IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS)
1. Read all instructions before using the unit.
2. Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in
the INSTALLATION manual for the proper
grounding of the unit.
3. Do not wash or dry articles that have been
previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or
spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or
other flammable or explosive substances as they
give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
4. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water system that has not been
used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS
IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not
been used for such a period, before using a
washing machine or combination washer-dryer,
turn on all hot water faucets and let the water
flow from each for several minutes. This will
release any accumulated hydrogen gas. The gas is
flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame
during this time.
5. Do not allow children to play on or in the unit.
Close supervision of children is necessary when
the unit is used near children. This is a safety rule
for all appliances.
6. Before the unit is removed from service or
discarded, remove the doors to the washing and
drying compartments.
7. Do not reach into the washer or dryer if the
cylinders are revolving.
8. Do not install or store the unit where it will be
exposed to water and/or weather.
9. Do not tamper with the controls.
10. Do not repair or replace any part of the unit, or
attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in the User-Maintenance
instructions or in published user-repair
instructions that you understand and have the
skills to carry out.
11. 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.
12. Do not use fabric softeners or products to
eliminate static unless recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
13. To reduce the risk of an electric shock or fire, DO
NOT use an adapter to connect the unit to the
electrical power source.
14. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT DRY plastics
or articles containing foam rubber or similarly
textured rubberlike materials.
15. ALWAYS clean the lint filter after every load. A
layer of lint in the filter reduces drying efficiency
and prolongs drying time.
16. Keep area around the exhaust opening and
adjacent surrounding area free from the
accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.
17. The interior of the dryer and the exhaust duct
should be cleaned periodically by qualified
service personnel.
18. If not installed, operated and maintained in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
or if there is damage to or mishandling of this
product’s components, use of this product could
expose you to substances in the fuel or from fuel
combustion which can cause death or serious
illness and which are known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
19. Washer and dryer will not operate with the
loading door open. DO NOT by-pass the door
safety switches by permitting the washer or dryer
to operate with the doors open. The washer and
dryer will stop tumbling when the doors are
opened. Do not use the washer or dryer if they do
not stop tumbling when the doors are opened or
start tumbling without pressing the START
mechanisms. Remove the unit from use and call
the service person.
20. Do not put articles soiled with vegetable or
cooking oil in the washer or dryer. Due to the oil,
the fabric may catch on fire by itself.
21. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT put clothes
which have traces of any flammable substances
such as machine oil, flammable chemicals,
thinner, etc., or anything containing wax or
chemicals such as in mops and cleaning cloths, or
anything dry-cleaned at home with a dry-
cleaning solvent in the dryer.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons when using your dryer,
follow these basic precautions: W034

the exhaust air or exhaust pipe should be warm.
(Gas Dryers)
During the gas heat check, observe the burner flame. The
flame can be viewed by removing the lower front panel of
the dryer.
Metered Models
Set FABRIC SELECTOR switch at NORMAL. Place
coins in the slide and carefully push slide in as far as
possible. IN USE light will come on indicating the dryer
is ready to operate. Close the loading door and press the
PUSH-TO-START button firmly. The dryer will start, the
igniter will glow red and the main burner will ignite.
IMPORTANT: If all air is not purged out of the gas
line, the gas igniter may go off before the gas is
ignited. If this happens, after approximately two
minutes the igniter will again attempt gas ignition.
After dryer has operated for approximately five minutes,
observe burner flame. Adjust the air shutter to obtain a
soft, uniform blue flame. (A lazy, yellow tipped flame
indicates lack of air. A harsh, roaring, very blue flame
indicates too much air.) Adjust the air shutter as follows:
1. Loosen the air shutter lockscrew.
2. Turn the air shutter to the left to get a luminous
yellow tipped flame, then turn it back slowly to the
right to obtain a steady soft blue flame.
3. After the air shutter is adjusted for proper flame,
tighten the air shutter lockscrew securely.
4. Reinstall the lower front panel.

Water Supply Requirements
NOTE: Water supply faucets must fit standard 3/4
inch (19.1 mm) female garden hose couplings.
DO NOT USE SLIP-ON OR CLAMP-ON
CONNECTIONS.
NOTE: Water supply faucets should be readily
accessible to permit turning them off when washer is
not being used.
Water Temperature
Cold:
Recommended cold water temperature is 60° to 80°
Fahrenheit, 16° to 27° Celsius.
Hot:
Recommended hot water temperature is 120° to 140°
Fahrenheit, 49° to 60° Celsius.
Warm:
Mixture of hot and cold water. (Warm water temperature
is dependent upon the water temperature and the pressure
of both the hot and cold water supply lines.)
IMPORTANT: Turn off water supply faucets after
check-out and demonstration. Owner should turn off
water supply whenever there will be an extended
period of non-use.
NOTE: Longer inlet hoses are available (as optional
equipment at extra cost) if the hoses (supplied with
the washer) are not long enough for the installation.
Order hoses as follows:
No. 20617 Inlet Hose (8 foot) (2.44m)
No. 20618 Inlet Hose (10 foot) (3.05m)
Water Pressure
Pressure must be a minimum of 20 to a maximum of 120
pounds per square inch (138 to 827 kPa) static pressure
measured at the faucet.
NOTE: Water pressure under 20 pounds per square
inch (138 kPa) will cause an extended fill time in the
washer and may not properly flush out the detergent
dispenser.
Risers
Risers (or air cushions) may have to be installed if the
pipes knock or pound when flow of water stops. The
risers are more efficient when installed as close as
possible to the water supply faucets (see illustration
below).
. . .
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may
be produced in a hot water system that has
not been used for two weeks or more.
HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot
water system has not been used for such a
period and 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. The
gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an
open flame during this time. W029
