WATER HEATER SAFETY
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in
a water heater that has not been used for two weeks or
more. Hydrogen gas can be explosive under these circum-
stances.
If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more,
prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning on all
hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several min-
utes. Do this before using any electrical appliance which is
connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will
allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is
flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or appliance
during this process.
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this Use & Care Guide and your appliance. Always read and
obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING".

PROPER INSTALLATION
This appliance must be properly installed and located in ac-
cordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.
•Properly ground appliance to conform with all governing
codes and ordinances. Follow details in Installation Instruc-
tions.
•Install or store where it will not be exposed to temperatures
below freezing or exposed to the weather, which could
cause permanent damage and invalidate the warranty.
•Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized power
supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.
•Remove all sharp packing items and dispose of all shipping
materials properly.
Exhaust/Ducting
1. Dryers MUST be exhausted to the outside.
2. Use only rigid metal 4” diameter ductwork inside the
dryer cabinet. Use only UL approved rigid metal or flex-
ible metal 4” diameter ductwork for exhausting to the out-
doors. Never use plastic or other combustible, easy-to-
puncture ductwork.
For complete details, follow the Installation Instructions in this
Use & Care Guide.
WARNING!
YOUR LAUNDRY AREA
•Keep the area underneath and around your appliances free
of combustible materials, (lint, paper, rags, etc.), gasoline,
chemicals and other flammable vapors and liquids.
•Keep the floor around your appliances clean and dry to re-
duce the possibility of slipping.
•Keep all laundry aids (such as detergents, bleaches, etc. )
out of the reach of children, preferably in a locked cabinet.
Observe all warnings on container labels to avoid injury.
• Never climb on or stand on this stacked unit Laundry Cen-
ter.
•Do not allow anyone, in particular children, to climb on,

WHEN USING YOUR APPLIANCE
• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as de-
scribed in this Use & Care Guide.
•Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as
vinegar and/or rust remover. Mixing different chemicals
can produce a toxic gas which may cause death.
• Never attempt to operate this appliance if it is damaged,
malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or has missing or
broken parts, including a damaged cord or plug.
• Never reach into the appliance while it is moving. Before
loading, unloading or adding clothes, wait until the machine
has completely stopped.
•Clean the lint filter before each load to prevent lint accu-
mulation inside the dryer or in the room. DO NOT OPER-
ATE THE DRYER WITHOUT THE LINT FILTER IN PLACE.
• Do not wash or dry articles that have been cleaned in,
washed in, soaked in or spotted with combustible or explo-
sive substances (such as wax, oil, paint, gasoline, degreas-
ers, dry-cleaning solvents, kerosene, etc. ). These substances
give off vapors that may ignite or explode. Do not add
these substances to the wash water. Do not use or place
these substances around the dryer during operation.
•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 clothes load to catch
fire.
• Any article on which you have used a cleaning solvent or
that contains flammable materials (such as cleaning cloths,
mops, towels used in beauty salons, restaurants or barber
shops, etc.) must not be placed in or near the dryer until
solvents or flammable materials have been removed. There
are many highly flammable items used in homes such as
acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some
household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentines, waxes,
wax removers and products containing petroleum distillates.
•The laundry process can reduce the flame retardancy of
fabrics. To avoid such a result, carefully follow the garment
manufacturer’s care instructions.
•Do not dry articles containing rubber, plastic or similar ma-
terials such as padded bras, tennis shoes, galoshes, bath
mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants, plastic bags, pillows, etc. that
may melt or burn. Some rubber materials, when heated,
can under certain circumstances produce fire by spontane-
ous combustion.
•Do not store plastic, paper or clothing that may burn or
melt on top of the dryer during operation.

66
66

• Garments labeled Dry Away from Heat or Do Not Tumble
Dry (such as life jackets containing Kapok) must not be put
in your dryer. Do not dry fiberglass articles in your dryer.
Skin irritation could result from the remaining particles that
may be picked up by clothing during subsequent dryer
uses.
• To minimize the possibility of electric shock, unplug this ap-
pliance from the power supply or disconnect the appliance
at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or
switching off the circuit breaker before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning (except the removal and cleaning
of the lint filter).
NOTE: Turning the Cycle Selector knob to an off position or
pressing PAUSE does NOT disconnect the appliance from
the power supply.
• The interior of the machine and the exhaust duct connec-
tion inside the dryer should be cleaned at least once a year
by a qualified technician. See the Loading and Using the
Dryer section.
• If yours is a gas dryer, it is equipped with an automatic
electric ignition and does not have a pilot light. DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO LIGHT WITH A MATCH. Burns may result
from having your hand in the vicinity of the burner when
the automatic ignition turns on.
• You may wish to soften your laundered fabrics or reduce
the static electricity in them by using a dryer-applied fabric
softener or an antistatic conditioner.
• We recommend you use either a fabric softener in the
wash cycle, according to the manufacturer’s instructions for
those products, or try a dryer-added product for which the
manufacturer gives written assurance on the package that
the product can be safely used in a dryer. Service or per-
formance problems caused by use of these products are the
responsibility of the manufacturers of those products and
are not covered under the warranty to this appliance.
WHEN NOT IN USE
• Grasp the plug firmly when disconnecting this appliance to
avoid damage to the cord while pulling. Place the cord
away from traffic areas so it will not be stepped on,
tripped over or subjected to damage.
• Turn off water faucets to relieve pressure on hoses and
valves and to minimize leakage if a break or rupture should
occur. Check the condition of the fill hoses; we recommend
changing the hoses every 5 years.
• Before discarding the appliance, or removing it from ser-
vice, remove the washer and dryer lids to prevent children
from hiding inside.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of this appli-
ance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recom-
mended in this Use & Care Guide or in published user-re-
pair instructions that you understand and have the skills to
carry out.
• Do not tamper with controls.

Your washer has a security system that prevents opening the
lid during the spin cycle. The lid lock prevents anyone (espe-
cially children) from reaching into the washer while the bas-
ket is spinning. The lid lock will be released within 5 seconds
after the basket stop spinning. Trying to open the lid while
locked could result in injuries. If the lid does not unlock after
spinning, please contact service.
NOTE: If there is a power outage the lid lock can take 3 min-
utes to release.
Controls
The wash cycle controls the length and intensity of the wash-
ing process. The knob can be turned in either direction. Turn-
ing the Cycle Selector knob after starting a cycle will stop
the washer and reset the cycle to the new selection. Press
START to begin the new cycle selection.
The chart below will help you match the wash cycle setting
with your clothing. The chart is ranked from longest to short-
est cycle time and wash intensity. (Cycles vary by model.)

The Fabric Softener Dispenser
The fabric softener dispenser automatically releases liquid
fabric softener at the proper time during the cycle.
Do not stop the washer during the first spin. This will cause
the dispenser to empty too soon. To use, follow these steps:
1. Make sure dispenser is securely attached to agitator.
2. Use only diluted liquid fabric softener. Pour into dispenser,
using amount recommended on package.

NOTE: Do not pour bleach into FABRIC SOFTENER dispenser.
3. Add water to dispenser until it reaches the maximum fill
line.
4. Select FABRIC SOFTENER button on control panel for
proper dispersion of the fabric softener.
Do not pour anything
into the agitator if the
dispenser is removed.
Cleaning the Fabric Softener Dispenser
1. Remove the dispenser from the top of the agitator.
2. Separate the dispenser cup from the cover by grasping the
top and pushing down on the inside of the cup with your
fingers. Dispenser cup will pop free from the cover.
Separate for cleaning
3. To clean the dispenser, soak both the dispenser cup and
the dispenser cover in the following solution:
• 1 US gallon (3.8 liters) warm water
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy-duty liquid detergent
• 1 cup (240 ml) bleach
4. If necessary, loosen buildup with a clean, soft cloth after
soaking. Do not use a stiff brush; you may roughen the sur-
face of the dispenser.
5. Rinse and reassemble dispenser. Place dispenser back on
the agitator.
Liquid Bleach Funnel
The water fill dilutes liquid chlorine bleach as the washer fills
for the wash cycle.
1. Check clothing care labels for special instructions.
2. Measure liquid bleach carefully, following instructions on
the bottle.
• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto
clothes or into the wash basket.
• Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach funnel.
3 Before starting the washer, pour measured amount of
bleach directly into bleach funnel. Avoid splashing or over-
filling dispenser. If you prefer to use powdered bleach,
add it into the wash basket with your detergent.
• Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such
as vinegar and/or rust remover. Mixing can produce a
toxic gas which may cause death.
NOTE: Do not pour bleach into FABRIC SOFTENER dispenser.

Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering.
Loading the Washer
Load dry items loosely, no higher than the top row of holes in
the washer basket. When loading wet items, make sure you
set the load/water level high enough to allow the items to
move freely. Water level should just cover the clothes. To
add items after washer has started, lift the lid and submerge
additional items next to the agitator.
• Do not wrap long items like sheets or pants around the
agitator.
• Do not wash fabrics containing flammable materials
(waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.).
• Agitation will not start with the lid up.
Proper Use of Detergent
Add detergent and start the washer before adding clothes so
that the detergent can work effectively. Using too little or too
much detergent is a common cause of laundry problems. You
can use less detergent if you have soft water, a smaller load
or a lightly soiled load.
Sorting Wash Loads
Sort by color (whites, lights, colors), soil level, fabric type
(sturdy cottons, easy care, delicates) and whether the fabric
produces lint (terry cloth, chenille) or collects lint (velveteen,
corduroy).

The Exterior
Wipe or dust any spills or washing compounds with a damp
cloth. Dryer control panel and finishes may be damaged by
some laundry pretreatment soil and stain remover products.
Apply these products away from the dryer. The fabric may
then be washed and dried normally. Damage to your dryer
caused by these products is not covered by your warranty.
The Exhaust Hood
Use a mirror to check that the inside flaps of the hood move
freely when operating. Make sure that there is no wildlife
(birds, insects, etc.) nesting inside the duct or hood.
The Exhaust Duct
Inspect and clean the exhaust ducting at least once a year to
prevent clogging. A partially clogged exhaust can lengthen
the drying time.
Follow these steps:
1. Turn off electrical supply by disconnecting the plug from
the wall socket.
2. Disconnect the duct from the dryer.
3. Vacuum the duct with the hose attachment and reconnect
the duct.
The Lint Filter
Clean the lint filter before each use. Slide out the grid that
covers the filter. Run your fingers across the filter. A waxy
buildup may form on the lint filter from using dryer-added
fabric softener sheets. To remove this buildup, wash the lint
screen in warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly and replace.
Do not operate the dryer without the lint filter and grid in
place. Have a qualified technician vacuum the lint from the
dryer once a year.

Venting the Dryer
For the best drying performance, the dryer needs to be prop-
erly vented. The dryer will use more energy and run longer if
it is not vented to the specifications below. Carefully follow
the details on Exhausting in the Installation Instructions.
• Use only rigid metal 4” diameter ductwork inside the
dryer cabinet. Use only rigid metal or UL approved flex-
ible metal 4” diameter ductwork for exhausting to the out-
side.
• Do not use plastic or other combustible ductwork.
• Use the shortest length possible.
• Do not crush or collapse ductwork.
• Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.
• Venting must conform to local building codes.

If you are drying only one or two items, add a few items to en-
sure proper tumbling.
Underloading
Do not put more than one washer load in the dryer at a time.Overloading/combining loads
Replace fuses or reset circuit breakers. Since most dryers use 2
fuses/breakers, make sure both are operating.
Blown fuses or tripped circuit
breaker
Check installation instructions for proper ducting/venting.
Make sure ducting is clean, free of kinks and unobstructed.
Check to see if outside wall damper operates easily.
Check the Installation Instructions to make sure the dryer venting
is correct.
Improper or obstructed ducting
Clean lint filter before every load.Lint filter is full
Match control settings to the load you are drying.Controls improperly set
Large, heavy fabrics contain more moisture and take longer to
dry. Separate large, heavy fabrics into smaller loads to speed
drying time.
Large loads of heavy fabrics (like
beach towels)
Separate heavy items from lightweight items (generally, a well-
sorted washer load is a well-sorted dryer load).
Improper sortingClothes take too
long to dry
Separate large loads into smaller ones.Overloading
Remove items when cycle ends and fold or hang immediately.Letting items sit in dryer after cycle
ends
Select a shorter drying time.
Remove items while they still hold a slight amount of moisture.
Select LESS dry setting.
OverdryingClothes are
wrinkled
To avoid shrinkage, follow garment care labels exactly.
Some items may be pressed back into shape after drying
If you are concerned about shrinkage in a particular item, do not
machine wash or tumble dry it.
Some fabrics will naturally shrink
when washed. Others can be
safely washed, but will shrink in the
dryer

• DO NOT install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic ducting ma-
terials. If flexible metal (semi-rigid or foil-type) duct is installed,
it must be UL listed and installed in accordance with the instruc-
tions found in the section "Connecting The Dryer To House Vent"
on this Use & Care Guide. Flexible venting materials are known
to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will
obstruct dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.
• Do not install or store this appliance in any location where it
could be exposed to water and or weather.
• Save these instructions. (Installers: Be sure to leave these instruc-
tions with the customer).
