READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
YOUR LAUNDRY AREA
WHEN USING YOUR DRYER
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com
WARNING!
Keep the area underneath and around your
appliances free of combustible materials, (lint, paper,
rags, etc.), gasoline, chemicals and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
Keep the floor around your appliances clean and dry
to reduce the possibility of slipping.
Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is
used by or near children. Do not allow children to play
on, with or inside this or any other appliance.
Never reach into the dryer while the drum is moving.
Before loading, unloading or adding clothes, wait until
the drum has completely stopped.
Clean the lint filter before each load to prevent lint
accumulation inside the dryer or in the room. DO NOT
OPERATE THE DRYER WITHOUT THE LINT FILTER IN
PLACE.
Do not wash or dry articles that have been cleaned in,
washed in, soaked in or spotted with combustible or
explosive substances (such as wax, oil, paint, gasoline,
degreasers, dry-cleaning solvents, kerosene, etc.).
These substances give off vapors that may ignite or
explode. Do not add these substances to the wash
water. Do not use or place these substances around
your washer or dryer during operation.
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
clothes load to catch fire.
Any article on which you have used a cleaning
solvent or that contains flammable materials (such
as cleaning cloths, mops, towels used in beauty
salons, restaurants or barber shops, etc.) must not
be placed in or near the dryer until solvents or
flammable materials have been removed. There are
many highly flammable items used in homes such
as acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene,
some household cleaners, some spot removers,
turpentines, waxes, wax removers and products
containing petroleum distillates.
The laundry process can reduce the flame retardancy
of fabrics. To avoid such a result, carefully follow the
garment manufacturer's care instructions.

Keep the area around the exhaust opening
and adjacent surrounding areas free from the
accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.
Keep all laundry aids (such as detergents, bleaches,
etc.) out of the reach of children, preferably in a
locked cabinet. Observe all warnings on container
labels to avoid injury.
Never climb on or stand on the dryer top.
Do not dry articles containing rubber, plastic or
similar materials such as padded bras, tennis
shoes, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants,
plastic bags, pillows, etc. that may melt or burn.
Some rubber materials, when heated, can under
certain circumstances produce fire by spontaneous
combustion.
Do not store plastic, paper or clothing that may burn
or melt on top of the dryer during operation.
Garments labeled Dry Away from Heat or Do Not
Tumble Dry (such as life jackets containing Kapok)
must not be put in your dryer.
Do not dry fiberglass articles in your dryer. Skin
irritation could result from the remaining particles
that may be picked up by clothing during subsequent
dryer uses.
To minimize the possibility of electric shock, unplug
this appliance from the power supply or disconnect
the dryer at the household distribution panel by
removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker
before attempting any maintenance or cleaning
(except the removal and cleaning of the lint filter).
NOTE: Pressing START/PAUSE or POWER does NOT
disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
If you see water on the floor around the dryer, call for
service.
Do not obstruct the flow of ventilating air. Do not
stack or place laundry or throw rugs against the front
or back of the dryer.
