BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

wWARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this
appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
• Read all instructions before using the dryer.
• Before use, the dryer must be properly installed
as described in this manual.
• Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in
your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking
oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that
could cause a load to catch fire.
• 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.
• Do not reach into the dryer if the drum or any
other part is moving.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer
or attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in this Use and Care Guide or
in published user-repair instructions that you
understand and have the skills to carry out.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Before the dryer is removed from service or
discarded, remove the door to the drying
compartment.
• Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer.
Close supervision of children is necessary when
the dryer is used near children.
• Do not use fabric softeners or products to
eliminate static unless recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
• Do not use heat to dry articles containing
foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like
materials.
• Keep area around the exhaust opening and
adjacent surrounding areas free from the
accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.
• The interior of the dryer and exhaust vent
should be cleaned periodically by qualified
service personnel.
• Do not install or store the dryer where it will be
exposed to the weather.
• Always check the inside of the dryer for foreign
objects.
• Clean lint screen before or after each load.
