 Do not operate the dryer if the lint screen is blocked, damaged or

missing. Fire hazard, overheating and damage to fabrics can occur. If your dryer has
a drying rack, always replace the lint screen when finished using the drying rack.

 Keep area around the exhaust opening and surrounding areas free

from the accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.

 Do not obstruct the flow of ventilating air. Do not stack or place

laundry or throw rugs against the front or back of the laundry center.

 Do not spray any type of aerosol into, on or near laundry center at

any time.

 Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless

recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire, explosion,

serious bodily injury and/or damage to the rubber or plastic parts of the laundry
center.

Protect Children

 Do not allow children to play on or in the laundry center. Close

supervision of children is necessary when the laundry center is used near children.
As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances.

 Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing materials after the

laundry center is unpacked. Children might use them for play. Cartons covered with
rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers.

 Keep laundry products out of children's reach. To prevent personal

injury, observe all warnings on product labels.

 Before the laundry center is removed from service or discarded,

remove the washer lid and dryer door to prevent accidental entrapment.

 Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal

injuries.

Prevent Injury

 To prevent shock hazard and assure stability during operation, the

laundry center must be installed and electrically grounded by a qualified service
person in accordance with local codes. Installation instructions are packed in the
laundry center for the installer's reference. Refer to INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
for detailed grounding procedures. If the laundry center is moved to a new location,
have it checked and reinstalled by a qualified service person.

 Avoid fire hazard or

electrical shock. Do not use an adaptor
plug or extension cord or remove
grounding prong from electrical power
cord. Failure to follow this warning can
cause serious injury, fire or death.
