SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ENGLISH
•
Read all instructions before using the appliance and save these instructions.
•
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose.
•
Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door of the appliance.
•
Do not allow children to play on, in or with the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when
the appliance is used near children.
•
Do not tamper with controls.
•
In the event of a gas leak (propane gas, LP gas, etc.) do not operate this or any other appliance. Open a
window or door to ventilate the area immediately.
•
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot-water system that has not been used
for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot-water system has not been used for
such a period, before using the appliance turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for
several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or
use an open flame during this time.
•
Fix the drain hose securely in place.
•
Do not put oily or greasy clothing, candles or flammable materials on top of the appliance.
•
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the
fabric softener or product.
•
Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.
•
Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, soiled with or spotted with
gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, vegetable oil, cooking oil or other flammable or explosive substances, as
they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
•
Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
•
Do not store plastic, paper, or clothing that may burn or melt on top of the dryer during operation.
•
Always check the inside of the appliance for foreign objects.
•
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide,
formaldehyde, and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.
•
Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be
minimized further by properly venting the dryer to the outdoors.
STEAM (Steam models)
•
Do not open the dryer door during STEAM CYCLE.
•
Do not touch the steam nozzle in the drum during or after the STEAM CYCLE.
•
Do not fill the steam feeder with hot water (over 86 °F/ 30 °C), gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other
flammable or explosive substances.
