To reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, serious
injury or death to persons
when using your dryer,
follow these basic
precautions:
1. Read all instructions before
using the dryer.
2. Refer to the GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS in the
iNSTALLATiON manual for
the proper grounding of the
dryer.
3. Do not dry articles that have
been previously cleaned in,
washed in, soaked in, or
spotted with gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents, other
flammable or explosive
substances as they give off
vapors that could ignite or
explode.
4. Do not allow children to play
on or in the dryer. Close
supervision of children is
necessary when the dryer is
used near children. This is a
safety rule for all appliances.
5. Before the dryer is removed
from service or discarded,
remove the door to the drying
compartment.
6. Do not reach into the dryer if
the cylinder is revolving.
7. Do not install or store the 14.

Do not repair or replace any
part of the dryer, or attempt
any servicing unless
specifically recommended in
the User-Maintenance
Instructions or in published
user-repair instructions that
you understand and have the
skills to carry out.
Do not use fabric softeners or
products to eliminate static
unless recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric
softener or product.
To reduce the risk of fire, DO
NOT DRY plastics or articles
containing foam rubber or
similarly textured rubberlike
materials.
ALWAYS clean the lint filter
after every load. A layer of
lint in the filter reduces drying
efficiency and prolongs drying
time.
Keep area around the exhaust
opening and adjacent
surrounding area free from
the accumulation of lint, dust
and dirt.
The interior of the dryer and
the exhaust duct should be
cleaned periodically by
qualified service personnel.

17. Do not put articles soiled with
vegetable or cooking oil in the
dryer, as these oils may not be
removed during washing. Due
