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 applimnce 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.

,_ WARNING _ 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.

- 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

• Do not try to light any appliance.

Do not touch any electrical switch;

do not use any phone in your build-

ing.

• 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 suppli-

er, call the fire department.

Installation and service must I_e per-

formed by a qualified installer, service

agency or the gas supplier.

important Safety Instructions ..... o°...... ,°o......... °..........

,_ WARNING _ To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons when using

your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

Read all instructions before using the appliance.

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 flammaable 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.

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.

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.

5. Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is mov-

ing.

10.

Do not install or store this appliance where it will be

exposed to the weather.

Do not tamper with controls.

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.

Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate

static unless recommended for dryer use by the

manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

Clean the lint screen before or after each load.

• Keep the area around the exhaust opening and sur- 7; i:::;

rounding_, areas free from lint accumulation, dust and !

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.

_k 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 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.

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 thi3

items have run through the "cool down"

cycle. Never pile or stack these items when

they are hot.
