IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
A Warning—To reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons
when using your appliance, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of substances known to
the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four
of these substances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused
primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural
gas or LP fuels.
Exposure to these substances can be minimized
further by properly venting the dryers to the
outdoors.
Basic Precautions
• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose
as described in this Use and Care Guide.
• This dryer must be properly installed and
located in accordance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used.
If you did not
receive an Installation Instruction sheet with your
dryer, you can obtain one by contacting the service
location nearest you.
• Locate where the temperature is above 50°F.
(IO C.) for satisfactory operation of the dryer
control system. Do not install or store the dryer
where it will be exposed to the weather.
• Connect to a properly rated, protected and
sized power supply circuit to avoid electrical
overload.
• Exhausting to the outside is REQUIRED to
prevent large amounts of moisture and lint from
being blown into the room. Carefully follow the
Exhausting Details in the Installation Instructions.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the
appliance or attempt any servicing unless
specifically recommended in this Use and Care
Guide or in published user-repair instructions
that you understand and have the skills to
carry out.
• 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.
• In fulfilling the specific needs of different
commercial installations the purchaser of this
dryer may wish to locate the coin box and controls
in any of a number of locations. The responsibility
for the proper performance of this work lies solely
with the purchaser. It should be done by properly
trained and qualified personnel, and in accordance
with local code requirements.
To Reduce the Risk of Electric Shock
• Properly ground to conform with all governing
codes and ordinances. Follow details in
Installation Instructions.
• When disconnecting this appliance pull by the
plug rather than the cord to avoid damage to the
cord or junction of cord and plug. Make sure that
the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on,
tripped over or otherwise subjected to damage or
stress.
• To minimize the possibility of electric shock,
unplug this appliance from the power supply
before attempting any maintenance or cleaning
(except the removal and cleaning of the lint filter).
NOTE: Appliance MUST be unplugged to ensure
that power is disconnected. Turning the appliance
off at the control panel does NOT disconnect power.
• Do not tamper with the controls.
• Do not operate this appliance if it is damaged,
malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or has
missing or broken parts, including a damaged
cord or plug.
• Any coin box or similar device added to the dryer,
either electrically or mechanically, should be
properly grounded.
