i iMPORTANT: When discarding or storing your old clothes dryer, remove the door. l

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.

4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent

[] Only a 4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps may

be used.

[] Do not use plastic or metal foil vent. Rigid metal vent:

[] Recommended for best drying performance and to avoid

crushing and kinking.

Flexible metal vent: (Acceptable only if accessible to clean) [] Must be fully extended and supported in final dryer location.

[] Remove excess to avoid sagging and kinking that may result

in reduced airflow and poor performance.

[] Do not install in enclosed walls, ceilings, or floors. [] The total length should not exceed 73/4ft. (2.4 m).

NOTE: If using an existing vent system, clean lint from entire

length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged with lint. Replace plastic or metal foil vents with rigid

metal or flexible metal vents. Review "Vent System Chart" and,

if necessary, modify existing vent system to achieve best drying performance.
