IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
• Read all instructions before using the dryer.
• Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in
your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils
may contribute to a chemical reaction that could

• Do not dry articles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable,
or explosive substances as they give off vapors
that could ignite or explode.
• Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer.
Close supervision of children is necessary when
the dryer is used near children.
• Before the dryer is removed from service or dis-
carded, remove the door to the drying compart-
ment.
• Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving.
• Do not install or store the dryer where it will be
exposed to the weather.
• Do not tamper with controls.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer or
attempt any servicing unless specifically recom-
mended in this Use and Care Guide or in published
user-repair instructions that you understand and have
the skills to carry out.
• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate
static unless recommended by the manufacturer of
the fabric softener or product.
• Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber
or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
• Clean lint screen before or after each load.
• Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent
surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint,
dust, and dirt.
