IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

YOUR LAUNDRY AREA

Keep the area underneath and around your

appliances free of combustible materials, (lint,

paper, rags, etc.), gasoline, chemicals and other

flammable vapors and liquids.

Keep the floor around your appliances clean and

dry to reduce the possibility of slipping.

Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is

used by or near children. Do not allow children to

play on, with, or inside this or any other appliance.

Keep all laundry aids (such as detergents,

bleaches, etc.) out of the reach of children,

preferably in a locked cabinet. Observe all

warnings on container labels to avoid injury.

Never climb on or stand on the dryer top.

WHEN USING YOUR DRYER

Never reach into the dryer while the drum is

moving. Before loading, unloading or adding

clothes, wait until the drum has completely

stopped.

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.

Do not wash or dry articles that have been

cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted

with combustible or explosive substances (such as

wax, oil, paint, gasoline, degreasers, dry-cleaning

solvents, kerosene, etc.) which may ignite or

explode. Do not add these substances to the

wash water. Do not use or place these substances

around your washer or dryer during operation.

Any article on which you have used a cleaning

solvent or that contains flammable materials

(such as cleaning cloths, mops, towels used in

beauty salons, restaurants, or barber shops, etc.)

must not be placed in or near the dryer until

solvents or flammable materials have been

removed. There are many highly flammable

items used in homes such as acetone, denatured

alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some household

cleaners, some spot removers, turpentines,

waxes, wax removers and products containing

petroleum distillates.

The laundry process can reduce the flame

retardancy of fabrics. To avoid such a result,

carefully follow the garment manufacturer’s

care instructions.

Do not dry articles containing rubber, plastic,

or similar materials such as padded bras, tennis

shoes, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants,

plastic bags, pillows, etc. that may melt or burn.

Some rubber materials, when heated, can under

certain circumstances produce fire by

spontaneous combustion.

Do not store plastic, paper or clothing that may

burn or melt on top of the dryer during operation.

Garments labeled Dry Away from Heat or Do
Not Tumble Dry

(such as life jackets containing

Kapok) must not be put in your dryer.

Do not dry fiberglass articles in your dryer.

Skin irritation could result from the remaining

particles that may be picked up by clothing

during subsequent dryer uses.

To minimize the possibility of electric shock,

unplug this appliance from the power supply

or disconnect the dryer at the household

distribution panel by removing the fuse or

switching off the circuit breaker before

attempting any maintenance or cleaning

(except the removal and cleaning of the lint

filter). NOTE: Turning the Cycle Selector knob

to an OFF position does NOT disconnect the

appliance from the power supply.
