Important Safety Instructions
^WARNING
• Read all instructions before
using the Thin IWin.
• NEVER wash or dry items cleaned,
washed, soaked in or spotted with
wax, paint, gasoline or flammable
fluids in the Thin Twin. The fumes
can create a FiRE HAZARD or EX
PLOSION. ALWAYS hand launder
and air dry fabrics containing these
materials.
• NEVER allow children to operate,
play with, or crawl inside the Thin
Twin. Close supervision of children is
necessary when the Thin Twin is
used near children.
• When discarding an old Thin Twin,
ALWAYS remove the lid and door to
prevent accidental entrapment.
• NEVER reach into the Thin Twin
until all the motion stops. If the lid is
opened while the washer basket is
spinning, the basket will automati
cally stop in a few seconds.
• DO NOT install or store Thin Twin
where it will be exposed to the
weather.
• DO NOT tamper with the controls.
• You are responsible for making
sure that your Thin TWin is
installed, repaired and parts
replaced by a qualified person.
To reduce the risk of fire, eiectric shock, or in
jury to persons when using your Thin Twin, fol
low basic precautions, including the following:
- SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS -
• NEVER use or store flammable
fluids (dry-cleaning solvents,
gasoline, kerosene) in or near your
Thin Twin. Do not add flammable
fluids to the wash water. These
substances give off vapors that
can create a FIRE HAZARD or
EXPLOSION
• Use only dryer fabric softeners
specifically labeled as not being
harmful to the dryer.
• FIRE HAZARD and DAMAGE to
materials can result from:
- drying rubber, rubber-like and
heat sensitive materials with heat.
- allowing lint to build-up inside
the dryer or exhaust system cleaning should be done by a
qualified person.
• Clean lint screen before or after
each load.
• If hot water has not been used
recently (usually 2 weeks or longer),
hydrogen gases may build up in
the water heater and the hot water
pipes. HYDROGEN GAS IS
EXPLOSIVE. To prevent injury or
damage, before using your washer,
turn on all hot water faucets and al
low water to run for several minutes.
This will allow gases to escape. DO
NOT smoke or use any open flame
near the faucet while it is open.
• DO NOT let dust, paper, rags, lint,
chemicals, etc. pile up, around or
under the Thin Twin.
• The Thin Twin must be electrically
grounded. See the Installation
Instructions.

yours is a gas dryer.
• DO NOT machine wash or dry glass
fiber materials. Small particles can
stick to fabrics laundered in following
loads and cause skin irritation.
• HAZARDOUS FUMES can be
formed if chlorine bleach is used in
the same wash as ammonia or acids
such as vinegar or rust remover.
• ALWAYS store detergent, laundry
aids and other materials in a cool, dry
place where children can’t reach them

- is properly maintained.
- is properly installed and
leveled in a well ventilated room on
a floor that can support the weight.*
- is located in an area where the tem
perature is above 45°F (7.2°C)
because the dryer will not operate
properly at cold temperatures and
freezing temperatures can damage
the washer.
- is connected to the proper electrical
supply, outlet, water supply, plumb
ing fixtures, drain and dryer
exhausting system.*
- is not installed against drapes or
curtains.*
- is used only for jobs normally

is an electronic sensor that determines
the amount of moisture in the clothes.
The dryer automatically shuts off when
the proper dryness is reached.
Use AUTOMATIC REGULAR to dry
heavy and mediumweight cotton items.
The load tumbles without heat during
the last 8 minutes. This helps make the
load easier to handle.
Use AUTOMATIC PERMANENT
PRESS to dry permanent press, knits
and other synthetic items. The load
tumbles without heat during the last 13
minutes. This helps keep wrinkles from
setting in and makes the load easier
to handle.

time you dry a similar load.
• If items are not as dry as you like, use
a setting to the left of the * the next
time you dry a similar load.
The Cycle Control Knob will not move
until the clothes load is almost dry, or
the Cool-Down portion of the cycle has
been reached. After the Cool-Down
portion is complete, the Cycle Control
Knob automatically moves to an OFF
area and tumbling stops.

items not removed from the dryer at the
end of a cycle.
The load will tumble in heated air for
12 minutes. The heat shuts off and the
dryer continues to tumble for 8 minutes.
For best results, put only a few items
at a time in this cycle. As soon as the
dryer stops, put items on hangers or
fold them.

If You Need Service Or Assistance...
We suggest you follow these steps:
1. Before calling for assistance...
Performance problems often result from
little things you can find and fix yourself
without tools of any kind.
If your washer does not fill:
• Is the power supply cord plugged into
a live circuit with the proper voltage?
• Are both water faucets open?
• Have you checked your home’s main
fuses or circuit breaker box?
• Are the water supply hoses kinked?
• Is the Cycle Control Knob set and
pulled out?
If your washer does not spin:
• Is the lid closed?
• Is the power supply cord plugged into
a live circuit with the proper voltage?
• Have you checked your home’s main
fuses or circuit breaker box?
If your washer drains at the
wrong time:
• The drain hose should be at least 28
inches above the floor and secured.
• The drain hose should not fit tightly in
the drain pipe.
• Make sure that the Cycle Control
Knob is pointing to a number in the
cycle.
Make sure the drain hose is higher
than the water level in the washer.
If it isn’t...
• The washer may seem to be draining
during wash and rinse cycles.
• Water can siphon out. (See Installa
tion Instructions.)
If your washer stops during
a cycle:
• Remember, the washer pauses briefly
at different times in each cycle. These
pauses are normal.
If your dryer does not run:
• Is the power supply plugged into a live
circuit with the proper voltage?
• Is the door closed tightly?
• Did you push the START Button?
• Have you checked your home's main
fuses or circuit breaker box?
If your dryer does not heat:
• The FLUFF AIR setting is without
heat.
• The last few minutes of heated cycle
settings are without heat.
• An electric dryer uses a circuit breaker
or 2 fuses. If one fuse is blown, the
dryer may run, but not heat.
If drying time seems too long:
• Is the gas turned on? If not, turn the
Cycle Control Knob to OFF. Turn on
gas. Wait 5 minutes. Reset controls
and start.
• Is the lint screen clean? See page 16
of this book for cleaning instructions.
• Is exhaust system clean? Cleaning
should be done by a qualified person.
