IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or injury to persons when using
your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
●
●
Read all instructions before using the appliance.
●
●
This dryer, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local
codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
●
●
DO NOT dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in,
or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive
substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
●
●
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. To reduce the risk of fire due to contaminated loads, the final part of the tumble
dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping a tumble dryer
before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread
out so that the heat is dissipated.
●
●
DO NOT allow children to play on or in this appliance. Close supervision of children is
necessary when this appliance is used near children.
●
●
Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the
drying compartment.

DO NOT reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.
●
●
DO NOT install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
●
●
DO NOT tamper with controls.
●
●
DO NOT repair or replace any part of this appliance or attempt any servicing unless
specifically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions 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 dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
●
●
Clean lint screen before or after each load.
●
●
DO NOT operate the dryer without the lint filter and condenser in place.

dryer. Keep area around the air intake vent on the front of the dryer and adjacent
surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.

personnel.
