!
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your
appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. 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.
3. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary
when the appliance is used near children.
4. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the drying
compartment.
5. Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.
6. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to water and/or to the weather.
7. Do not tamper with controls.
8. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that
you understand and have skills to carry out.

manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
10. Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.

accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.
13. The interior of the appliance and the exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically, preferably by

until all traces of the flammable liquids and its fumes have been removed.

qualified electrician or service personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is properly
grounded.
18. Use the dryer only for its intended purpose, drying clothes.
19. Always disconnect dryer from electrical supply before attempting any service. Disconnect
