dryer, follow basic precautions, including the following:
•
Read all instructions before using
the dryer.

Do not place items exposed to cooking
oils in your dryer. Items contaminated

chemical reaction that could cause a
load to catch fire.

previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked
in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning

the dryer. Close supervision of children
is necessary when the dryer is used
near children.

Before the dryer is removed from service
or discarded, remove the door to the
drying compartment.
•
Do not reach into the dryer if the drum
is moving.
•
Do not install or store the dryer where
it will be exposed to the weather.
