d IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
d WARNING d
To reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, serious injury or death to
persons and /or damage when
using your dryer, follow basic
precautions, including the
following.
1. Read all instructions before using
the dryer. Siemens dryers are
provided with Operating, Care and
Installation Instructions.
2. Do not dry articles that have been
previously cleaned, washed,
soaked, or spotted with gasoline,
dry cleaning solvents, other
flammable, or explosive
substances as they give off vapors
that could ignite or explode.
3. Do not allow children to play on or
with the appliance. Close
supervision of children is
necessary when the appliance is
used near children.
4. When children become old
enough to operate the appliance, it
is the legal responsibility of the
parents or legal guardians to
ensure that they are instructed in
safe practices by qualified
persons.
5. Before the appliance is removed
from service or discarded, remove
the door to the drying
compartment.
6. Do not reach into the appliance if
the drum is rotating.
7. Do not install or store this
appliance where it will be exposed
to the weather.
8. Do not tamper with the controls.
9. Do not repair or replace any part of
the appliance or attempt any
service unless specifically
recommended in the
userĆmaintenance instructions or
in published user repair
instructions that you understand
and have the skills to carry out.

products to eliminate static unless
recommended by the fabric
manufacturer.
11. Do not use heat to dry articles
containing foam rubber (may be
labeled latex foam) or similarly
textured rubberĆlike materials.
Foam rubber materials can ignite
by spontaneous combustion.
12. Clean lint screen before or after
each load.
13. Keep area around the exhaust
opening and adjacent surrounding
areas free from the accumulation
of lint, dust and dirt. An obstructed
port might reduce the airflow.

exhaust duct should be cleaned
periodically by qualified service
personnel.
15. Always be sure to unplug the dryer
from the electrical supply before
attempting any service.
Disconnect the power cord by

16. Store all laundry chemicals and
aids in a cool dry place according
to the manufacĆ
turer's instructions in an area
where children cannot reach them.
17. To reduce the risk of fire, clothes,
cleaning rags, mop heads and the
like which have traces of any
flammable substance, such as
vegetable oil, cooking oil,
petroleum based oils or distillates,
waxes, fats, etc., must not be
placed in the dryer. These items
may contain some flammable
substance(s) even after washing,
which may smoke or catch fire by
itself.
18. 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 load to
catch fire.
19. Do not sit on top of the dryer.
