PREVENT FIRE
• Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned in,
soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents,
kerosene, waxes, etc. Do not store these items on or near
the dryer. These substances give off vapors that could ignite
or explode.
• Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items
contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical
reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.
• Do not dry articles containing rubber, plastic or similar materials
such as bras, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants, plastic bags and pillows that may melt or burn. Some rubber materials, when heated, can under certain circumstances produce fire
by spontaneous combustion.
• Do not use heat to dry items containing feathers or down,
foam rubber, plastics similarly textured, rubber-like materials.
• Clean the lint screen before or after each load. The interior of
the dryer, and lint screen housing should be cleaned approximately every 18 months by qualified service personnel. An
excessive amount of lint build-up in these areas could result
in inefficient drying and possible fire. See Care and Cleaning.
• Do not operate the dryer if the lint screen is blocked, damaged or missing. Fire hazard, overheating and damage to
fabrics can occur.
• Do not obstruct the flow of ventilating air. Do not stack or
place laundry or throw rugs against the front or back of the
dryer.
• Do not spray any type of aerosol into, on or near dryer at any
time.
• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener
or product.
• Do not continue to use the dryer is you hear squeaking,
grinding, rubbing or other unusual noises. This could be a
sign of mechanical breakdown and lead to fire or serious
injury. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire,
explosion, serious bodily injury and/or damage to the rubber
or plastic parts of the dryer.

Normal Operating Sounds
You may or may not hear the following sounds from your new
dryer:
A. SUSPENSION ROLLERS The dryer drum is supported
by a set of suspension rollers. At times there may be a
thumping or rolling sound when the dryer starts. This may
happen if the dryer has not been in use for a period of time,
or after a heavy load has remained in the dryer drum for an
extended period, creating a temporary flat spot on the edge
of the roller. The noise should dissipate as the dryer operates
and the flat spots smooth out.
B. AIR FLOW SYSTEM Your dryer is equipped with a high
volume air handling system. In some installations there may
be some sounds associated with air movement throughout
the dryer. This is normal and can vary with load size and
type.
CAUTION
Do not continue to use the dryer if you hear squeaking,
grinding, rubbing or other unusual noises. This could be a
sign of mechanical breakdown and lead to fire or serious
injury. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
IMPORTANT
If installed in a closet the dryer will not function correctly with the door in the closed position. This condensation process requires
access to cool air from the room. The unit must only be operated with the door in the open position to allow correct air circulation.
