying time.

16. Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding area free from the accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.

17. T he interi or of the drye r and the exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified service pers onnel.

18. If not installed, operated and maintained in

accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions or if there is damage to or mishandling of this product’s components, use of this product could expose you to substances in the fuel or from fuel combustion which can cause death or serious illness and which are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

19. Washer and dryer will not operate with the loading door open. DO NOT by-pass the door safety switches by pe rmitting the wash er or dryer to operate with the doors open. The washer and dryer will stop tumbling when the doors are opened. Do not use the washer or dry er if they do not stop tumbling when the doors are opened or start tumbling without pressing the START mechanisms. Remove the unit from use and call the service person.

20. Do not put articles soiled with vegetable or cooking oil in the washer or dryer. Due to the oil, the fabric ma y catch on fire by itself.

21. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT put clothes which have traces of any flammable substances such as machine oil, flammable chemicals, thinner, etc., or anything containing wax or chemicals such as in mops a nd cleani ng clot hs, or anything dry-cleaned at home with a drycleaning solvent in the dryer.

504509 3

22. Use your washer only for its intended purpose, washing clothes.

32. ALWAYS follow the fabric care instru ctions supplied by the garment manufacturer.

23. Use the dryer only for its intended purpose, drying clothes.

24. Always disconnect the electrical power to the washer and dryer before attempting service to either unit. Disconnect the power cords by grasping the plug, not the cord.

25. I f the supply cord is damaged, it must be r eplaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufactu rer or its service agent.

26. Install this unit according to the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. All connections for electrical power, grounding and gas supply must comply with local codes and be made by licensed personnel when required. Do not do it yourself unless you know how!

27. Keep your unit in good condition. Bumping or dropping the unit can damage safety features. If this occurs, ha ve your unit checke d by a qual if ied service pers on.

28. Remove laundry immediately after the dryer stops.

29. Always read and follow manufacturer’s

instructions on packa ges of l aundr y and cleaning aids. Heed all warning s or pr ecautions. To reduce the risk of poisoning or chemical burns, keep them out of reach of children at all times (preferably in a locked cabinet).

30. Do not tumble fiber glass curtains and draperies unless the label says it can be done. If they are dried, wipe out the cylinder with a damp cloth to remove particles of fiber glass.

33. Never operate the unit with any guards and/or panels removed.

34. DO NOT operate the unit wi th missing o r br oke n parts.

35. DO NOT by-pass any safety devices.

36. Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this machine accor ding to the manufa cturer’s instructions may result in conditions which can produce bodily injury and/or property damage.

37. D o not ope rate washer and dry er if t he units hav e been separated.

IMPORTANT: Solvent vapors from dry-cleaning machines create acids when drawn through the heater of the drying unit. These acids are corrosive to the dryer as well as to the laundry load being dried. Be sure make-up air is free of solvent vapors.

IMPORTANT: Have your unit installed properly. Don’t do it yourself unless you know how!

NOTE: The WARNING and IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS appearing in this manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. Common sense, caution and care must be exercised when installing, maintaining, or operating the dryer.

Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent or the manufacturer about any problems or conditions you do not understand.

Water Supply Requirements

. . .

WARNING

Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period and 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. The gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

NOTE: Water supply faucets must fit standard 3/4 inch (19.1 mm) female garden hose couplings. DO NOT USE SLIP-ON OR CLAMP-ON CONNECTIONS.

NOTE: Water supply faucets should be readily accessible to permit turning them off when washer is not being used.

Water Temperature

Cold:

Recommended cold water temperature is 60° to 80° Fahrenheit, 16° to 27° Celsius.

Hot:

Recommended hot water temperature is 120° to 140° Fahrenheit, 49° to 60° Celsius.

Warm:

Mixture of hot and cold water. (Warm water temperature is dependent upon the wat er temperature and the pre ssure of both the hot and cold water supply lines.)

IMPORTANT: Turn off water supply faucets after check-out and demonstration. Owner should t urn off water supply whenever there will be an extended period of non-use.

NOTE: Longer inlet hoses are available (as optional equipment at extra cost) if the hoses (supplied with the washer) are not long enough for the installation. Order hoses as follows:

Water Pressure

Pressure must be a minimum of 2 0 to a maximum of 1 20 pounds per square inch (138 to 827 kPa) static pressure measured at the faucet.

NOTE: Water pressure under 20 pounds per square inch (138 kPa ) will cause an extended fill time in the washer and may not properly flu sh out the detergent dispenser.

Risers

Risers (or air cushions) may have to be installed if the pipes knock or pound when flow of water stops. The risers are more efficient when installed as close as possible to the water supply faucets (see illustration below).
