Important Safety Instructions
Read all instructions before using this appliance
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING–When using this
appliance, always exercise basic
safety precautions, including the
following:
. Use this appliance only for its
intended purpose as described in
this Use and Care Book.
● This dryer must be properly
installed and located in
accordance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used. If
you did not receive an Installation
Instructions sheet with your dryer,
you can obtain one by contacting
the service location nearest you.
- Properly ground to conform
with all governing codes
and ordinances.
- Locate where the temperature is
above 50”F (10”C) for satisfactory
operation of the dryer control
system. Do not install or store
the dryer where it will be
exposed to the weather.
- Connect to a properly rated,
protected and sized powersupply circuit to avoid
electrical overload.
- Exhausting to the outside is
STRONGLY RECOMMENDED
to prevent large amounts of
moisture and lint from being
blown into the room. Carefully
follow the Exhausting Details in
the Installation Instructions. If
your dryer is not exhausted to
the outside, see special instructions on Page 10.
● When disconnecting this
appliance pull by the plug rather
than the cord to avoid damage to
the cord or junction of cord and
plug. Make sure that the cord is
located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over or
otherwise subjected to damage
or stress.
c We strongly recommend that
any servicing be performed by a
qualified individual.
. The wiring diagram for this
machine is located inside the
lower front access panel.
To minimize the possibility
of a fire hazard.
. Do not use heat to dry articles
containing rubber, plastic, or
similar materials (such as padded
bras, tennis shoes, galoshes, bath
mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants,
plastic bags, etc.) as these
materials may melt or burn. Also,
some rubber materials, when
heated, can under certain
circumstances produce fire by
spontaneous combustion.
. Garments labeled “Dry Away
From Heat” (such as life jackets
containing Kapok) must not be put
in your dryer.
. Do not wash or dry articles that
have been cleaned in, washed in,
soaked in, or spotted with
combustible or explosive
substances (such as gasoline,
degreasers, dry-cleaning solvents,
kerosene, etc.) which may give off
vapors that could ignite or
explode. Do not use such
substances around your washer
and/or dryer during operation.
. Any article on which you have
used a cleaning solvent, or which
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 all traces of these
flammable liquids or solids and
their fumes 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.
c Clean the lint filter before each
load to prevent lint accumulation
inside the dryer or in the room. DO
NOT OPERATE THE DRYER WITH-
OUT THE LINT FILTER IN PLACE.
● Keep area around and under-
neath your appliance free from
the accumulation of combustible
materials, such as lint, paper, rags,
chemicals, etc.
To minimize the possibility of
injury.
● Never reach into the dryer while
the drum is moving. Before loading,
unloading or adding clothes, wait
until the drum has completely
stopped.
● Close supervision is necessary if
this appliance is used by or near
children. Do not allow children to
play inside, on or with this appliance
or any discarded appliance.
Dispose of discarded appliances
and shipping or packing materials
properly. Before discarding a dryer,
or removing from service, remove
the door of the drying
compartment.
. Keep all laundry aids (such as
detergents, bleaches, fabric softeners, etc.) out of the reach of
children, preferably in a locked
cabinet. Observe ail warnings
on container labels to avoid
personal injury.
● Keep the floor around your
appliances clean and dry to reduce
the possibility of slipping.
● Do not dry fiberglass articles in
your dryer. Skin irritation could
result from the remaining glass
particles that may be picked up
by clothing during subsequent
dryer uses.
. The laundry process can reduce
the flame retardancy of fabrics. To
avoid such a result, the garment
manufacturer’s care instructions
should be followed very carefully.
● Never climb on or stand on the
dryer top or door.
QTo minimize the possibility of
electric shock, unplug this appliance from the power-supply before
attempting any maintenance or
cleaning (except the removal and
cleaning of the lint filter).
NOTE: Turning the Cycle Selector
to an OFF position does NOT
disconnect the appliance from the
power-supply.

Important Safety Instructions (continued)
. Do not tamper with controls.
. Do not operate this appliance if
it is damaged, malfunctioning,
partially disassembled, or has
missing or broken parts, including
a damaged cord or plug.
Dryer-Applied Fabric Softeners
or Antistatic Conditioners
You may wish to soften your
laundered fabrics or reduce the
static electricity in them. 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 drye~ Some of these
dryer-added softeners/conditioners have been found to cause:
● Clogging of lint filter, restricting
air flow necessary for the proper
functioning of the dryer.
s Coating of dryness sensors (on
dryers so equipped) which may
result in prolonged or erratic
drying cycles.
. Excessive lint build-up inside
the dryer and in the ducting. Such
lint build-up in the area of the
dryer heat source can possibly
result in ignition of the lint.
