GENERAL
•
Installation and repair should be done by a
qualified service person. The appliance should
be inspected before use and at least annually by
a qualified service person. More frequent
cleaning may be required due to excessive lint
from carpeting, bedding material, etc. It is
imperative that control compartment, burners
and circulating air passageways of the appliance
be kept clean.
•
Due to high temperatures the appliance
should be located out of high traffic areas and
away from furniture and draperies.
Children and adults should be alerted to hazards
of high surface temperatures and should stay
away to avoid burns or clothing ignition.
•
Young children should be carefully
supervised when they are in the same room as
the appliance.

Clothing or other flammable material should
not be placed on or near the appliance.
