IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS)

14. The interior of the dryer and the exhaust duct

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your dryer, follow these basic precautions:

W034

1. Read all instructions before using the dryer.

2. Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in the INSTALLATION manual for the proper grounding of the dryer.

3. Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

4. Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is used near children. This is a safety rule for all appliances.

5. Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the drying compartment.

6. Do not reach into the dryer if the cylinder is revolving.

7. Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.

8. Do not tamper with the controls.

9. Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer, 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.

10. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

11. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT DRY plastics or articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubberlike materials.

12. ALWAYS clean the lint filter after every load. A layer of lint in the filter reduces drying efficiency and prolongs drying time.

13. Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding area free from the accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.

should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.

15. 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.

16. Dryer will not operate with the loading door open. DO NOT by-pass the door safety switch by permitting the dryer to operate with the door open. The dryer will stop tumbling when the door is opened. Do not use the dryer if it does not stop tumbling when the door is opened or starts tumbling without pressing the START mechanism. Remove the dryer from use and call the service person.

17. Do not put articles soiled with vegetable or cooking oil in the dryer, as these oils may not be removed during washing. Due to the remaining oil, the fabric may catch on fire by itself.

18. 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 drycleaning solvent in the dryer.

19. Use the dryer only for its intended purpose, drying clothes.

20. Always disconnect the electrical power to the dryer before attempting service. Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.

21. Replace worn power cords and/or loose plugs.

22. Install this dryer according to the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. All connections for electrical power, grounding and gas supply must comply with local codes and be made by licensed personnel when required. Do not do it yourself unless you know how!

23. Remove laundry immediately after the dryer stops.

504524

24. Always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions on packages of laundry and cleaning aids. Heed all warnings or precautions. To reduce the risk of poisoning or chemical burns, keep them out of reach of children at all times (preferably in a locked cabinet).

25. Do not tumble fiber glass curtains and draperies unless the label says it can be done. If they are dried, wipe out the cylinder with a damp cloth to remove particles of fiber glass.

26. ALWAYS follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the garment manufacturer.

27. Never operate the dryer with any guards and/or panels removed.

28. DO NOT operate the dryer with missing or broken parts.

29. DO NOT by-pass any safety devices.

30. Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this machine according to the manufacturer’s instructions may result in conditions which can produce bodily injury and/or property damage.

IMPORTANT: Solvent vapors from dry-cleaning machines create acids when drawn through the heater of the drying unit. These acids are corrosive to the dryer as well as to the laundry load being dried. Be sure make-up air is free of solvent vapors.

IMPORTANT: Have your dryer installed properly. Don’t do it yourself unless you know how!

NOTE: The WARNING and IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS appearing in this manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. Common sense, caution and care must be exercised when installing, maintaining, or operating the dryer.

Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent or the manufacturer about any problems or conditions you do not understand.

Exhaust System Materials

Exhaust system materials are not supplied with the dryer unit.

Exhaust duct must be four inches (10.2 cm) in diameter having no obstructions. Rigid metal duct is recommended. Non-combustible semi-rigid flexible metal duct is acceptable. Do not use plastic pipe or flexible plastic pipe, because it contributes to poor drying performance and collects lint, which can lead to a fire hazard.

DO NOT use sheet metal screws on exhaust pipe joints or other fastening means which extend into the duct that could catch lint and reduce the efficiency of the exhaust system. Secure all joints with duct tape.

NOTE: Kits described above are optional exhaust system materials available at extra cost.

Make-Up Air Requirements

A dryer unit exhausts 214 cfm (measured at back of dryer unit) and sufficient make-up air must be supplied to replace air exhausted by each dryer unit.

An unobstructed opening of at least 40 square inches (260 cm each dryer unit. Protective louvers in the opening to the outdoors can reduce air movement approximately 35 to 40 percent. Be sure the opening is large enough to compensate for any louvers.

If it is necessary to duct make-up air to the dryer unit, increase the area of the ductwork by 25 percent to compensate for any reduction in air movement. In addition, the make-up air duct should extend down to within approximately two feet from the floor, directly behind the dryer unit.
