IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or
personal injury when using your dryer, follow basic safety
precautions, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:
a. Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned
in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, drycleaning solvents, other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or
explode.Any material on which you have used a
cleaning solvent, or which is saturated with flammable
liquids or solids, should not be placed in 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 liquid
household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine,
waxes and wax removers.
b. Items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex
foam) or similarly textured rubber-like materials must
not be dried on a heat setting. Foam rubber materials
when heated, can under certain circumstances produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
3. Do not allow children or pets to play on, in, or in front of
the appliance. Close supervision is necessary when the
appliance is used near children and pets.
4. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the drying compartment.
5. Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.
6. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be
exposed to the weather.
7 . Do not tamper with controls.
8. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or
attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in
published user-repair instructions that you understand and
have the skills to carry out.
9. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static
unless recommended for dryer use by the manufacturer of
the fabric softener or product.
10. Clean the lint screen before or after each load.
11. Keep the area around the exhaust opening and surrounding areas free from lint accumulation, dust and dirt.
12. The interior of the dryer and exhaust duct should be
cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
13. This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the
appliance cord into a receptacle which is not grounded
adequately and in accordance with local and national
codes. See installation instructions for grounding this
appliance.
14. Do not sit on top of the clothes dryer.
15. Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in the dryer.
Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a
chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.
NOTE: Because of continuing product improvements,
reserves the right to change specifications
Inglis
without notice.For complete details,see the Installation
Instructions packed with your product before selecting
cabinetry, making cutouts or beginning installation.
WARNING
Gas leaks may occur in your system and result in a dangerous situation. Gas leaks may not be detected by smell
alone. Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install
an UL approved gas detector. Install and use in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
WARNING
Do not place into your dryer items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable oil or cooking oil. Even after being
washed, these items may contain significant amounts of these oils.The remaining oil can ignite spontaneously.The potential
for spontaneous ignition increases when the items containing vegetable oil or cooking oil are exposed to heat. Heat
sources, such as your clothes dryer, can warm these items, allowing an oxidation reaction in the oil to occur. Oxidation creates heat. If this heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing these kinds of
items may prevent heat from escaping and can create a fire hazard.
All washed and unwashed fabrics that contain vegetable oil or cooking oil can be dangerous.Washing these items in hot
water with extra detergent will reduce, but will not eliminate, the hazard. Always use the Cool Down cycle for these items
to reduce the items’ temperature. Never remove these items from the clothes dryer hot or interrupt the drying cycle until
the items have run through the Cool Down cycle. Never pile or stack these items when they are hot.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CLEAN THE LINT FILTER
• After each load.
• To shorten drying time.
• To operate more energy efficiently.
NOTE: Do not operate the dryer without the lint filter in place.
LOAD THE DRYER PROPERLY
• Place only one washload in the dryer at a time.
• Mixed loads of heavy and lightweight clothes will dry differently.
Lightweight clothes will dry, while heavy clothes may be damp.
• Add one or more similar items to the dryer when only one or
two articles need drying. This improves the tumbling action
and drying efficiency.
• Overloading restricts tumbling action, resulting in uneven
drying as well as excessive wrinkling of some fabrics.
