2 _ Safety Instructions
1-2. IMPORTANT SAfETY INfORMATION
To avoid risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury, or death when using your dryer, follow these basic precautions:
1. Read all instructions before using the dryer.
2. Install dryer according to Installation Instructions. Refer to the Grounding Instructions in the Installation Instructions
for proper grounding of the dryer.
3. Do not dry articles that have been cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, drycleaning solvents, or
other flammable or explosive substances. Vapors could ignite or explode.
4. Do not use the dryer to dry clothes which have traces of any flammable substance, such as vegetable oil, cooking oil,
machine oil, flammable chemicals, thinner, etc., or anything containing wax or chemicals, such as mops and cleaning
cloths. Flammable substances may cause the fabric to catch fire by itself.
5. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids near this or any other appliance.
6. Do not allow children to play on or in dryer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is used near
children, a safety rule for all appliances.
7. Before the dryer is removed for service or is discarded, remove doors to drying compartment.
8. Do not reach into the dryer if cylinder is rotating.
9. Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.
10. Do not tamper with dryer controls.
11. Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer or attempt any service, unless specifically recommended in user-
maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have skills to carry out, if
you are a consumer.
12. To reduce risk of electric shock or fire, do not use extension cords or adapters to connect the dryer to electrical power
source.
13. Use the dryer only for its intended purpose, drying clothes.
14. Always disconnect the dryer from electrical supply before attempting any service. Disconnect the power cord by
holding the plug, not the cord.
15. Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubberlike materials.
16. Always clean the lint filter after every load. A layer of lint in the filter reduces drying efficiency and pro longs drying
time.
17. Use only fabric softeners or products to eliminate static that are appropriate for automatic dryers.
18. Keep your dryer in good condition. Bumping or dropping the dryer can damage safety features. If damage occurs,
have the dryer checked by a qualified service technician.
19. Replace worn power cords and/or loose plugs.
20. Do not tumble fiberglass curtains and draperies unless the label says it can be done. If they are dried, wipe out the
cylinder with a damp cloth to remove particles of fiberglass.
21. Always read and follow manufacturers instructions on packages for laundry aids. Heed all warnings or precautions.
To reduce risk of poisoning or chemical burns, keep products away from children at all times, preferably, in a locked
cabinet.
