Read these Laundry Instruc-
tions for important use and
safety information before using
your ThinTwin.
l
NEVER wash or dry items cleaned,
washed, soaked in or spotted with
wax, paint, gasoline or flammable
fluids in the ThinTwin. The fumes
can create a FIRE HAZARD or EX-
PLOSION. ALWAYS hand launder
and air dry fabrics containing these
materials.
l

Twin. Close supervision of children is
necessary when the ThinTwin is
used near children.

When discarding an old ThinTwin,
ALWAYS remove the lid and door to
prevent accidental entrapment.

all the motion stops. If the lid is
opened while the washer basket is
spinning, the basket will automati-
tally stop in a few seconds.
l
DO NOT install or store ThinTwin
where it will be exposed to the
weather.
l
DO NOT tamper with the controls,
You are responsible
for making sure that your
ThinTwin is installed, repaired
and parts replaced by a
qualified person.
l
NEVER use or store flammable
fluids (dry-cleaning solvents,
gasoline, kerosene) in or near your
ThinTwin. Do not add flammable
fluids to the wash water. These
substances give off vapors that
can create a FIRE HAZARD or
EXPLOSION.
l
Use only dryer fabric softeners
specifically labeled as not being
harmful to the dryer.
l
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.
l
Clean lint screen before or after
each load.
l
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.

chemicals, etc. pile up around or
