Important Safety Information

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT WARNING

DANGER: Risk of child entrapment. Before thowing away an old appliance:

• Remove the door or lid.

• Leave the shelves in place so that children cannot easily climb into the appliance.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current.

This appliance is equipped with a cord that has a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The power cord must be plugged into an outlet that is properly grounded. If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your responsibility to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. The serial rating plate indicates the voltage and frequency the appliance is designed for.

WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualiﬁ ed electrician or service agent if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

Ensure that component parts are replaced with like components and that servicing is done by factory authorized service personnel, to minimize the risk of possible ignition due to incorrect parts or improper service.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental capabilities may be different or reduced, or who lack experience or knowledge, unless such persons receive supervision or training to operate the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in the dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch ﬁ re. To reduce the risk of ﬁ re due to contaminated loads, the ﬁ nal part of a tumble dry cycle occurs without heat as a cool down period. Avoid stopping the dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless items can be immediately removed and spread out to allow the accumulated heat to dissipate.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD

Do not connect your appliance to extension cords or together with another appliance in the same wall outlet. Do not splice the power cord. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord.

If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualiﬁ ed person in order to avoid hazard.

Items that have been soiled with oil products can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch ﬁ re. Piling, stacking or storing items that have been soiled with oil can prevent heat from escaping and create a ﬁ re hazard.
