Hitachi BD-SG100CJ Operating & Installation Instructions Manual page 3

Installation
 Do not install the washer dryer in damp locations, such as a bathroom, or in locations
exposed to rain.
Doing so may cause electrical shock or electrical leakage and result in fire.
 Do not install the washer dryer on a wheeled platform or other unstable surface.
Doing so may cause the washer dryer to move or fall over by vibration during operations.
 Carpet must not obstruct the openings for washer dryers with ventilation openings in the
base.
 Lint must not to be allowed to accumulate around the tumble dryer.
 The washer dryer must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door
with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the tumble dryer, in such a way that a full
opening of the tumble dryer door is restricted.
Laundry and detergent
 Do not dry clothes to which vegetable oil, animal oil, machine oil, dry-cleaning oil,
cosmetic oil (massage oil, beauty treatment oil, etc.), benzene, thinner, gasoline, or resin
(cellulose) has adhered, or clothes made of polypropylene fiber, even after washing. In
addition, do not dry items that contain sponge-like materials.
Doing so may cause natural combustion of the oil and materials.
 Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.
 Do not add excessive amount of detergent.
Use the recommended amounts of detergent, referring to the detergent indicator. Failure to do so
may cause excessive foaming and malfunction of the washer dryer, and result in leakage of water
and foam from the washer dryer or drain outlet and electrical shock.
During and after operation
 Do not insert your hand into the laundry until the drum stops spinning completely.
Your hand may get caught in the laundry and injuries may result, even during gentle spinning. In
particular, keep children away during operation.
 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.
When near the washer dryer
 Keep flammable materials away from the drum.
(Flammable materials include kerosene, gasoline, benzene, thinner, alcohol, and laundry
on which such substances have adhered.)
Failure to do so may result in fire.
 Keep candles, incense, cigarettes, and other sources of fire away from the washer dryer.
Failure to do so may result in fire.
