Important Safety Instructions Con't

Avoid fire hazard or electrical shock. Do not use an adaptor plug or extension cord or remove grounding prong from

electrical power cord. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire or death.

Note: The instructions appearing in this Use and Care Guide are not meant to cover every possible condition and situation that may occur. Common sense and caution must be practiced when installing, operating and maintaining any appliance.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow these Important Safety Instructions:

• To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using this dryer, comply with the basic warnings listed below.

• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

• - Risk of Fire - A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. The dryer must be connected to an exhaust outdoors. Regularly

inspect the outdoor exhaust opening and remove any accumulation of lint around the outdoor exhaust opening and in the surrounding area.

• 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 bodily injury and/or damage to the rubber or plastic parts of the dryer.

Protect Children

• Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is used near children.

As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances.

• Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing materials after the dryer is unpacked. Children might use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers.

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

• Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded, remove the dryer door to prevent accidental entrapment.

• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
