Although the manufacturer produces a very versatile dryer,
there are some articles that, due to fabric composition or
cleaning method, should not be dried in it.
Warning
Dry only water washed fabrics. Do not dry articles
spotted or washed in dry cleaning solvents, a
combustible detergent, or “all purpose” cleaner. Explosion
could result.
Do not dry rags or articles coated or contaminated with
gasoline, kerosene, oil, paint, or wax. Explosion could
result.
Do not dry mop heads. Contamination by wax or flammable
solvents will create a fire hazard.
Do not use heat for drying articles that contain plastic,
foam, sponge rubber, or similarly textured rubber materials.
Drying in a heated tumbler may damage plastics or rubber
and may be a fire hazard.
A program should be established for the inspection and
cleaning of lint in the burner area, exhaust ductwork, and area
around the back of the dryer. The frequency of inspection
and cleaning can best be determined from experience at each
location.
Warning
The collection of lint in the burner area and
exhaust ductwork can create a potential fire
hazard.

in accordance with local codes and/or the National Electrical
Code ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST EDITION or in Canada,
the Canadian Electrical Codes Parts 1 & 2 CSA C22.1-1990

Note
Failure to electrically ground the dryer properly will
void the warranty.

drawer switch, or the heat safety circuit devices ever be
disabled.
Warning
Personal injury or fire could result should the dryer
door switch, lint drawer switch, or the heat safety
circuit ever be disabled.
This dryer is not to be used in the presence of dry cleaning
solvents or fumes.
Remove articles from the dryer as soon as the drying cycle
has been completed.
Warning
Articles left in the dryer after the drying and cooling
cycles have been completed can create a fire
hazard.
