hazard or explosion.

ImportantSafetyInstructions
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or in-
jury to persons when using your Thin Twin, fol-
low basic precautions, including the following:
•Read all instructions before
using the Thin Twin.
•NEVER wash or dry items cleaned,
washed, soaked in or spotted with
wax, paint, gasoline or flammable
fluids in the Thin Twin. The fumes
can create aFIRE HAZARD or EX-
PLOSlON. ALWAYS hand launder
and air dry fabrics containing these
materials.
•NEVER allow children to operate,
play with, or crawl inside the Thin
Twin. Close supervision of children is
necessary when the Thin Twin is
used near children.
•When discarding an old Thin Twin,
ALWAYS remove the lid and door to
prevent accidental entrapment.
•NEVER reach into the Thin Twin
until all the motion stops. If the lid is
opened while the washer basket is
spinning, the basket will automati-
cally stop in a few seconds.
•DO NOT install or store Thin Twin
where it will be exposed to the
weather.
•DO NOT tamper with the controls.
•You are responsible for making
sure that your Thin Twin is
installed, repaired, and has parts
replaced by a qualified person.
• NEVER use or store flammable
fluids (dry-cleaning solvents,
gasoline, kerosene) in or near your
Thin Twin. Do not add flammable
fluids to the wash water. These
substances give off vapors that
can create a FIRE HAZARD or
EXPLOSION.
• Use only dryer fabric softeners
specifically labeled as not being
harmful tothe dryer.
•FIRE HAZARD and DAMAGE to
materials can resultfrom:
-drying rubber, rubber-like and
heat sensitive materials with heat.
-allowing lintto build-up inside
the dryer or exhaust system -
cleaning should be done by a
qualified person.
• Clean lint screen before or after
each load.
• 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. Toprevent injury or
damage, before using your washer,
turn on all hot water faucets and al-
low water to run for several minutes.
This willallow gases to escape. DO
NOT smoke or use any open flame
near the faucet while it isopen.
•DO NOT let dust, paper, rags, lint,
chemicals, etc. pile up, around or
under the Thin Twin.
• The Thin Twin must be electrically
grounded. See the Installation

not overload the washer or choose a
water level that is too low for your wash
load. For best results with permanent
press clothes, use the LARGE water
level. Reduce wash time when using EX
SMALL or SMALL water level settings.
2. Select water temperature
•Match the water temperature to the
type of fabric and soils being washed.
• The top temperature isthe wash
selection and the bottom temperature
is the rinse selection.

IfYouNeedServiceOrAssistance
Wesuggestyoufollow
thesesteps:
1. Before calling for assistance...
Performance problems often result from
little things you can find and fix yourself
without tools of any kind.
If your washer does not fill:
•Is the power supply cord plugged into
a live circuit with the proper voltage?
•Are both water faucets open?
• Have you checked your home's main
fuses or circuit breaker box?
• Are the water supply hoses kinked?
• Is the Cycle Control Knob set and
pulled out?
If your washer does not spin:
• Is the lid closed?
• Is the power supply cord plugged into
a live circuit with the proper voltage?
• Have you checked your home's main
fuses or circuit breaker box?
If your washer drains at the
wrong time:
•The drain hose should be at least 28
inches above the floor and secured.
• The drain hose should not fit tightly in
the drain pipe.
• Make sure that the Cycle Control
Knob is pointing to a number in the
cycle.
Make sure the drain hose is higher
than the water level in the washer.
If it isn't:
• The washer may seem to be draining
during wash and rinse cycles.
• Water can siphon out.
(See Installation Instructions )
If your washer stops during
a cycle:
• Remember, the washer pauses briefly
at different times in each cycle. These
pauses are normal.
If your dryer does not run:
•Is the power supply plugged into a live
circuit with the proper voltage?
•Is the door closed tightly?
• Did you push the START Button?
• Have you checked your home's main
fuses or circuit breaker box?
If your dryer does not heat:
• The FLUFF AIR setting is without
heat.
• The last 5 minutes of the heated cycle
settings are without heat.
• An e_ectric dryer circuit uses 2 break-
ers or 2 fuses. If one breaker is tripped
or one fuse is blown, the dryer may
run, but not heat.
If drying time seems too long:
• Is the gas turned on? If not, turn the
Control Knob to OFE Turn on gas.
Wait 5 minutes. Reset controls and
start.
