SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow these Important Safety Instructions:
• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
PreventFire
• Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents, kerosene, waxes,
etc. Do not store these items on or near the dryer. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
•Donotdryarticlescontainingrubber, plasticorsimilarmaterialssuchas bras, galoshes, bathmats, rugs, bibs, babypants, plastic
bags and pillows that may melt or burn. Some rubber materials, when heated, can under certain circumstances produce fire by
spontaneouscombustion.
• Clean the lint screen before or after each load. The interior of the dryer, lint screen housing and exhaust duct should be cleaned
approximately every 18 months by qualified service personnel. An excessive amount of lint build-up in these areas could result in
inefficient drying and possible fire. See Care and Cleaning.
• Do not operate the dryer if the lint screen is blocked, damaged or missing. Fire hazard, overheating and damage to fabrics can
occur. If your dryer has a drying rack, always replace the lint screen when finished using the drying rack.

• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire, explosion, serious bodily injury and/or damage to the rubber or plastic
parts of the dryer.
ProtectChildren
• Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is used near children.
As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances.
• Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing materials after the dryer is unpacked. Children might use them for play. Cartons
covered with rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers.
• Keep laundry products out of children's reach. To prevent personal injury, observe all warnings on product labels.
• Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded, remove the dryer door to prevent accidental entrapment.
• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
PreventInjury
• To prevent shock hazard and assure stability during operation, the dryer must be installed and electrically grounded by a qualified
service person in accordance with local codes. Installation instructions are packed in the dryer for the installer's reference. Refer to
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for detailed grounding procedures. If the dryer is moved to a new location, have it checked and
reinstalled by a qualified service person.
•Topreventpersonalinjuryordamagetothedryer,theelectricalpowercordofagasdryermustbepluggedintoaproperlygrounded
and polarized 3-prong outlet. The third grounding prong must never be removed. Never ground the dryer to a gas pipe.
Do not use an extension cord or an adaptor plug.
• ALWAYS disconnect the dryer from the electrical supply before attempting any service or cleaning. Failure to do so can result
in electrical shock or injury.
• Do not use any type spray cleanser when cleaning dryer interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could occur.
• To prevent injury, do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving. Wait until the dryer has stopped completely before reaching
into the drum.
• To prevent injury and damage to the dryer:

Guide. Use only authorized factory parts.
-
-
Do not tamper with controls.
Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to the weather.
• A thermal limiter switch automatically turns off the motor in the unlikely event of an overheated situation (electric dryers only). A
service technician must replace the thermal limiter switch after correcting the fault.
• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
