BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
&WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this
appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
• Read all instructions before using the dryer. •
• Before use, the dryer must be properly installed
as described in this manual.
• 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. •
• DO not dry articles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted
with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other •
flammable or explosive substances as they give
off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• DO not reach into the dryer if the drum or any •
other part is moving.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer
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.
• Do not tamper with controls. •
• Before the dryer is removed from service or
discarded, remove the door to the drying
compartment.
Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer.
Close supervision of children is necessary when
the dryer is used near children.
Do not use fabric softeners or products to
eliminate static unless recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
Do not use heat to dry articles containing
foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like
materials.
Keep area around the exhaust opening and
adjacent surrounding areas free from the
accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.
The interior of the dryer and exhaust vent
should be cleaned periodically by qualified
service personnel.
Do not install or store the dryer where it will be
exposed to the weather.
Always check the inside of the dryer for foreign
objects.
