Important Safety Instructions

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

W287

WARNING

(Save These Instructions)

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.

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 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, 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 accumulated hydrogen 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.

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 explode.

12. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

13. To reduce the risk of an electric shock or fire, 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. The interior of the dryer and the exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.

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.

800534

Important Safety Instructions

19. Washer and dryer will not operate with the loading door open. DO NOT bypass the door safety switches by permitting the washer 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 dryer 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 may 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 and cleaning cloths, or anything dry-cleaned at home with a drycleaning solvent in the dryer.

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

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. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer 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, have your unit checked by a qualified service person.

28. Remove laundry immediately after the dryer stops.

29. Always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions on packages of laundry and cleaning aids. Heed all warnings or precautions. 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 fiberglass 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 fiberglass.

31. Be sure water connections have a shut-off valve and that fill hose connections are tight. CLOSE the shut-off valves at the end of each wash day.

32. ALWAYS follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the garment manufacturer.

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

34. DO NOT operate the unit with missing or broken parts.

35. DO NOT bypass any safety devices.

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

37. Do not operate washer and dryer if the units have 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.

After dryer has operated for approximately five minutes, observe burner flame. Adjust the air shutter to obtain a soft, uniform blue flame. (A lazy yellowtipped flame indicates lack of air. A harsh, roaring, very blue flame indicates too much air.) Adjust the air shutter as follows:

1. Loosen the air shutter lockscrew.

2. Turn the air shutter to the left to get a luminous yellow-tipped flame, then turn it back slowly to the right to obtain a steady soft blue flame.

3. After the air shutter is adjusted for proper flame, tighten the air shutter lockscrew securely.

4. Reinstall the lower front panel.

WARNING

For personal safety, lower front panel of dryer must be in place during normal operation.

Grounding Instructions

The washer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. The washer is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a 3-prong grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING

Figure 21

The washer is designed to be operated on a separate branch, polarized, three-wire, effectively grounded, 120 Volt, 60 Hertz, AC (alternating current) circuit protected by a 15 Ampere fuse, equivalent fusetron or circuit breaker.

The three-prong grounding plug on the power cord should be plugged directly into a polarized three-slot effectively grounded receptacle rated 110/120 Volts AC (alternating current) 15 Amps. Refer to Figure 22 to determine correct polarity of the wall receptable.

D009I

Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the washer is properly grounded.

W216

DO NOT modify the plug provided with the washer – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualitied electrician.

NOTE: Have a qualified electrician check the polarity of the wall receptacle. If a voltage reading is measured other than that illustrated, the qualified electrician should correct the problem.
