To reduce the risk of fi re, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance,
follow basic precautions, including the following:
• Do not open the dryer door during steam cycles.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in a
burn hazard.
• Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned
in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents, or other fl ammable or explosive
substances, as they give o ff vapors that could ignite or
explode. Failure to follow these instructions can result in
fi re or death.
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the ground prong from the power cord. To prevent
personal injury or damage to the dryer, the electrical
power cord must be plugged into a properly
grounded outlet.
• For personal safety, this dryer must be properly
grounded. Failure to do so can result in electrical
shock or injury.
• Refer to the installation instructions in this manual
for speci fi c electrical requirements for your model.
Failure to follow these instructions can create an
electrical shock hazard and/or a fi re hazard.
• This dryer must be plugged into a properly grounded
outlet. Electrical shock can result if the dryer is not
properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and circuit
checked by a quali fi ed electrician to make sure the
outlet is properly grounded. Failure to follow these
instructions can create an electrical shock hazard
and/or a fi re hazard.
• The dryer should always be plugged into its own
individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating
that matches the rating plate. This provides the best
performance and also prevents overloading house
wiring circuits which could cause a fi re hazard from
overheated wires.
• Do not fi ll the steam feeder with gasoline, dry-
cleaning solvents, or other fl ammable or explosive
substances. Failure to follow these instructions can
result in fi re or death.
• Do not touch the steam nozzle in the drum during
or after the steam cycle. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in a burn hazard.
• Do not fi ll the steam feeder with hot water (over
86°F/30°C). Failure to follow these instructions can
result in a burn hazard.
• Never unplug your dryer by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip the plug fi rmly and pull straight
out from the outlet. The power cord can be damaged,
resulting in a risk of fi re and electrical shock.
• Repair or replace immediately all power cords that
have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not
use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end. The power cord can
melt, creating electrical shock and/or fi re hazard.
• When installing or moving the dryer, be careful not
to pinch, crush, or damage the power cord. This will
prevent injury and prevent damage to the dryer from
fi re and electrical shock.
