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 codes and/or 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.

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 should not be operated with a load less than 66% of its rated capacity.

Warning

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.
