Kenmore C978-97322 Use & Care Manual page 8

• 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 ap-
pliance from the power supply or disconnect the appliance
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: Turning the Cycle Selector knob to an off position or
pressing PAUSE does NOT disconnect the appliance from
the power supply.
• The interior of the machine and the exhaust duct connec-
tion inside the dryer should be cleaned at least once a year
by a qualified technician. See the Loading and Using the
Dryer section.
• If yours is a gas dryer, it is equipped with an automatic
electric ignition and does not have a pilot light. DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO LIGHT WITH A MATCH. Burns may result
from having your hand in the vicinity of the burner when
the automatic ignition turns on.
• You may wish to soften your laundered fabrics or reduce
the static electricity in them by using a dryer-applied fabric
softener or an antistatic conditioner.
• We recommend you use either a fabric softener in the
wash cycle, according to the manufacturer's instructions for
those products, or try a dryer-added product for which the
manufacturer gives written assurance on the package that
the product can be safely used in a dryer. Service or per-
formance problems caused by use of these products are the
responsibility of the manufacturers of those products and
are not covered under the warranty to this appliance.

WHEN NOT IN USE
• Grasp the plug firmly when disconnecting this appliance to
avoid damage to the cord while pulling. Place the cord
away from traffic areas so it will not be stepped on,
tripped over or subjected to damage.
• Turn off water faucets to relieve pressure on hoses and
valves and to minimize leakage if a break or rupture should
occur. Check the condition of the fill hoses; we recommend
changing the hoses every 5 years.
• Before discarding the appliance, or removing it from ser-
vice, remove the washer and dryer lids to prevent children
from hiding inside.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of this appli-
ance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recom-
mended in this Use & Care Guide or in published user-re-
pair instructions that you understand and have the skills to
carry out.
