Important Safety Instructions

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or personal injury when using your appliance, follow basic safety precautions, including the following:

1.Read all instructions before using the appliance.

2.To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:

•Do not dry items 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. Any material on which you have used a cleaning solvent, or which is saturated with flammable liquids or solids, should not be placed in the dryer, until all traces of these flammable liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed. There are many highly flammable items used in homes, such as: acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers.

•Items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-like materials must not be dried on a heat setting. Foam rubber materials when heated, can under certain circumstances, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.

3.Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children.

4.Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the drying compartment.

5.Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.

6.Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.

7.Do not tamper with controls.

8.Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

9.Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended for dryer use by the

manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

10.Clean the lint screen before or after each load.

11.Keep the area around the exhaust opening and surrounding areas free from lint accumulation, dust and dirt.

12.The interior of the dryer and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.

13.This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the appliance cord into a receptacle which is not grounded adequately and in accordance with local and national codes. See installation instructions for grounding this appliance.

14.Do not sit on top of the dryer.

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposures to such substances.

Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the burning of gas can result in low–level exposure to some of the listed substances, including benzene, formaldehyde and soot, due primarily to the incomplete combustion of natural gas or liquid petroleum (LP) fuels. Exhaust ducts should be kept free of obstructions and properly exhausted dryers will minimize exposure.

WARNING

Gas leaks may occur in your system and result in a dangerous situation. Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone. Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install an UL approved gas detector. Install and use in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
