SAFETY INFORMATION
SAVE THESE WARNINGS
The manufacturer is concerned about the safety of every-
one who uses or comes in contact with the Dryer. The
Dryer is designed to be operated in compliance with the
safety warnings and instructions provided in this manual.
Like other electrical devices, Dryers can become danger-
ous if abused, damaged or misused. Failure to observe the
following warnings can result in injury to persons, fire
damage, or damage to the Dryer. To reduce the risk of
electrical shock, fire, or personal injury, read and follow
each of the warnings below before using Dryers.
Keep Dryers Grounded
: Always operate Dryers with
the three pronged grounding plug and a grounded electrical
outlet. Never remove the three pronged plug, use an un-
grounded extension cord or an ungrounded adapter. The
grounding prong on the Dryer’s plug is an essential safety
feature that helps reduce the risk of shock or fire in the
event of an electrical hazard.
DANGER
Removal or alteration of the grounding plug, or use of an
adapter that defeats the Dryer’s electrical grounding, can
create risk of serious personal injury or fire in the event of
damage to or malfunction of this product. Do not use Dry-
ers for any reason if they cannot be properly grounded. If
you are unsure whether a receptacle is grounded, test the
outlet with a receptacle tester or consult an electrician.
Extension Cords:
Extension cords must be grounded
and be able to deliver the appropriate voltage to the Dryer.
For use with the Dryer, an extension cord up to 25 feet in
length must have 14 AWG wire; a cord up to 50 feet in
length must have 12 AWG wire.
CAUTION
Never operate Dryers in pooled or standing water, as this
may create a risk of serious injury from electrical shock.
Protect the Power Cord From Damage:
Never oper-
ate Dryers with cut, nicked, abraded, frayed or otherwise
damaged power cords or extension cords as this may lead
to electrical or fire hazards. Never unplug the Dryer by
pulling the cord. Grasp the plug firmly and pull straight
out. Take precautions not to use the cord in a way where
damage may occur. Keep cords away from heated sur-
faces. Inspect cords before each use and replace cords that
show signs of damage.
Storage:
Store Dryers in a clean dry environment. Do not
store Dryers outdoors.
Keep Motor Dry:
Never allow water inside the Dryer’s
motor. If the motor becomes wet for any reason, thor-
oughly dry it before use.
Keep Children Away:
Do not allow children to play
with or around the Dryer. Be sure the Dryer is inaccessible
to children when unattended. Children can hurt themselves
by playing with or around Dryers. Secure all areas in
which Dryers are left unattended while running.
Handle With Care:
Do not drop or throw Dryers for any
reason. Rough treatment can damage the motor, wiring or
motor mount and safety screens and create a hazardous
condition.
