tions, including the following:
• Read all instructions before using the appliance.
• Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, cooking oils, other flammable or explosive substances as they give off va-
pors that could ignite or explode.

appliance.
• Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the drying compartment.

• Do not tamper with controls.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
A) Grounding instructions for a grounded, cord-connected appliance
In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path
of least resistance for electric current. This appliance (Canadian market only) is equipped with a cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
To reduce the risk of fire, this appliance must be exhausted outdoors or the equivalent. Do not exhaust into a
chimney, wall, ceiling or concealed space in a building.
