used near children. As children grow, teach them the
proper, safe use of all appliances.
Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing ma-•
terials 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 pre-•
vent 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.
