Important Safety Instructions
Read all instructions before using this dryer.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using this dryer, comply
with the basic warnings listed below.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
Prevent Fire
Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,
cleaning solvents, kerosene, waxes, etc. Do not store these items on or near the dryer. These substances
give off vapors or chemical reactions that could ignite or explode.
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.
To prevent fire, do not use heat to dry items containing plastic, foam rubber or similarly
textured rubber-like materials, or items containing feathers or down. Use Air Fluff (No Heat) only.
Clean the lint screen before or after each load. The interior of the dryer, lint screen housing
and exhaust duct should be cleaned approximately every 18 months by qualified service personnel. An
excessive amount of lint build-up in these areas could result in inefficient drying and possible fire. See Care
and Cleaning, page 6.
Do not operate the dryer if the lint screen is blocked, damaged or missing. Fire hazard,
overheating and damage to fabrics can occur. If your dryer has a drying rack, always replace the lint screen
when finished using the drying rack.
Keep area around the exhaust opening and surrounding areas free from the accumulation
of lint, dust and dirt.
Do not obstruct the flow of ventilating air. Do not stack or place laundry or throw rugs
against the front or back of the dryer.
Do not spray any type of aerosol into, on or near dryer at any time.
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire, explosion, serious bodily injury and/or damage
to the rubber or plastic parts of the dryer.
Protect Children
Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close supervision of children is necessary
when the dryer is used near children. As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances.
Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing materials after the dryer is unpacked.
Children might use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets can become
airtight chambers.
Keep laundry products out of children's reach. To prevent personal injury, observe all
warnings on product labels.
Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded, remove the dryer door to prevent
accidental entrapment.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
Prevent Injury
To prevent shock hazard and assure stability during operation, the dryer must be installed
and electrically grounded by a qualified service person in accordance with local codes. Installation
instructions are packed in the dryer for the installer's reference. Refer to INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
for detailed grounding procedures. If the dryer is moved to a new location, have it checked and reinstalled
by a qualified service person.
