WARNING
!
For your safety, the information in this manual must
be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion
and to prevent property damage, personal injury, or
loss of life.
The dryer must never be operated with any of the
back guards or service panels removed. Personal
injury or fire could result.
Failure to properly install, maintain, and/or operate
dryer according to this manual and operator's
manuals included with dryer may result in conditions,
which can cause serious injury, death and/or property
damage.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of this appliance while it
is in operation.
Purchaser and user should consult the local gas supplier for
proper instructions to be followed in the event the user smells
gas. The instructions should be posted in a prominent
location.
What To Do If You Smell Gas:
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch.
• Do not use any phone in your building.
• Clear the room, building, or area of all occupants.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's
phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire
department.
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified
installer, service agency, or gas supplier.
Dryers must be exhausted to the outdoors.
Although the manufacturer produces a very versatile dryer,
there are some articles that, due to fabric composition or
cleaning method, should not be dried in it.
WARNING
!
Dry only water washed fabrics. Do not dry articles
spotted or washed in dry cleaning solvents,
combustible detergents, industrial chemicals, or "all
purpose" cleaner. Explosion could result.
Do not dry rags or articles coated or contaminated
with gasoline, kerosene, oil, paint, or wax. Explosion
could result.
Items that have been spotted or soaked with
vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard and
should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Do not dry mop heads. Contamination by wax or
flammable solvents will create a fire hazard.
4
Do not use heat for drying articles that contain
plastic, foam, sponge rubber, or similarly textured
rubber materials. Drying in a heated tumbler may
damage plastics or rubber and also may be a fire
hazard.
The possible presence of residual quantities of aggressive
or decomposed chemicals in the load may produce damage
to the machine and harmful fumes.
A program should be established for the inspection and
cleaning of lint in the burner area, exhaust ductwork, and
area around the back of the dryer. The frequency of
inspection and cleaning can best be determined from
experience at each location.
The collection of lint in the burner area and exhaust
ductwork can create a potential fire hazard.
For personal safety, the dryer must be electrically grounded
in accordance with local codes and/or the National Electrical
Code ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST EDITION or in Canada,
the Canadian Electrical Codes Parts 1 & 2 CSA C22.1-1990
or LATEST EDITION.
NOTE: Failure to electrically ground the dryer properly will
void the warranty.
Personal injury or fire could result should the dryer
door switch, lint door/drawer, or heat safety circuit
ever be disabled.
Remove articles from the dryer as soon as the drying cycle
has been completed.
Articles left in the dryer after the drying and cooling
cycles have been completed can create a fire hazard.
For safety, proper operation, and optimum performance, the
dryer must not be operated with a load less than 66% of its
rated capacity.
You must disconnect and lockout the electric supply
and the gas supply or the steam supply before any
covers or guards are removed from the machine to
allow access for cleaning, adjusting, installation, or
testing of any equipment per OSHA standards.
IMPORTANT: The dryer must be installed in a location/
environment, which the ambient temperature remains
between 40° F (4.44° C) and 130° F (54.44° C).
