1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:
a. Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned
in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable or explosive
substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or
explode. Any material on which you have used a
cleaning solvent, or which is saturated with flamma-
ble liquids or solids, should not be placed in the dryer,
until all traces of these flammable liquids or solids
and their fumes have been removed. There are many
highly flammable items used in homes, such as: ace-
tone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some liq-
uid household cleaners, some spot removers, turpen-
tine, 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 heated, can under certain circumstances pro-
duce fire by spontaneous combustion.
3. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance.
Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is
used near children.
4. Before the appliance is removed from service or discard-
ed, 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 weather.
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 under-
stand and have the skills to carry out.
9. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate stat-
ic unless recommended for dryer use by the manufactur-
er of the fabric softener or product.
10. Clean the lint screen before or after each load.
11. Keep the area around the exhaust opening and sur-
rounding 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 ground-
ed adequately and in accordance with local and national
codes. See installation instructions for grounding this
appliance.
14. Do not sit on top of the clothes dryer.
