INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement 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 fuels. Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized further by properly venting the dryers to the outdoors.

W~ING—To reduee

of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your

apptice, fo~ow

basic 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 Instigation Instructions before it is used.

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. Follow details in Installation Instructions.

—Locate where the temperature is above

50°F. (lO°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 power-supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.

Instructions.

●

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.

●

Do not repair or replace any

part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in this Use and Care Book or in published

user-

repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

To minimize the possibility of a fire

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

melt or burn. Also, some rubber

materbds,

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

h~rd.

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.

●

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.

Clean the lint filter each time the dryer is used. Always be sure the lint filter is in place. Don’t use the dryer without it.
