To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:

a. Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned in,washed in,

soaked in, or spored with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other

flammable or explosive substances asthey 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 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.

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

spontaneous combustion.

3. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance.
Close supervision of children is necessary when the

6. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be
exposed to the weather.

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 customers of potential
exposures to such substances.

Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the burning
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.

7. Do not tamper with controls.

& Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or

attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended

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

PERATING TIPS

After each load.
To shorten drying time.

To operate more energy efficiently.

By placing only one wash load in the dryer at a time.
Avoid very small loads or mixing heavyweight and lightweight
clothes.

When only one or two articles need drying, add a few similar items
to improve tumbling and drying efficiency.

When drying large, bulky items such as a blanket or comforter, it
may be necessary to reposition the load during the cycle to ensure

even drying.

After loading the dryer.
To control static cling.

Before the load becomes warm.This helps prevent greasy-looldng
softener stains.

And remove any used softener sheets from the dryer to prevent
greasy-looldng softener stains.
