6 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue
which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances
burning gas or other fuels.

lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge
on the opposite side to that of the tumble dryer.
• Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower

and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads
should not be dried in the tumble dryer.

(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
Operation
• Read all instructions before using the appliance.
• 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.

Close supervision of children is necessary when
the appliance is used near children.

static unless recommended by the manufacturer of
the fabric softener or product.

rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Always check the inside of the dryer for foreign
objects. Failure to follow these instructions may
result in fire or death.
• Do not store plastic, paper, or clothing that may
burn or melt on top of the dryer during operation.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in fire
or death.
• Be careful when opening and closing the door.
Fingers and hands can get caught in the door and
cause injury if the door drops forward unexpectedly.
• Do not place heavy items on or lean against the
top of the door when it is open.

more than 40 degrees. The dryer could tip

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not place items on the top of the dryer.
• Do not put animals, such as pets into the appliance.
• Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four
potentially hazardous substances, namely benzene,

primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural
gas or LP fuels.
• Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete
combustion. Exposure to these substances can be
minimized further by properly venting the dryer to
the outdoors.
WARNING
Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the
drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed
and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
