WHEN NOT USING YOUR DRYER

Grasp the plug firmly when disconnecting this

appliance to avoid damage to the cord while

pulling. Place the cord away from traffic areas so 

it will not be stepped on, tripped over or

subjected to damage.

Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of 

this appliance or attempt any servicing unless

specifically recommended in this Owner’s Manual

or in published user-repair instructions that you

understand and have the skills to carry out.

Before discarding a dryer, or removing it from

service, remove the dryer door to prevent

children from hiding inside.

Do not tamper with controls.

Never attempt to operate this appliance if it is

damaged, malfunctioning, partially

disassembled, or has missing or broken parts,

including a damaged cord or plug.

The interior of the machine and the exhaust duct

connection inside the dryer should be cleaned at

least once a year by a qualified technician. See the

Loading and Using the Dryer

section. Do not use any

type of spray cleaner when cleaning dryer

interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical shock

could occur.

If yours is a gas dryer, it is equipped with an

automatic electric ignition and does not have a

pilot light. 

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIGHT WITH A

MATCH. 

Burns may result from having your hand

in the vicinity of the burner when the automatic

ignition turns on.

You may wish to soften your laundered fabrics or

reduce the static electricity in them by using a

dryer-applied fabric softener or an anti-static

conditioner. We recommend you use either a

fabric softener in the wash cycle, according to the

manufacturer’s instructions for those products, or

try a dryer-added product for which the

manufacturer gives  written assurance on the

package that their product can be safely used in

your dryer. Service or performance problems

caused by use of these products are the

responsibility of the manufacturers of those

products and are not covered under the warranty

to this appliance.

Read and follow this Safety Information carefully.
