GENERAL
• Installation and repair should be done by a
qualified service person. The appliance should be
inspected before the first use and, at least, annually
by a qualified service person. More frequent
cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from
carpeting, bedding material, etc. It is imperative the
control compartments, burners and circulating air
passageways of the appliance be kept clean.
• Due to high temperatures, the appliance should
be located out of high traffic areas and away from
furniture and draperies.
Children and adults should be alerted to the
hazards of high surface temperatures and
