Important Safety Instructions - Maytag MLE20PD Instrucciones De Instalación

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer/dryer, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
Read all instructions before using the washer/dryer.
n
This dryer is intended only for drying clothes and textiles
n
that have been washed in water. Do not use for any other
purpose.
WARNING: If you smell gas, do not use the dryer or any
n
electrical equipment nearby. Warn other people to clear the
area. Contact the dryer owner immediately.
Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer.
n
Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to
a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.
If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or
n
cooking oil or that have been contaminated by hair care
products be placed in a tumble dryer, they should first be
washed in hot water with extra detergent – this will reduce,
but not eliminate the hazard.
Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously
n
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with petrol,
dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable, or explosive
substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or
explode.
Items that have been soiled with substances such
n
as acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers,
turpentine, waxes, and wax removers should be washed
in hot water with extra detergent before being dried in
the dryer.
Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other
n
flammable, or explosive substances to the wash water.
These substances give off vapors that could ignite or
explode.
Do not dry unwashed items in the dryer.
n
Do not use this dryer if industrial chemicals have been used
n
for cleaning. The possible presence of residual quantities
of aggressive or decomposed chemicals in the load may
produce damage to the dryer and harmful fumes.
Do not allow children to play on or in the washer/dryer.
n
Close supervision of children is necessary when the
washer/dryer is used near children.
This dryer is not intended for use by persons (including
n
children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction concerning use
of the dryer by a person responsible for their safety.
Before the washer/dryer is removed from service
n
or discarded, remove the doors to the washer/dryer
compartments.
Do not reach into the washer/dryer if the tub, agitator
n
or drum is moving.
Do not open door while dryer is in operation. It will stop.
n
When loading or re-loading the dryer, avoid touching hot
n
metal parts of the drum (burn risk).

STACKED WASHER/DRYER SAFETY

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
If drum rotation is blocked due to trapped textiles,
n
disconnect the dryer from the electrical supply before gently
removing the blockage.
If the dryer is not heating, or appears to be defective or
n
damaged, do not use it. Contact the owner.
Do not install or store the washer/dryer where it will be
n
exposed to the weather.
Do not tamper with controls.
n
Clean dryer lint screen before or after each load.
n
Do not use this dryer without the lint screen in place.
n
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced
n
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 hot water faucets and let the water
flow from each for several minutes. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not
smoke or use an open flame during this time.
Do not repair or replace any part of the washer/dryer or
n
attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended
in this Use and Care Guide or in published user-repair
instructions that you understand and have the skills to
carry out.
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static
n
unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric
softener or product.
Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber
n
or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat
n
(cool-down cycle) to ensure that the articles are left at a
temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.
WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end
n
of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and
spread out so that the heat is dissipated. (Avoids risk of
spontaneous combustion).
In case of electrical supply failure, remove the load quickly
n
and spread it out to avoid risk of spontaneous combustion.
Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent
n
surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust,
and dirt.
The fresh air ventilation openings into the room and into
n
the dryer must not be blocked or sealed.
Emergency stop control: The mains plug should be removed
n
in an emergency.
The interior of the dryer and dryer exhaust vent should be
n
cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
