Protect Children
Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close supervision
of children is necessary when the dryer is used near children. As children grow,
teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances.
Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing materials after
the dryer is unpacked. Children might use them for play. Cartons covered with
rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers.
Keep laundry products out of children's reach. To prevent personal
injury, observe all warnings on product labels.
Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded, remove the
dryer door to prevent accidental entrapment.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
Prevent Injury
To prevent shock hazard and assure stability during operation, the
dryer must be installed and electrically grounded by a qualified service person in
accordance with local codes. Installation instructions are packed in the dryer for
the installer's reference. Refer to INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for detailed
grounding procedures. If the dryer is moved to a new location, have it checked
and reinstalled by a qualified service person.
To prevent personal injury or damage to the dryer, the electrical
power cord of a gas dryer must be plugged into a properly grounded and
polarized 3-prong outlet.
The third grounding prong must never be
removed. Never ground the dryer to a gas pipe. Do not use an extension
cord or an adaptor plug.
ALWAYS disconnect
the dryer from the electrical supply before
attempting any service or cleaning. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock
or injury.
Do not use any type spray cleanser when cleaning dryer interior.
Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could occur.
To prevent injury, do not reach into the dryer if the drum is
moving. Wait until the dryer has stopped completely before reaching into the
drum.
To prevent injury and damage to the dryer:
•
All repairs and servicing must be performed by an authorized servicer
unless specifically recommended in this Owner's Guide. Use only authorized
factory parts.
•
Do not
tamper with controls.
•
Do not
install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to the weather.
A thermal limiter switch automatically turns off the motor in the unlikely
event of an overheated situation (electric dryers only). A service technician must
replace the thermal limiter switch after correcting the fault.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
