SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Operation
•
Read all instructions before using the appliance.
•
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 reach into the appliance if the drum is
moving.
•
Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance.
Close supervision of children is necessary when
the appliance is used near children.
•
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate
static unless recommended by the manufacturer of
the fabric softener or product.
•
Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam
rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
•
Do not tamper with controls.
•
Always check the inside of the dryer for foreign
objects. Failure to follow these instructions may
result in fire or death.
•
Do not store plastic, paper, or clothing that may
burn or melt on top of the dryer during operation.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in fire
or death.
•
Be careful when opening and closing the door.
Fingers and hands can get caught in the door and
cause injury if the door drops forward unexpectedly.
•
Do not place heavy items on or lean against the
top of the door when it is open.
•
Do not attempt to pull the hamper door open
more than 40 degrees.
The dryer could tip
forward, causing injury or damage.
•
Do not place items on the top of the dryer.
•
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four
potentially hazardous 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.
•
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 a 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 let children or pets climb inside the dryer
drum.
•
Do not put living animals such as pets inside the
product.

•
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.
Failure to
follow these instructions may result in fire or death.
•
Do not fill the steam feeder with gasoline,
dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or
explosive substances.
Failure to follow these
