Important Safety Instructions (con 't)
• Do not put oily or greasy rags or clothing on top of the laundry center. These substances give off vapors that could ignite the materials.

• 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 hotwater faucets and letthewater flow from each for several minutes. Thiswill release any accumulated hydrogen gas. Hydrogen
gas is flammable; do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

containing feathers or down. Use Air Fluff (No Heat) only.
• Clean the dryer lint screen before or after each load. The interior of the dryer, lint screen housing and exhaust duct should be cleaned
approximately every 18 months by qualified service personnel. An excessive amount of lint build-up in these areas could result in
inefficient drying and possible fire. See Care and Cleaning.
