WARNING –
To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or personal injury when
using your dryer, follow the basic safety precautions below:
1.
Read all instructions before using your appliance.
2.
To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:
a.
Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with gasoline,
dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances. They emit vapors that could
ignite or explode. Any material that has been in contact with a cleaning solvent or flammable
liquids or solids should not be placed in the dryer until all traces of these flammable liquids or
solids and their fumes have been removed.
There are many highly flammable items used in homes, such as acetone, denatured alcohol,
gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes,
and wax removers.
b.
Items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-like
materials must not be dried on a heat setting. Heated foam rubber materials can, under certain
circumstances, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
3.
Do not allow children or pets to play on, in, or in front of the appliance. Close supervision is
necessary when the appliance is used near children and pets.
4.
Before discarding or removing your dryer from service, remove the door to the drying
compartment to prevent children or animals from becoming trapped inside.
5.
Do not reach into the appliance when the drum is moving.
6.
Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
7.
Do not tamper with controls.
8.
Do not repair, replace, or attempt to service any part of the appliance unless specifically
recommended in the user-repair instructions and you understand and have the skills to carry those
out.
9.
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended for dryer use by
the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
