Important Safety Notice & Warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the
Governor of California to publish a list of substances
known to the State of California to cause cancer or
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn cus
tomers of potential exposures to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the burn
ing of gas can result in low-level exposure to some of
the listed substances, including benzene, formaldehyde
and soot, due primarily to the incomplete combustion of
natural gas or liquid petroleum (LP) fuels. Exhaust
ducts should be kept free of obstructions and properly
exhausted dryers will minimize exposure.
^WARHÊNG — For your safety, the
information in this manual must be fol
lowed to minimize the risk of fire or explo
sion or to prevent property damage, per
sonal injury or death.

Important Safety Instructions
A WARNING — To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons when using
your appliance, follow basic 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, dry-cleaning 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 high
ly flammable items used in homes, such as: ace
tone, 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 sponta
neous combustion.
3. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance.
Close supervision of children is necessary when the
appliance is used near children.
4. Before the appliance is removed from service or dis
carded, remove the door to the drying compartment.
3. Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is mov
ing.
11. Keep the area around the exhaust opening and sur
rounding 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 instruc
tions for grounding this appliance.
14. Do not sit on top of the clothes dryer.
A WJUiNING — 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 veg
etable 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.
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 recom
mended 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.
Save These Instructions
All washed and unwashed fabrics that con
tain vegetable oil or cooking oil can be dan
gerous. 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.
