STACKED WASHER/DRYER SAFETY
iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS
WAR N I NG:
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.
[] This dryer is intended only for drying clothes and textiles
that have been washed in water. Do not use for any other
purpose.
[] WARNING: If you smell gas, do not use the dryer or any
electrical equipment nearby. Warn other people to clear the
area. Contact the dryer owner immediately.
[] 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.
[]
If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or
cooking oil or that have been contaminated by hair care
products be placed in a tumble dryer, they should first be
washed in hot water with extra detergent - this will reduce,
but not eliminate the hazard.
[] Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with petrol,
dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable, or explosive
substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or
explode.
[] Items that have been soiled with substances such
as acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers,
turpentine, waxes, and wax removers should be washed
in hot water with extra detergent before being dried in
the dryer.
[] 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 dry unwashed items in the dryer.
[] Do not use this dryer if industrial chemicals have been used
for cleaning. The possible presence of residual quantities
of aggressive or decomposed chemicals in the load may
produce damage to the dryer and harmful fumes.
[] 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.
[] This dryer is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction concerning use
of the dryer by a person responsible for their safety.
[] 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 open door while dryer is in operation. It will stop.
[] When loading or re-loading the dryer, avoid touching hot
metal parts of the drum (burn risk).
[] If drum rotation is blocked due to trapped textiles,
disconnect the dryer from the electrical supply before gently
removing the blockage.
[] If the dryer is not heating, or appears to be defective or
damaged, do not use it. Contact the owner.
[] 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.
[] Do not use this dryer without the lint screen in place.
[] 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 washer, 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.
[] The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat
(cool-down cycle) to ensure that the articles are left at a
temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.
[] WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end
of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and
spread out so that the heat is dissipated. (Avoids risk of
spontaneous combustion).
[] In case of electrical supply failure, remove the load quickly
and spread it out to avoid risk of spontaneous combustion.
[] Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent
surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust,
and dirt.
[] The fresh air ventilation openings into the room and into
the dryer must not be blocked or sealed.
[] Emergency stop control: The mains plug should be removed
in an emergency.
[] The interior of the dryer and dryer exhaust vent should be
cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
[] See "Electrical Requirements" section of the Installation
Instructions booklet for grounding instructions.
