The dryer must never be operated with any of the back
guards, outer tops, or service panels removed.
Personal injury or fire could result.
Failure to properly install, maintain, and/or operate

damage.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Purchaser and user should consult the local gas supplier for
proper instructions to be followed in the event the user smells
gas. The instructions should be posted in a prominent
location.
What To Do If You Smell Gas:
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch.
• Do not use any phone in your building.
• Clear the room, building, or area of all occupants.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s
phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire
department.
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified
installer, service agency, or gas supplier.
Dryers must be exhausted to the outdoors.
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, combustible detergents, 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.
Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable
or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard and should not
be placed in a tumble dryer.
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 also 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.
Do not operate steam dryers with more than 150 psi (10.34
bar) steam pressure. Excessive steam pressure can damage
the steam coil and/or harm personnel.
Replace leaking flexible hoses or other steam fixtures
immediately. Do not operate the dryer with leaking flexible
hoses. Personal injury may result.
Warning
The collection of lint in the burner area and
exhaust ductwork can create a potential fire
hazard.
For personal safety, the dryer must be electrically grounded
in accordance with local and/or country codes. In the absence
of these codes use the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA
NO. 70-LATEST EDITION or in Canada, the Canadian
Electrical Codes Parts 1 & 2 CSA C22.1-1990 or LATEST
EDITION.
Note: Failure to electrically ground the dryer properly will
void the warranty.
Warning
Personal injury or fire could result should the
dryer door switch, lint door/drawer, or heat
safety circuit ever be disabled.
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.
For safety, proper operation, and optimum performance, the
dryer must not be operated with a load less than 66% of its
rated capacity.
Warning
You must disconnect and lockout the electric
supply and the gas supply or the steam supply
before any covers or guards are removed from the
machine to allow access for cleaning, adjusting,
installation, or testing of any equipment per OSHA
standards.
Important: The dryer must be installed in a location/
environment, which the ambient temperature remains
between 40° F (4.44° C) and 130° F (54.44° C).
The operation of this appliance may affect the operation of
other types of gas appliances, which take their air for safe
combustion from the same room. If in doubt, consult the
appliance manufacturer(s).
Use this dryer only for its intended purpose, drying fabrics.
