IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or death.
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
FOR GAS DRYERS: YOU MUST POST IN A PROMINENT LOCATION
1.Instructions to follow if the user smells gas: Contact your local gas supplier for information to be displayed.
2.Instructions concerning flammable materials as follows:
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act
This act requires the governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.
Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized further by properly venting the dryer to the outdoors.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
YOUR LAUNDRY AREA
■Keep the area underneath and around your appliances free of combustible materials, such as lint, paper, rags, chemicals, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
■Keep the floor around your appliances clean and dry to reduce the possibility of slipping.
■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.
■Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used by or near children. Do not allow children to play on, with, or inside this or any other appliance.
■Keep all laundry aids (such as detergents, bleaches, etc.) out of the reach of children, preferably in a locked cabinet. Observe all warnings on container labels to avoid injury.
■Never climb on or stand on the dryer top.
■Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
WHEN USING YOUR DRYER
■Never reach into the dryer while the drum is moving. Before loading, unloading or adding clothes, wait until the drum has completely stopped.
■Clean the lint filter before each load to prevent lint accumulation inside the dryer or in the room.
DO NOT OPERATE THE DRYER WITHOUT THE LINT FILTER IN PLACE.
■Do not wash or dry articles that have been cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted
with combustible or explosive substances (such as wax, oil, paint, gasoline, degreasers, dry-cleaning solvents, kerosene, etc.) which may ignite or explode. Do not add these substances to the wash water. Do not use or place these substances around your washer or dryer during operation.
■Any article on which you have used a cleaning solvent or that contains flammable materials (such as cleaning cloths, mops, towels used in beauty salons, restaurants, or barber shops, etc.) must not be placed in or near the dryer until solvents or flammable materials have been removed. There are many highly flammable items used in homes such as acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentines, waxes, wax removers and products containing petroleum distillates.
■The laundry process can reduce the flame retardancy of fabrics. To avoid such a result, carefully follow the garment manufacturer’s care instructions.
■Do not dry articles containing rubber, plastic, or similar materials such as padded bras, tennis
shoes, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants, plastic bags, pillows, etc. that may melt or burn. Some rubber materials, when heated, can under certain circumstances produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
■Do not store plastic, paper or clothing that may burn or melt on top of the dryer during operation.
■Garments labeled Dry Away from Heat or
Do Not Tumble Dry (such as life jackets containing Kapok) must not be put in your dryer.
■Do not dry fiberglass articles in your dryer. Skin irritation could result from the remaining particles that may be picked up by clothing during subsequent dryer uses.
■To minimize the possibility of electric shock, unplug this appliance from the power supply or disconnect the dryer at the distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker before attempting any maintenance
or cleaning (except the removal and cleaning of the lint filter). NOTE: Turning the Cycle Selector knob to an off position does NOT disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
■Do not spray any type of aerosol into, on or near dryer at any time.
■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.

■Never attempt to operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially
disassembled, or has missing or broken parts, including a damaged cord or plug.
■The interior of the machine and the exhaust duct connection inside the dryer should be cleaned at least once a year by a qualified technician. See the Care and Cleaning section. Do not use any type of spray cleaner when cleaning dryer interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could occur.
■If yours is a gas dryer, it is equipped with an automatic electric ignition and does not have a pilot light. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIGHT WITH A MATCH. Burns may result from having your hand in the vicinity of the burner when the automatic ignition turns on.
■You may wish to soften your laundered fabrics or reduce the static electricity in them by using a dryer-applied fabric softener or an anti-static conditioner. We recommend you use either a fabric softener in the wash cycle, according to the manufacturer’s instructions for those products, or try a dryer-added product for which the manufacturer gives written assurance on the package that their product can be safely used in your dryer. Service or performance problems caused by use of these products are the responsibility of the manufacturers of those products and are not covered under the warranty to this appliance.
WHEN NOT USING YOUR DRYER
■Grasp the plug firmly when disconnecting this appliance to avoid damage to the cord while pulling. Place the cord away from traffic areas so it will not be stepped on, tripped over or subjected to damage.
■Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of this appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in this Owner’s Manual or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.
■Before discarding a dryer, or removing it from service, remove the dryer door to prevent children from hiding inside.
■Do not tamper with controls.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

Care and cleaning.
Care and Cleaning of the Dryer
The Exterior: Wipe or dust any spills or washing compounds with a damp cloth. Dryer control panel and finishes may be damaged by some laundry pretreatment soil and stain remover products. Apply these products away from the dryer. The fabric may then be washed and dried normally. Damage to your dryer caused by these products is not covered by your warranty.
The Lint Filter: Clean the lint filter before each use. Run your fingers across the back of the filter to remove lint. Do not operate the dryer without the lint filter in place.
Have a qualified technician vacuum the lint from the dryer once a year.
The Exhaust Duct: Inspect and clean the exhaust ducting at least once a year to prevent clogging. A partially clogged exhaust can lengthen the drying time.
Follow these steps:
|
Turn off electrical supply by disconnecting the |
|
1 |
||
plug from the wall socket. |
||
|
||
|
Disconnect the duct from the dryer. |
|
2 |
||
|
Vacuum the duct with the hose attachment and |
|
3 |
||
reconnect the duct. |
||
|
The Exhaust Hood: Check with a mirror that the inside flaps of the hood move freely when operating. Make sure that there is no wildlife (birds, insects,
.) nesting inside the duct or hood.
