To prevent fire, do not use heat to dry items containing plastic, foam
rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials, or items containing feathers or
down. Use Air Fluff (No Heat) only.

Clean the lint screen before or after each load. The interior of the
dryer, lint screen housing and exhaust duct 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
CleaningCleaning

Cleaning, page 6.

Do not operate the dryer if the lint screen is blocked, damaged or
missing. Fire hazard, overheating and damage to fabrics can occur. If your dryer has
a drying rack, always replace the lint screen when finished using the drying rack.

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

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.

Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire, explosion, serious

Keep laundry products out of children's reach. To prevent personal
injury, observe all warnings on product labels.
