WARNINGS ABOUT USE AND OPERATION

KEEP SHIELDS, GUARDS AND COVERS IN PLACE. These safety devices are

provided to protect everyone from injury.

From a safety aspect shutting off the gas supply at night would be better than shutting off

the electrical power.

THIS DRYER IS EQUIPPED WITH A MANUALLY RESETTABLE OVER­TEMPERATURE THERMOSTAT located on the end of the burner housing below the gas valve.
Should the dryer cease to heat, reset the thermostat by inserting a wooden (nonconductive)
pencil or dowel through the guide bushing in the cover. Should the thermostat continue to trip,
the dryer must be inspected by a qualified service person.

CHECK THIS THERMOSTAT WHEN INSTALLING DRYER to assure it is not
tripped. Impacts, such as rough handling in shipment, may trip the thermostat. It may be reset by
inserting a wooden (nonconductive) pencil or dowel through the guide bushing in the cover.
