fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons when using your appliance,
follow basic precautions, including
the following:
Read all instructions before using
the appliance.
Do not repair or replace any part of
the appliance or attempt any
servicing unless specifically
recommended in these operating
instructions. Repairs to electrical
appliances should only be performed
by qualified personnel. Incorrectly
repaired machines may pose a
considerable risk to the user.
Do not dry articles that have been
previously cleaned, washed,
soaked or spotted with gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents or other
flammable or explosive substances.
They may give off vapors that could
ignite or explode.
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
for 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.
Do not use fabric softener sheets
to eliminate static in this dryer. Best
results are achieved when a liquid
softener is used in the washer.
Do not use heat to dry articles
containing foam rubber or similarly
textured rubber-like materials, or items
containing hair spray, nail polish
remover or similar substances.
Clean the lint filter before or after
each load.
Keep the area around the air intake
(toe kick) and adjacent
surrounding areas free from lint, dust
and dirt.
The interior of the machine 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.
This dryer is intended for
residential use only!
