WASHER/DRYER SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety

messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately

follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING" To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer/dryer, follow basic

precautions, including the following:

[] Read all instructions before using the washer/dryer. [] Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer.

Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.

[] Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously

cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable, or explosive

substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

[] 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.

[] Do not allow children to play on or in the washer/dryer.

Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer/dryer is used near children.

[] Before the washer/dryer is removed from service or

discarded, remove the doors to the washer/dryer compartments.

[] Do not reach into the washer/dryer if the tub, agitator or

drum is moving.

[] Do not install or store the washer/dryer where it will be

exposed to the weather.

[] Do not tamper with controls. [] Clean dryer lint screen before or after each load.

[] Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in

a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water

system has not been used for such a period, before using

the washing machine, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will

release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

[] Do not repair or replace any part of the washer/dryer or

attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in this Use and Care Guide or in published user-repair

instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry

out.

[] Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static

unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric

softener or product.

[] Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or

similarly textured rubber-like materials.

[] Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent

surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust,

and dirt.

[] The interior of the machine and dryer exhaust vent should

be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.

[] See "Electrical Requirements" section for grounding

instructions.

It is your responsibility

• Tocontact a qualified electrical installer.

• To be sure that the electrical connection is adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA

70-latest edition and all local codes and ordinances. A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

Tosupply the required 3 or 4 wire, single phase, 120/240 volt, 60 Hz., AC only electrical supply (or 3 or 4 wire, 120/208 volt electrical supply, if specified on the serial/rating plate) on a separate 30-amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Connect

to an individual branch circuit. Do not have a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit.

• Do not use an extension cord.

• If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.

Electrical Connection

To properly install your laundry center, you must determine the type of electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions provided for it here.

• This dryer is manufactured ready to install with a 3-wire electrical supply connection. The neutral ground wire is permanently connected to the neutral conductor (white wire) within the dryer. Ifthe dryer is installed with a 4-wire electrical supply connection, the neutral ground wire must be removed from the internal ground connector (green screw), and secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal block. When the neutral ground wire is secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal block, the dryer cabinet is isolated from the neutral

conductor.

• If local codes do not permit the connection of a neutral ground wire to the neutral wire, see "Optional 3-wire

connection" section.

• Use a 4-wire conductor cord when the dryer is installed in a mobile home or an area where local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral.

If using a power supply cord:

• Use a UL listed power supply cord kit marked for use with clothes dryers. The kit should contain:

A UL listed 30-amp power supply cord, rated 120/240 volt minimum. The cord should be type SRD or SRDT and be at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long. The wires that connect to the dryer must end in ring terminals or spade terminals with upturned

ends.

• A UL listed strain relief.

If your outlet looks like this:

4-wire receptacle (14-30R)

Then choose a 4-wire power supply cord with ring or spade terminals and UL listed strain relief. The 4-wire power supply cord, at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long, must have four 10-gauge copper wires and match a 4-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 14-30R. The ground wire (ground conductor) may be either green or bare. The neutral conductor must be identified by a white cover.

If your outlet looks like this:

3-wire receptacle (10-30R)

Then choose a 3-wire power supply cord with ring or spade terminals and UL listed strain relief. The 3-wire power supply cord, at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long, must have three 10-gauge copper wires and match a 3-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 10-30R.

If connecting by direct wire:

Power supply cable must match power supply (4-wire or 3-wire) and be:

• Flexible armored cable or nonmetallic sheathed copper cable (with ground wire), protected with flexible metallic conduit. All current-carrying wires must be insulated.

• 10-gauge solid copper wire. (Do not use aluminum.)

• At least 5 ft (1.52 m) long.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

[] For a grounded, cord-connected washer/dryer:

This washer/dryer 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. This washer/dryer uses a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a 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.

[] For a permanently connected washer/dryer:

This washer/dryer must be connected to a grounded metal,

permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and

connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the washer/dryer.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative or

personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the washer/dryer

is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug on the power supply cord: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet

installed by a qualified electrician.

• Exhaust hood must be at least 12" (30.5 cm) from the ground or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as flowers, rocks or bushes, snow line, etc.).

• Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.

Improper venting can cause moisture and lint to collect indoors, which may result in:

[] Moisture damage to woodwork, furniture, paint,

wallpaper, carpets, etc.

[] Housecleaning problems and health problems.

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install washer/dryer.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

To protect the floor, use a large flat piece of cardboard from the shipping carton. Gently place the laundry center on its side, on

the cardboard.

Install the rear leveling legs

1. Push legs into holes in rear corners until they snap into place.

2. Check adjustability of rear legs by pushing in one leg. The

other leg should come out. Check both legs. If they do not move freely, repeat Step 1.

Install the front leveling legs

1. Examine the front leveling legs. Find the diamond marking.

2. Screw front legs by hand, into the holes in the triangular braces in the front corners. Use wrench to finish turning the legs until the diamond marking is no longer visible.

Proper connection of the drain hose protects your floors from damage due to water leakage, To keep the drain hose from coming off or leaking, it must be installed according to the following instructions:

IMPORTANT: To ensure proper installation, this procedure must be followed exactly.

f. Check the drain hose to see whether it is the proper length.

2. Wet the inside of the straight end of the drain hose with tap water.

IMPORTANT: Do not use any lubricant other than water.

3. Squeeze ears of the silver, double-wire clamp with pliers to open. Place clamp over the straight end of the drain hose W' (6.4 mm) from the end.

4. Open clamp. Twist hose back and forth while pushing onto drain connector on the side of the laundry center. Continue

until hose contacts the ribbed stops on the cabinet.

3. Stand the laundry center upright.

1. Open the washer lid. The latch under the dryer will keep the lid open.

2. Pull the foam packing ring out of the washer.

NOTE: Keep the foam ring and use it when transporting your laundry center. This packing material is used to keep the washer tub stable during transport.

5. Place clamp over the area marked "CLAMR" Release clamp. For laundry tub or standpipe drain systems

1. Open the yellow, single-wire clamp and slide over the hooked end of the drain hose to secure the rubber and corrugated sections together.

A. Hooked end B. Drain hose

2. Put the hooked end of drain hose into laundry tub or standpipe. Rotate hook to eliminate kinks.

To keep drain water from going back into the washer:

• Do not straighten hooked end of the drain hose and force excess drain hose into standpipe. Hose should be secure but loose enough to provide a gap for air.

• Do not lay excess hose on the bottom of the laundry tub.

For use with floor drain Remove the drain hose hook from the corrugated drain hose. You

may need additional parts. See Floor drain under "Alternate Parts."

Insert a new flat washer (supplied) into each end of the inlet

Alternate installations for close clearances

Venting systems come in many varieties. Select the type best for your installation. Three close-clearance installations are shown.

Determine vent path

• Select the route that will provide the straightest and most direct path outdoors.

• Plan the installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns.

• When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room as possible.

• Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.

• Use the fewest 90 ° turns possible.

Determine vent length and elbows needed for best drying performance

If the laundry center is not level, prop up the front with a wood block and adjust the feet up or down as necessary. Remove wood block and lower laundry center. Repeat this step until the laundry center is level.

• Use the Vent system chart below to determine type of vent material and hood combinations acceptable to use.

NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specified in the Vent system chart. Exhaust systems longer than those specified will:

• Shorten the life of the dryer.

• Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and

increased energy usage.

The Vent system chart provides venting requirements that will help to achieve the best drying performance.

Vent system chart

NOTE: Side exhaust installations add a 90°turn inside the

laundry center. To determine maximum exhaust length, add one 90° turn to the chart.

Install exhaust hood. Use caulking compound to seal exterior

wall opening around exhaust hood.

Connect vent to exhaust hood. Vent must fit inside exhaust hood. Secure vent to exhaust hood with 4" (10.2 cm) clamp.

Run vent to dryer location. Use the straightest path possible. See "Determine vent path" in "Plan Vent System." Avoid 90° turns. Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws or other fastening devices that extend into the interior

of the vent to secure vent.

Properly leveling your laundry center averts excessive noise and vibration.

1. Check the levelness of the laundry center by placing a level on the top edge of the washer, first side to side, then front to

back.

1. Using a 4" (10.2 cm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet in laundry center. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the

vent is clean. The vent must fit over the exhaust outlet and inside the exhaust hood. Make sure the vent is secured to

exhaust hood with a 4" (10.2 cm) clamp.

2. Move laundry center into its final position. Do not crush or kink vent. Make sure laundry center is level.

1. Check that all parts are now installed, If there is an extra part, go back through the steps to see which step was skipped,

2. Check that you have all of your tools.

3. Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials, Keep the plastic foam for use if the laundry center should be transported.

4. Check the laundry center's final location. Be sure the vent is not crushed or kinked.

5. Check that the laundry center is level and front leveling feet are tight. See "Level Laundry Center."

6. For power supply cord installation, plug into an outlet. For direct wire installation, turn on power.

7. Check that the water faucets are on.

8. Check for leaks around faucets and inlet hoses.

g. Remove the blue protective film on the console and any tape

remaining on the laundry center.

10. Read "Washer Use" and "Dryer Use."

11. Wipe the dryer drum interior thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any dust.

12. To test the washer, measure _/2the normal recommended amount of detergent and pour it into the washer. Close the lid.

Select HEAVY DUTY and pull out the Cycle Control knob. Allow the washer to complete one whole cycle.

13. To test the dryer, set the dryer on a full heat cycle (not an air cycle) for 20 minutes and start the dryer.

If the dryer will not start, check the following:

• Controls are set in a running or "On" position.

• PUSH TO START DRYER button has been firmly pushed.

• Laundry center is plugged into an outlet and/or electrical

supply is on.

• Household fuse is intact and tight, or circuit breaker has

not tripped.

• Dryer door is closed.

14. When the dryer has been running for 5 minutes, open the dryer door and feel for heat. Ifyou feel heat, cancel cycle and

close the door. If you do not feel heat, turn off the dryer and check the

following:

• There may be 2 household fuses or circuit breakers for

the dryer. Check to make sure both fuses are intact and tight, or that both circuit breakers have not tripped. If

there is still no heat, contact a qualified technician.

NOTE: You may notice a burning odor when dryer is first heated.

This odor is common when the heating element is first used. The

odor will go away.
