• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
• Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar. Follow package directions when
using laundry products. Incorrect usage can produce poisonous gas, resulting in serious injury or death.
• Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents to clean the appliance. They will damage the
finish.
• Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, vegetable or cooking oil, or other flammable or explosive substances, as
they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• Do not dry unwashed items in the appliance.
• Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.
• Do not add gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash
water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• In the event of a gas leak (propane gas, LP gas, etc.), do not operate this or any other appliance. Open a
window or door to ventilate the area immediately.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Fix the drain hose securely in place to avoid flooding.
• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door of the appliance.
• Always check the inside of the appliance for foreign objects.
• Do not allow water, bleach or other liquids to sit in the drum for extended periods. Doing so can corrode
the drum or cause mildew or odors.
• Do not use the appliance to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like
materials.
• Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four potentially hazardous substances, namely benzene,
carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural
gas or LP fuels.
• Properly adjusted appliances will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be
minimized further by properly venting the dryer to the outdoors.
• Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your appliance. Items contaminated with cooking oils may
contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire. To reduce the risk of fire due to
contaminated loads, the final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down period). Avoid
stopping tumble drying before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and
spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
• Do not put any part of your body, such as your hands or feet, or metal objects under the appliance.
• Do not let your hand get pinched when opening or closing the appliance door.
• Do not open the appliance door during a STEAM CYCLE.
• Do not touch the steam nozzle in the drum during or after a STEAM CYCLE.
• On models with a steam feeder drawer, do not fill the steam feeder with hot water (over 86 ℉ / 30 ℃),
gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances.
