Important Safety Information
• 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, etc.
• Regularly inspect the exhaust
duct to be sure it has not been
crushed or otherwise restricted.
• The interior of the machine
and the exhaust duct
connection inside the dryer
should be cleaned periodically
by a qualified individual.
• 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 subse-
quent dryer uses.
• The laundry process can
reduce the flame retardancy
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.
• Keep all laundry aids (such
as 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
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.
