Important Safety Instructions

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your dryer, follow these basic precautions:

W034

1. Read all instructions before using the dryer.

2. Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in the INSTALLATION manual for the proper grounding of the dryer.

3. Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, soaked in, washed in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

4. Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is used near children. This is a safety rule for all appliances.

5. Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the drying compartment.

6. Do not reach into the dryer if the cylinder is revolving.

7. Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to the water and/or weather.

8. Do not tamper with the controls.

9. Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer, or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the User-Maintenance Instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

510988

10. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

11. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT DRY plastics or articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubberlike materials.

Safety Information

12. Always clean the lint filter after every load. A layer of lint in the filter reduces drying efficiency and prolongs drying time.

13. Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding area free from the accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.

14. The interior of the dryer and the exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.

15. Dryer will not operate with the loading door open. DO NOT by-pass the door safety switch by permitting the dryer to operate with the door open. The dryer will stop tumbling when the door is opened. Do not use the dryer if it does not stop tumbling when the door is opened or starts tumbling without pressing or turning the START mechanism. Remove the dryer from use and call the service person.

16. Do not put articles soiled with vegetable or cooking oil in the dryer, as these oils may not be removed during washing. Due to the remaining oil, the fabric may catch on fire by itself.

17. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT put clothes which have traces of any flammable substances such as machine oil, flammable chemicals, thinner, etc., or anything containing wax or chemicals such as in mops and cleaning cloths, or anything dry-cleaned at home with dry-cleaning solvent in the dryer.

18. Use the dryer only for its intended purpose, drying clothes.

19. Always disconnect the electrical power to the dryer before attempting service. Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.

22. Remove laundry immediately after the dryer stops.

23. Always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions on packages of laundry and cleaning aids. Heed all warnings or precautions. To reduce the risk of poisoning or chemical burns, keep them out of reach of children at all times (preferably in a locked cabinet).

24. Do not tumble fiberglass curtains and draperies unless the label says it can be done. If they are dried, wipe out the cylinder with a damp cloth to remove particles of fiberglass.

25. ALWAYS follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the garment manufacturer.

26. Never operate the dryer with any guards and/or panels removed.

27. DO NOT operate the dryer with missing or broken parts.

28. DO NOT by-pass any safety devices.

29. Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this machine according to the manufacturer’s instructions may result in conditions which can produce bodily injury and/or property damage.

NOTE: The WARNING AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS appearing in this manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. Common sense, caution and care must be exercised when installing, maintaining, or operating the dryer.

Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent or the manufacturer about any problems or conditions you do not understand.

20. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.

21. Install this dryer according to the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. All connections for electrical power and grounding must comply with local codes and be made by licensed personnel when required. Do not do it yourself unless you know how!
