Rules for Safe Operation of Dryer
RULES FOR SAFE
OPERATION OF DRYER
ENERGY-SAVING TIPS
1. Be sure your dryer is installed properly in accordance with the
recommended instructions.
2. CAUTION
Be safe—shut main electrical power supply and gas supply off
externally before attempting service.
3. CAUTION
Never use drycleaning solvents: gasoline, kerosene, or other
flammable liquids in the dryer.
Fire and explosion will occur.
Never put fabrics treated with these liquids into the dryer.
Never use these liquids near the dryer.
Always keep the lint screen clean.
Never use heat to dry items that contain plastic, foam or sponge rubber,
or rags coated with oils, waxes or paints. The heat may damage the
material or create a fire hazard. Rubber easily oxidizes, causing
excessive heat and possible fire.
Never dry the above items in the dryer.
4. Never let children play near or operate the dryer. Serious injury
will occur if a child should crawl inside and the dryer is turned on.
5. Never use dryer door opening and top as a step stool.
6. Read and follow manufacturer's instructions on packages of laundry and
cleaning aids. Heed any warnings or precautions.
7. Never tumble fiberglass materials in the dryer unless the labels say they
are machine dryable. Glass fibers break and can remain in the dryer and
could cause skin irritation if they become mixed into other fabrics.
8. Reference
Lighting and shut-down instructions and wiring diagrams are located on
the rear wall of the dryer cabinet.
9. The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will
be exposed to water and/or weather.
10. Install dryer so that you can use short, straight venting. Turned elbows
and long vent tubing tend to increase drying time. Longer drying time
means the use of more energy and higher operating costs.
11. Operate dryer using full-size loads. Very large loads use extra energy.
Very small loads waste energy.
12. Dry light-weight fabrics separately from heavy fabrics. You will use less
energy and get more even drying results by drying fabrics of similar
weight together.
13. Clean the lint screen area daily. A clean lint screen helps give faster,
more economical drying.
14. Do not open the dryer door while drying. You let warm air escape from
the dryer into the room.
15. Unload the dryer as soon as it stops. This saves having to re-start your
dryer to remove wrinkles.
