Note: The instructions appearing in this Use and Care Guide are not meant to cover every possible condition and situation that

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow these important Safety Instructions:
•To reduce the riskof fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using this dryer, complywith the basicwarnings listed below.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious oersonal injuries.
Prevent Fire
Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents, kerosene, waxes,
etc. Do not store these items on or near the dryer. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
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.
Do not dry articles containing rubber, plastic or similar materials such as bras, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants,
plastic bags and pillows that may melt or burn. Some rubber materials, when heated, can under certain circumstances produce
fire byspontaneous combustion.
Clean the lint screen before or after each load. The interior of the dryer, lint screen housing and exhaust duct should be cleaned
approximately every 18 months by qualified service personnel. An excessive amount of lint build-up in these areascould result in
inefficient drying and possible fire. SeeCare and Cleaning.
Do not operate the dryer if the lint screen isblocked, damaged or missing. Firehazard, overheating and damage to fabrics can
occur. If your dryer has a drying rack, always replace the lint screen when finished using the drying rack.
- Risk of Fire - A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. The dryer must be connected to an exhaust outdoors. Regularly
inspect the outdoor exhaust opening and remove any accumulation of lint around the outdoor exhaust opening and in the
surrounding area.
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.
Do not spray any type of aerosol into, on or near dryer at any time.
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or
product.

parts of the dryer.
