Safety
PREVENT INJURY
To prevent shock hazard and assure stability
during operation, the dryer must be installed
and electrically grounded by a qualifi ed service
person in accordance with local codes. Installa-
tion instructions are packed in the dryer for the
installer’s reference. Refer to INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS for detailed grounding proce-
dures. If the dryer is moved to a new location,
have it checked and reinstalled by a qualifi ed
service person.
To prevent personal injury or damage to the
dryer, the electrical power cord of a gas dryer
must be plugged into a properly grounded and
polarized 3-prong outlet. The third grounding
prong must never be removed. Never ground
the dryer to a gas pipe. Do not use an extension
cord or an adaptor plug.
ALWAYS disconnect the dryer from the electrical
supply before attempting any service or clean-
ing. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock
or injury.
Do not use any type spray cleanser when clean-
ing dryer interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical
shock could occur.
To prevent injury, do not reach into the dryer
if the drum is moving. Wait until the dryer has
stopped completely before reaching into the
drum.
PREVENT INJURY AND DAMAGE TO THE
DRYER
All repairs and servicing must be performed by
an authorized servicer unless specifi cally rec-
ommended in this Use & Care Guide. Use only
authorized factory parts.
Do not tamper with controls.
Do not sit on, step on or stand on the dryer. Do
not rest heavy loads on top. The dryer is not
meant to support weight.
Do not install or store the dryer where it will be
exposed to the weather.
A thermal limiter switch automatically turns off
the motor in the unlikely event of an overheated
situation (electric dryers only). A service techni-
cian must replace the thermal limiter switch after
correcting the fault.
Failure to comply with these warnings could
result in serious personal injuries.
