Top Products
• Clean the lint filter before each load
to prevent lint accumulation inside
the dryer or in the room.
DO NOT OPERATE THE DRYER
WITHOUT THE LINT FILTER IN
PLACE.
• Keep the area around and underneath your
appliances free from the accumulation of
combustible materials, such as lint, paper, rags,
chemicals, gasoline and other flammable vapors and
liquids.
• Regularly inspect the exhaust duct to be sure it
has not been crushed or otherwise restricted.
• The interior of the dryer cabinet and the exhaust
duct connection inside the dryer should be cleaned
every 2 to 3 years, or more often if needed, by a
qualified service person. (see Care & Cleaning
section)
To Minimize the Possibility of Injury
• Never reach into the dryer while the drum is
moving. Before loading, unloading or adding clothes,
wait until the drum has completely stopped.
• Do not dry fiberglass articles in your dryer. Skin
irritation could result from the remaining glass
particles that may be picked up by clothing during
subsequent dryer uses.
• The laundry process can reduce the
flame retardance of fabrics. To avoid
such a result, the garment manufacturer’s
care instructions should be followed very
carefully.
• Close supervision is necessary if this
appliance is used by or near children.
Do not allow children to play inside,
on, or with this appliance or any
discarded appliance. Dispose of
discarded appliances and shipping or
packing materials properly. Before discarding a
dryer, or removing from service, remove the door
of the dryer compartment.

detergents, bleaches, fabric softeners,
etc.) out of the reach of children,
preferably in a locked cabinet. Observe
all warnings on container labels to avoid
personal injury.
• Keep the floor around your appliances clean and
dry to reduce the possibility of slipping.
• To minimize the possibility of electric shock,
unplug this appliance from the power
supply before attempting any maintenance
or cleaning (except the removal and
cleaning of the lint filter).

Dryer-applied Fabric Softeners or
Anti-static Conditioners
You may wish to soften your laundered fabrics or
reduce the static electricity in them. We recommend
you use either a fabric softener in the wash cycle,
according to the manufacturer’s instructions for those
products, or try a dryer-added product for which the
manufacturer gives written assurance on the package
that their product can be safely used in your dryer.
Service or performance problems caused by the use of
these products are the responsibility of the manufacturers
of those products and are not covered under the
warranty of this appliance.
