• DO NOT use fabric softeners or products
to eliminate static unless recommended
by the manufacturer of the fabric softener
or product.
WARNING
DO NOT continue to use the dryer if you
hear squeaking, grinding, rubbing or oth-
er unusual noises. This could be a sign of
mechanical breakdown and lead to fire or
serious injury. Contact a qualified tech-
nician immediately.
• Failure to comply with these warnings
could result in fire, explosion, serious
bodily injury and/or damage to the dryer.
Protect Children
• DO NOT allow children to play on or in
the dryer. Close supervision of children is
necessary when the dryer is used near
children. As children grow, teach them
the proper, safe use of all appliances.
• Destroy the carton, plastic bag and
other packing materials after the dryer is
unpacked. Children might use them for
play. Cartons covered with rugs, bed-
spreads or plastic sheets can become
airtight chambers.
• Keep laundry products out of children's
reach. To prevent personal injury, observe
all warnings on product labels.
• Before the dryer is removed from service
or discarded, remove the dryer door to
prevent accidental entrapment.
• Failure to comply with these warnings
could result in serious personal injuries.
Prevent Injury
• To prevent shock hazard and assure
stability during operation, the dryer must
be installed and electrically grounded by
a qualified service person in accordance
with local codes. Installation instructions
are packed in the dryer for the installer's
reference. Refer to Installation Instruc-
tions for detailed grounding procedures.
If the dryer is moved to a new location,
have it checked and reinstalled by a
qualified service person.
• To prevent personal injury or damage to
the dryer, the electrical power cord of a
gas dryer must be plugged into a proper-
ly grounded and polarized 3-prong outlet.
The third grounding prong must never
be removed. Never ground the dryer to a
gas pipe. DO NOT use an extension cord
or an adaptor plug.
• ALWAYS disconnect the dryer from the
electrical supply before attempting any
service or cleaning. Failure to do so can
result in electrical shock or injury.
• DO NOT use any type of spray cleanser
when cleaning dryer interior. Hazardous
fumes or electrical shock could occur.
• To prevent injury, DO NOT reach into the
dryer if the drum is moving. Wait until
the dryer has stopped completely before
reaching into the drum.

formed by an authorized service provider

• DO NOT sit on, step on or stand on the
dryer. DO NOT rest heavy loads on top.
The dryer is not meant to support weight.
