IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - To reduce the risk of
,
fire, electric shock, or injury when
using your appliance, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
Read all instructions before using
the appliance.
Do not dry articles that have been
previously cleaned, washed,
soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents, or other
flammable or explosive substances.
They give off vapors that could ignite or
explode.
Do not use fabric softener sheets
to eliminate static in the dryer. Best
results occur when a liquid softener is
used in the washing machine.
Do not use heat to dry articles
containing foam rubber or similarly
textured rubber-like materials and items
containing, hairspray, nail polish
remover or similar substances.
Clean the lint filter before or after
each load.
Keep the area around the air intake
(toekick) and adjacent surrounding
areas free from lint, dust and dirt.
Do not allow children to play on or
in the appliance. Close supervision
is necessary when the appliance is
used near children. Always close the
door after use to prevent child hazards.
Before this appliance is removed
from service or discarded remove
the door to the drying compartment.
Do not reach into the dryer if the
drum is moving.
Do not install or store this
appliance where it will be exposed
to the weather.
Do not tamper
with the controls.
The interior of the machine and
exhaust duct should be cleaned
periodically by qualified personnel.
Do not place items exposed to oils
in your dryer. Items contaminated
with oils may contribute to a chemical
reaction that could cause the laundry to
catch fire.

grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING – Improper connection
of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service representative or
personnel if you are in doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly
grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided
with the appliance: if it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
