Important safety instructions
Grounding instructions
A) Grounding instructions for a grounded, cord-connected appliance
In the event of malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by
providing a path of least resistance for electric
current. This appliance (Canadian market only)
is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-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 (Canadian market only). If it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
To reduce the risk of fire, this appliance must be
exhausted outdoors or the equivalent. Do not
exhaust into a chimney, wall, ceiling or concealed
space in a building.
B) Grounding instructions for a permanently connected appliance:
This appliance must be connected to a grounded
metal, permanent wiring system, or an
equipment-grounding conductor must be run with
the circuit conductors and connected to the
equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the
appliance.
NOTE!
This manual does not cover every possible
condition and situation that may occur. Use
common sense and caution when installing,
operating, and maintaining any appliance.

Advice and tips before you tumble dry
Here are some tips that may help you before you
begin tumble drying.
Have the clothes been spun?
Items to be tumble dried should be spun at 1000
rpm or faster. Higher spin speeds save both
energy and drying time.
Materials that can be tumble dried
This symbol means that the material is suitable
for tumble drying. Fabrics best suited to tumble
drying are cotton fabrics, terry cloth, and synthetic
fibers. Garments will be softer and lighter when
tumbled than when hung out to dry.
NOTE!
The tumble dryer does not cause any significant
wear to fabrics. The lint trapped in the lint filter
consists of dust and fiber residues which gather
when the items are used.
Materials that should not be tumble dried
This symbol means that the material is not
suitable for tumble drying. Certain materials may
melt or become a fire hazard if exposed to heat
and others can lose their shape or shrink.
And do not tumble dry
•
materials labeled "Do not dry near heat".
•
garments that have been dry-cleaned at home.
•
plastic foam.
•
fiberglass material.
•
wool must not be tumble dried due to the risk
of piling.
Static electricity
To reduce the risk of static electricity in the laundry
after tumble drying, you can:
•
Use fabric softener when washing.
•
Wait five minutes after the drying program ends
before opening the door and removing the
laundry from the dryer.
NOTE!
If the door is opened during the program, the
program will be interrupted and will return to the
start. The clothes may be too damp or too dry
as a result.
