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.

„

Keep the area around the exhaust opening

and adjacent surrounding areas free from the

accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.

„ If you see water on the floor around the dryer, call

for service.

„ Do not spray any type of aerosol into, on or near

dryer at any time.

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.

„ Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your

dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may

contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a

clothes load to catch fire.

„ 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, foam

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 building’s 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: Pressing Power, Start or Lock does NOT

disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
