WARNING
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
• Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could result in serious injury, death, or property damage.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS WAR NIN G
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch. Do not use any phone in your building.
• Clear the room, building, or area of all occupants.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
• Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
• Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could result in serious injury, death, or property damage.
• Do not install a booster fan in the exhaust duct.
• Install all clothes dryers in accordance with the installation instructions of the manufacturer of your dryer.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion
• Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances. They emit vapors that could ignite or explode. Any material that has been in contact with a cleaning solvent or flammable liquids or solids should not be placed in your 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.
• Do not dry items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-like materials on a heat setting. Heated foam rubber materials can, under certain circumstances, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.

SAFETY & PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
10-Cycle Electric and Gas Dryers

Basic Precautions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1 Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2 Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this User
Guide.
3 Before use, your dryer must be properly installed as described in this guide.
4 Always follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the garment
manufacturer.
5 Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in,
or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
6 Do not use your dryer to dry clothes which have traces of any flammable
substance, such as vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine oil, flammable chemicals, paint thinner, etc., or anything containing wax or chemicals, such as mops and cleaning clothes. Flammable substances may cause the fabric to catch fire by itself.
7 Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids near this or
any other appliance.
8 Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of
children is necessary when the appliance is used near children.
9 When discarding or storing your old clothes dryer, remove the door.
10 Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.
11 Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather
or freezing temperatures.
12 Do not tamper with the controls.
13 Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing
unless it is specifically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.
14 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. To reduce the risk of fire due to contaminated loads, the final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
15 To avoid the risk of fire, unplug the power cord if your dryer is to be left for an
extended period of time, such as during vacations.
16 Packaging material can be dangerous for children. There is a risk of
suffocation! Keep all packaging away from children.
17 Always check the inside of the dryer for foreign objects before loading
laundry. Keep the door closed when not in use.
18 Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless
recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

23 Make sure that pockets are free from small irregularly shaped hard objects and
foreign material (such as coins, knives, and pins). These objects could damage your dryer.
24 Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured
rubber-like materials.
25 Gas leaks may occur in your system, resulting in a dangerous situation.
26 Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone.

Choosing a location

Important to installer: Read the following instructions carefully before installing the dryer. These
instructions should be kept for future reference.
• The dryer is not suitable for installation in a mobile home.
• Remove the door from all discarded appliances to avoid the danger of a child being trapped and suffocating.
• After unplugging a discarded appliance, cut off the power cord.
• Provisions for introduction of outside air into the dryer room. The free area of any opening for the introduction of outside air shall not be less than twice the area of the dryer exhaust outlet.
WAR NIN G: Your dryer must be exhausted to the outside to reduce the risk of fire when installed any place inside the house.
You should locate your dryer where there is enough space at the front for loading the dryer and enough space behind for the exhaust system.
Your dryer is factory-ready for the rear exhaust option. Make sure that the room you install your dryer in has enough fresh air and that
there are no air-flow obstructions. Do not install or store your dryer in an area where it will be exposed to water or
weather. Keep the dryer area clear of combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. Your dryer produces combustible lint. Keep the area around the dryer lint-free.
