IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

                         To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer, follow basic
precautions, including the following:

WARNING: 

Read all instructions before using the dryer.

Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in 
your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils
may contribute to a chemical reaction that could 
cause a load to catch fire.

Do not dry articles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable, 
or explosive substances as they give off vapors 
that could ignite or explode.

Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer.
Close supervision of children is necessary when
the dryer is used near children.

Before the dryer is removed from service or dis-
carded, remove the door to the drying compart-
ment.

Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving.

Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer or 
attempt any servicing unless specifically recom-
mended in this Use and Care Guide or in published 
user-repair instructions that you understand and have 
the skills to carry out.

Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate 
static unless recommended by the manufacturer of
the fabric softener or product.

Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber
or similarly textured rubber-like materials.

Clean lint screen before or after each load.

Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent
surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint,
dust, and dirt.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

The interior of the dryer and exhaust vent should be
cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.

Do not install or store the dryer where it will be
exposed to the weather.

Do not tamper with controls.

See Installation Instructions for grounding require-
ments.
