•IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING :
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance,
follow basic precautions, including the following :
— Read all instructions before using the appliance.
— Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as they give off
vapours that could ignite or explode.
— Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary
when the appliance is used near children.
— Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the drying com-
partment.
— Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.
— Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
— Do not tamper with controls.
— Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that
you understand and have the skills to carry out.
— Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufac-
turer of the fabric softener or product.
— Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
— Clean lint screen before or after each load.
— Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding areas free from the accumula-
tion of lint, dust, and dirt.
— The interior of the appliance should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
— Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils
may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.
Grounding instructions
— This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will
reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.
— This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a groun-
ding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and groun-
ded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING :
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative or personnel if you are in
doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper out-
let installed by a qualified electrician.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Warning :
Please read the user guide carefully before turning on your appliance so that you can
