IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

Your safety and the safety of others is very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word DANGER or WARNING. These words mean:

DANGER: Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING: Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION: Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

WARNING: For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

•Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic venting materials. If a flexible metal (foil type) duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified by the appliance manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes dryers. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.

•Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this appliance or any other appliances.

•Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.

•Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local codes.

•Save these instructions.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:

1.Do not try to light a match or cigarette, or turn on any gas or electrical appliance.

2.Do not touch any electrical switches. Do not use any phones in your building.

3.Clear the room, building, or area of all occupants.

4.Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Carefully follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

5.If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
