IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
YOUR LAUNDRY AREA
■
Keep the area underneath and around your
appliances free of combustible materials
(lint, paper, rags, etc.), gasoline, chemicals
and other flammable vapors and liquids.
■
Keep the floor around your appliances clean
and dry to reduce the possibility of slipping.
■
Close supervision is necessary if this appliance
is used by or near children. Do not allow children to
play on, with or inside this or any other appliance.
■
Keep all laundry aids (such as detergents, bleaches,
etc.) out of the reach of children, preferably in a
locked cabinet. Observe all warnings on container
labels to avoid injury.
■
Never climb on or stand on the dryer top.
WHEN USING YOUR DRYER
■
Never reach into the dryer while the drum is
moving. Before loading, unloading or adding
clothes, wait until the drum has completely
stopped.
■
Clean the lint filter before each load to prevent lint
accumulation inside the dryer or in the room.
DO
NOT OPERATE THE DRYER WITHOUT THE LINT
FILTER IN PLACE.
■
Do not wash or dry articles that have been
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with
combustible or explosive substances (such as wax,
oil, paint, gasoline, degreasers, dry-cleaning
solvents, kerosene, etc.) which may ignite or
explode. Do not add these substances to the
wash water. Do not use or place these substances
around your washer or dryer during operation.
■
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.
■
Any article on which you have used a cleaning
solvent or that contains flammable materials (such
as cleaning cloths, mops, towels used in beauty
salons, restaurants or barber shops, etc.) must not
be placed in or near the dryer until solvents or
flammable materials have been removed. There
are many highly flammable items used in homes
such as acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline,
kerosene, some household cleaners, some spot
removers, turpentines, waxes, wax removers and
products containing petroleum distillates.
■
The laundry process can reduce the flame
retardancy of fabrics. To avoid such a result,
carefully follow the garment manufacturer’s
care instructions.
■
Do not dry articles containing rubber, plastic, foam
or similar materials such as padded bras, tennis
shoes, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants,
plastic bags, pillows, etc., that may melt or burn.
Some rubber materials, when heated, can under
certain circumstances produce fire by spontaneous
combustion.
■
Do not store plastic, paper or clothing that may
burn or melt on top of the dryer during operation.
■
Garments labeled
Dry Away from Heat
or
Do Not
Tumble Dry
(such as life jackets containing kapok)
must not be put in your dryer.
■
Do not dry fiberglass articles in your dryer.
Skin irritation could result from the remaining
particles that may be picked up by clothing
during subsequent dryer uses.
■
To minimize the possibility of electric shock, unplug
this appliance from the power supply or disconnect
the dryer at the building’s distribution panel by
removing the fuse or switching off the circuit
breaker before attempting any maintenance or
cleaning (except the removal and cleaning of the
lint filter).
NOTE:
Pressing
START, PAUSE
or
POWER
does
NOT
disconnect the appliance from the power
supply.
