To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death to persons when using your dryer, follow these basic precautions:

W130

1.Read all instructions before using the dryer.

2.Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in the INSTALLATION manual for the proper grounding of the dryer.

3.Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, soaked in, washed in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

4.Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is used near children. This is a safety rule for all appliances.

5.Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the drying compartment.

6.Do not reach into the dryer if the cylinder is revolving.

7.Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to the water and/or weather.

8.Do not tamper with the controls.

9.Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer, or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the User-Maintenance Instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

10.Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

11.To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT DRY plastics or articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubberlike materials.

12.Always clean the lint filter after every load. A layer of lint in the filter reduces drying efficiency and prolongs drying time.

13.Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding area free from the accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.

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

15.This gas appliance contains or produces a chemical or chemicals which can cause death or serious illness and which are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. To reduce the risk from substances in the fuel or from fuel combustion, make sure this appliance is installed, operated, and maintained according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

16.Dryer will not operate with the loading door open. DO NOT by-pass the door safety switch by permitting the dryer to operate with the door open. The dryer will stop tumbling when the door is opened. Do not use the dryer if it does not stop tumbling when the door is opened or starts tumbling without pressing or turning the START mechanism. Remove the dryer from use and call the service person.

17.Do not put articles soiled with vegetable or cooking oil in the dryer, as these oils may not be removed during washing. Due to the remaining oil, the fabric may catch on fire by itself.

18.To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT put clothes which have traces of any flammable substances such as machine oil, flammable chemicals, thinner, etc. or anything containing wax or chemicals such as in mops and cleaning cloths, or anything dry- cleaned at home with dry- cleaning solvent in the dryer.

19.Use the dryer only for its intended purpose, drying clothes.

20.Always disconnect the electrical power to the dryer before attempting service. Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.
