or attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in the user-maintenance
instructions or published user-repair instructions
that you understand and have the skills to carry
out.
• Keep the area underneath and around your
appliances free of combustible materials such as
lint, paper, rags, chemicals, etc.
• Close supervision is necessary if this appliance
is used by or near children.
Do not allow children to play on, with, or inside

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

a whole cycle resulting in fire during drying.
So, do not load oiled clothes.

garment manufacturer’s wash and care
instructions.

force the door open when locked. This could
