IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer, follow basic
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
Read all instructions before using
n
the dryer.
This dryer is intended only for drying clothes and textiles
n
that have been washed in water. Do not use for any other
purpose.
WARNING: If you smell gas, do not use the dryer or any
n
electrical equipment nearby. Warn other people to clear
the area. Contact the dryer owner immediately.
Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer.
n
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 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.
If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or
n
cooking oil or that have been contaminated by hair care
products be placed in a tumble dryer, they should first
be washed in hot water with extra detergent – this will
reduce, but not eliminate the hazard.
Do not dry articles that have been previously
n
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with petrol,
dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable, or explosive
substances as they give off vapors that could ignite
or explode.
Items that have been soiled with substances such
n
as acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers,
turpentine, waxes, and wax removers should be washed
in hot water with extra detergent before being dried in
the dryer.
Do not dry unwashed items in the dryer.
n
Do not use this dryer if industrial chemicals have been
n
used for cleaning. The possible presence of residual
quantities of aggressive or decomposed chemicals in
the load may produce damage to the dryer and harmful
fumes.
Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close
n
supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is
used near children.
This dryer is not intended for use by persons (including
n
children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the dryer by a person responsible
for their safety.
Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded,
n
remove the door to the dryer compartment.
Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving.
n
Opening the dryer door will stop the function of the dryer.
n
When loading or re-loading the dryer, avoid touching hot
n
metal parts of the drum (burn risk).
If drum rotation is blocked due to trapped textiles,
n
disconnect the dryer from the electrical supply before
gently removing the blockage.
If the dryer is not heating, or appears to be defective or
n
damaged, do not use it. Contact the owner.
