WHEN USING YOUR DRYER (cont.)

Safety

Operating Instructions

■Never attempt to operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or has missing or broken parts, including a damaged cord or plug.

■The interior of the machine and the exhaust duct connection inside the dryer should be cleaned at least once a year by a qualified technician. See the Sorting and Loading Hints section on page 12.

■If yours is a gas dryer, it is equipped with an automatic electric ignition and does not have a pilot light. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIGHT WITH

A MATCH. Burns may result from having your hand in the vicinity of the burner when the automatic ignition turns on.

■Do not open the dryer door during steam cycles. The steam is very hot and it will continue to exhaust from the port for several seconds after opening. Do not touch the steam port after a steam cycle.

■Do not use a steam cycle with items such as wool, leather, silk, lingerie, foam products or electric blankets.

■Do not use steam cycles on new clothes without first washing.

■You may wish to soften your laundered fabrics or reduce the static electricity in them by using a dryer-applied fabric softener or an anti-static conditioner. We recommend you use either

a fabric softener in the wash cycle, according to the manufacturer’s instructions for those products, or try a dryer-added product for which the manufacturer gives written assurance on the package that their product can be safely used in your dryer. Service or performance problems caused by use of these products are the responsibility of the manufacturers of those products and are not covered under the warranty of this appliance.

■Never attempt to use the Steam Dewrinkle or Steam Refresh cycles without clothes in the drum. Additionally, it is highly recommended to select the appropriate load size for best results. Selecting large load cycles for small loads may result in wetting of clothes, and selecting small load cycles for large loads may result in poor dewrinkling performance.

■Before discarding a dryer, or removing it from service, remove the dryer door to prevent children from hiding inside.
