To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to
persons when using the appliance, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. Properly install and locate in accordance with the
Installation Instructions.
3. Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized power
supply circuit. See Electrical Requirements.
4. Have a qualified service technician install your dryer.
5. Should anyone get an electric shock from the dryer,
disconnect the electrical power.
Do not
operate until it
has been repaired by a qualified service technician.
6. To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:
• Do not
dry items that have been previously cleaned
in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-
cleaning solvents, other flammable or explosive
substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or
explode. Any material on which you have used a
cleaning solvent, or which is saturated with flammable
liquids or solids, should not be placed in the dryer,
until all traces of these flammable liquids or solids and
their fumes have been removed.There are many
highly flammable items used in homes, such as:
acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some
liquid household cleaners, some spot removers,
turpentine, waxes and wax removers.
•
Items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex
foam) plastics, or similarly textured rubber-like
materials
must not
be dried on a heat setting.
Foam rubber materials when heated, can under
certain circumstances produce fire by spontaneous
combustion.
•
Keep area around and underneath dryer free from
the accumulation of combustible materials, such as
lint, paper, rags, gasoline and all other flammable
vapors and liquids.
• Do not
allow the storage of any material to
obstruct the ventilation air opening of the dryer.
•
The exhaust should be periodically examined for
damage to the exhaust duct and for free operation of
the exhaust deflector.
• For Gas Dryers:
Gas dryers are equipped to
operate on natural gas only. To convert a gas dryer
for other gases, the services of a qualified service
technician must be obtained.

allow children to play on or in either
compartment of the drying cabinet. Close supervision of
children is necessary when the appliance is used near

in the safe, correct use of the dryer. Destroy the carton and
plastic bags after unpacking the dryer.

discarded, remove the doors to the drying
compartments.
