Dryers must be exhausted to the outdoors. Although the manufacturer produces a very versatile dryer,

there are some articles that, due to fabric composition or cleaning method, should not be dried in it.

Do not dry rags or articles coated or contaminated with gasoline, kerosene, oil, paint, or wax. Explosion could result.

Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard and should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

Do not dry mop heads. Contamination by wax or flammable solvents will create a fire hazard.

Do not use heat for drying articles that contain plastic, foam, sponge rubber, or similarly textured rubber materials. Drying in a heated tumbler may damage plastics or rubber and also may be a fire hazard.

A program should be established for the inspection and cleaning of lint in the burner area, exhaust ductwork, and area around the back of the dryer. The frequency of inspection and cleaning can best be determined from experience at each location.

Warning

The collection of lint in the burner area and

!

exhaust ductwork can create a potential fire

hazard.

For personal safety, the dryer must be electrically grounded in accordance with local and/or country codes. In the absence of these codes use the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST EDITION or in Canada, the Canadian Electrical Codes Parts 1 & 2 CSA C22.1-1990 or LATEST EDITION.

Note

Failure to electrically ground the dryer properly will

!

void the warranty.

Personal injury or fire could result should the dryer

!

door switch, lint door/drawer, or heat safety circuit

ever be disabled.

Remove articles from the dryer as soon as the drying cycle has been completed.

Warning

Articles left in the dryer after the drying and cooling

!

cycles have been completed can create a fire

hazard.

For safety, proper operation, and optimum performance, the dryer must not be operated with a load less than 66% of its rated capacity.

Warning

You must disconnect and lockout the electric

!

supply and the gas supply before any covers or guards are removed from the machine to allow access for cleaning, adjusting, installation, or testing of any equipment per OSHA standards.

Important

The dryer must be installed in a location/

!

environment, which the ambient temperature remains between 40° F (4.44° C) and 130° F (54.44° C).

The operation of this appliance may affect the operation of other types of gas appliances, which take their air for safe combustion from the same room. If in doubt, consult the appliance manufacturer(s).

Use this dryer only for its intended purpose, drying fabrics. The “Cool Down” Cycle of tumble dryers should be used to

reduce the temperature of the items. They should not be removed from the tumble dryer or piled or stacked while hot.

Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity, unless this practice is specifically recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
