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.

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 Care and

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.
