Safety Precautions
IMPORTANT
SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE OPERATION
OF YOUR CLOTHES
DRYER
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE
RISK OF FIRE, EXPLOSION,
ELECTRIC
SHOCK, OR PERSONAL
INJURY WHEN
USING YOUR DRYER, FOLLOW BASIC
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
INCLUDING
THE FOLLOWING:
Because
gas may escape
from
your
system
which
may not be detected
by smell
alone,
resulting
in a potentially
extremely
dangerous
situation,
it is recommended
by gas suppliers
that you purchase
and install a UL-approved
gas detector(s)
in your
home. Your local gas
supplier
can assist
you
in obtaining
a gas
detector.
Please install,
maintain
and use the
gas
detector
in
accordance
with
the
gas
manufacturer's
instructions.
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
USING THE DRYER. RETAIN ALL
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
2. PROPERLY INSTALL AND LOCATE in
accordance
with the Installation
Instructions.
INSTALL OR STORE dryer where it will
NOT be exposed to the weather.
CONNECT to a properly
rated,
protected,
and sized power supply
circuit. See Electrical
Requirements.
HAVE A QUALIFIED SERVICE
TECHNICIAN
install your dryer.
MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED
- See
Installation
Instructions.
SHOULD ANYONE get an ELECTRIC
SHOCK from the dryer, disconnect
electrical
power. DO NOT OPERATE until
it has been repaired
by a qualified
service technician.
3. TO PREVENT INJURY TO CHILDREN:
DO NOT ALLOW children
to play inside,
on, or with the dryer.
CLOSE SUPERVISION
of children
is
necessary
when using dryer.
WHEN CHILDREN are mature
enough,
instruct
them in the safe, correct use of
the dryer.
DESTROY THE CARTON AND PLASTIC
BAGS after unpacking
the dryer.
REMOVE THE DOOR to the drying
compartment
before the dryer is
removed
from service or discarded.
4. DO NOT TAMPER with the operating
controls.
5. DO NOT REACH INTO THE DRYER IF
THE DRUM IS MOVING. If the drum
does not stop moving
when the door is
opened,
disconnect
the electrical
power
to the dryer. Do not operate the dryer
until it has been repaired
by a qualified
service technician.
6. TO PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY
AND DAMAGE TO THE DRYER, DO NOT
repair or replace any part of the dryer or
attempt
any servicing.
SERVICING
should
be referred to a qualified
service
technician.
7. KEEP PETS AWAY FROM DRYER, and
keep dryer door closed at all times
except while loading or unloading.
Pets
may enter the dryer unnoticed
when the
door is open and become entrapped
when the door is closed.
FIRE HAZARD
11. DRY ONLY ARTICLES WHICH HAVE
BEEN WASHED IN WATER - Articles
which
have been cleaned,
washed,
soaked, or spotted
with gasoline,
dry
cleaning
solvents,
oil, waxes, chemical
solvents,
alcohol,
household
cleaners,
spot removers,
turpentine,
or other
flammable
or explosive
materials
will
retain these substances.
DO NOT DRY
ARTICLES which
still contain these
flammable
or explosive
substances
as
they give off vapors that could ignite
or explode.
12. DO NOT USE HEAT to dry articles
containing
foam rubber, plastics or
similarly
textured
rubberlike
materials.
13. KEEP AREA AROUND AND
UNDERNEATH
DRYER free from the
accumulation
of combustible
materials
(such as lint, paper and
rags); gasoline;
and all other
flammable
vapors
and liquids.
14. DO NOT ALLOW storage of any
material
to obstruct
the ventilation
air
openings
of the dryer.
15. TO PREVENT extended
drying time
and risk of fire, CLEAN LINT SCREEN
EACH LOAD.
16. THE INTERIOR of the dryer and the
exhaust duct should
be cleaned
periodically
by a qualified
service
technician.
17. THE EXHAUST SYSTEM should be
periodically
examined
for damage to
the exhaust duct and for free operation
of the exhaust deflector.
Keep the area
around the exhaust opening
and
surrounding
areas free from the
accumulation
of LINT, DUST, and DIRT.
18. Recent studies
have shown that if
vegetable
oil contaminated
materials
are incompletely
washed, a carry-over
and buildup
of the oil may contribute
to a chemical
reaction
(spontaneous
combustion)
that could cause a load
to catch fire by itself. This would
be
more likely to happen if the load was
left in the dryer after tumbling
stopped
or if items were folded and
stacked while warm.
8. LUBRICATION - All moving
parts of
the dryer are permanently
lubricated
and require no lubrication
or oiling.
9. DO NOT USE FABRIC SOFTENERS or
products
to eliminate
static (unless
recommended
for use in clothes dryers
by the manufacturer
of the fabric
softener
or product).
10. DO NOT DRY FIBERGLASS
ARTICLES unless recommended
by the
manufacturer.
