Important Safety Instructions
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 ma-
terials 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 seri-
ous personal injuries.
PREVENT INJURY
• To prevent shock hazard and assure stability during
operation, the dryer must be installed and electrically
grounded by a quali
fi
ed service person in accordance
with local codes. Installation instructions are packed in
the dryer for the installer’s reference. Refer to
INSTAL-
LATION INSTRUCTIONS for detailed grounding proce-
dures. If the dryer is moved to a new location, have it
checked and reinstalled by a quali
fi
ed 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.
PREVENT INJURY AND DAMAGE TO THE DRYER

rized factory parts.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed
to the weather.

• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in seri-
ous personal injuries.
