Rules for Safe Operation of Dryer
1.
Be sure your dryer is installed properly in accordance with the
recommended instructions.
2 .
CAUTION
Be safe—
s
hut main electrical power supply and gas supply off
externally before attempting service.
3 .
CAUTION
Never
use drycleaning solvents: gasoline, kerosene, or other flammable
liquids in the dryer.
Fire and explosion will occur.
Never
put fabrics treated with these liquids into the dryer.
Never
use these liquids near the dryer.
Always
keep the lint screen clean.
Never
use heat to dry items that contain plastic, foam or
sponge rubber, or rags coated with oils, waxes or paints. The heat may
damage the material or create a fire hazard. Rubber easily oxidizes,
causing excessive heat and possible fire.
Never
dry the above items in the dryer.
4.
Never
let children play near or operate the dryer. Serious injury will
occur if a child should crawl inside and the dryer is turned on.
5.
Never
use dryer door opening and top as a step stool.
6.
Read and follow manufacturer’s instructions on packages of laundry and
cleaning aids. Heed any warnings or precautions.
7.
Never
tumble fiberglass materials in the dryer unless the labels say
they are machine dryable. Glass fibers break and can remain in the dryer
and could cause skin irritation if they become mixed into other fabrics.
8.
Reference
Wiring diagrams are located on the rear cover of the dryer cabinet.
9.
The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be
exposed to water and/or weather.
1.
Install dryer so that you can use short, straight venting.
Turned elbows and long vent tubing tend to increase drying
time. Longer drying time means the use of more energy and
higher operating costs.
2.
Operate dryer using full-size loads. Very large loads use extra
energy. Very small loads waste energy.
3.
Dry light-weight fabrics separately from heavy fabrics. You
will use less energy and get more even drying results by
drying fabrics of similar weight together.
4.
Clean the lint screen area daily. A clean lint screen helps give
faster, more economical drying.
5.
Do not
open the dryer door while drying. You let warm air
escape from the dryer into the room.
6.
Unload the dryer as soon as it stops. This saves having to re-
start your dryer to remove wrinkles.
