basic precautions, including the
following:
To reduce risk of fire, electric
shock, serious injury, or death
when using your dryer, follow
basic precautions, including the
following:
4. Before the appliance is removed from
service or discarded, remove the door
to the drying compartment.
5. Do not reach into the appliance if the
drum is moving.
6. Do not install or store this appliance
where it will be exposed to the weath-
er.
7. Do not tamper with controls.
8. Do not repair or replace any part of
the appliance or attempt any servicing
unless specifically recommended in
published user-repair instructions that
you understand and have the skills to
carry out.
9. Do not use fabric softeners or prod-
ucts to eliminate static unless recom-
mended for dryer use by the manu-
facturer of the fabric softener or prod-
uct.
10. Clean the lint screen before or after
each load.
11. Keep the area around the exhaust
opening and surrounding areas free
from lint accumulation, dust and dirt.
12. The interior of the dryer and exhaust
duct should be cleaned periodically by
qualified service personnel.
13. This appliance must be properly
grounded. Never plug the appliance
cord into a receptacle which is not
grounded adequately and in accor-
dance with local and national codes.
See installation instructions for
grounding this appliance.
14. Do not sit on top of the clothes dryer.
WARNING:
1. Read all instructions before using the
appliance.
2. To avoid the possibility of fire or explo-
sion:
a. Do not dry items that have been
previously cleaned in, washed in,
soaked in, or spotted with gaso-
line, dry-cleaning solvents, other
flammable or explosive sub-
stances as they give off vapors
that could ignite or explode. Any
material on which you have used a
cleaning solvent, or which is satu-
rated with flammable liquids or
solids, should not be placed in the
dryer, until all traces of these flam-
mable liquids or solids and their
fumes have been removed. There
are many highly flammable items
used in homes, such as: acetone,
denatured alcohol, gasoline,
kerosene, some liquid household
cleaners, some spot removers, tur-
pentine, waxes and wax removers.
b. Items containing foam rubber (may
be labeled latex foam) or similarly
textured rubber-like materials must
not be dried on a heat setting.
Foam rubber materials when heat-
ed, can under certain circum-
stances produce fire by sponta-
neous combustion.
3. Do not allow children or pets to play
on, in, or in front of the appliance.
Close supervision is necessary when
the appliance is used near children
and pets.
Do not place into your dryer items that
have been spotted or soaked with veg-
etable oil or cooking oil. Even after
being washed, these items may contain
significant amounts of these oils. The
remaining oil can ignite spontaneously.
The potential for spontaneous ignition
increases when the items containing
vegetable oil or cooking oil are exposed
to heat. Heat sources, such as your
clothes dryer, can warm these items,
allowing an oxidation reaction in the oil
to occur. Oxidation creates heat. If this
heat cannot escape, the items can
become hot enough to catch fire. Piling,
stacking or storing these kinds of items
may prevent heat from escaping and
can create a fire hazard.
All washed and unwashed fabrics that
contain vegetable oil or cooking oil can
be dangerous. Washing these items in
hot water with extra detergent will reduce,
but will not eliminate, the hazard. Always
use the “cool down”cycle for these items
to reduce the items’ temperature. Never
remove these items from the clothes
dryer hot or interrupt the drying cycle
until the items have run through the “cool
down” cycle. Never pile or stack these
items when they are hot.
WARNING:
California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act (Proposition 65)—Gas
Dryers Only
The Governor of California is required to
publish a list of substances known to the
state of California to cause cancer or repro-
ductive harm and requires business to warn
customers of potential exposures to such
substances.
Gas appliances contain or produce sub-
stances which can cause death or serious
illness and which are known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects, or
other reproductive harm. To reduce the risk
from substances in fuel or from fuel com-
bustion, make sure this appliance is
installed, operated, and maintained accord-
ing to the manufacturer’s instructions.
