Important Safety Instructions

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

WARNING: For your safety, the infor- mation in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion or to prevent property damage, personal injury or death.

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

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

•Do not try to light any appliance.

•Do not touch any electrical switch.

•Do not use any phone in your building.

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

•Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbors phone. Follow the gas sup- plier’s instructions.

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

Installation and service must be per- formed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.

WARNING

Because gas may escape from your system which may not be detected by smell alone, resulting in a potential- ly extremely dangerous situation, it is recommended by gas suppliers that you purchase and install a UL- approved gas detector(s) in your home. Your local gas supplier can assist you in obtaining a gas detector. Please install, maintain and use the gas detector in accordance with the gas detector manufacturer’s instructions.
