SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Do not tamper with the controls.

Do not operate this appliance 
if it is damaged, malfunctioning,
partially disassembled, or 
has missing or broken parts,
including a damaged cord 
or plug.

Never climb on or stand on the
dryer top.

DO NOT place items exposed 
to cooking oils in your dryer.
Items contaminated with cooking
oils may contribute to a chemical
reaction that could cause a
clothes load to catch fire.

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 may turn on.

You may wish to soften your 
laundered fabrics or reduce 
the static electricity in them 
by using dryer-applied fabric 
softeners 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 prob-
lems caused by the use of these
products are the responsibility 
of the manufacturers of those
products and are not covered
under the warranty of this 
appliance.
