IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
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.
WHEN USING YOUR DRYER
•Never reach into the dryer while the drum is moving. Before loading, unloading, or adding clothes, wait until the drum has completely stopped.
•Clean the lint filter before each load to prevent lint accumulation inside the dryer or in the room. DO NOT OPERATE THE
DRYER WITHOUT THE LINT FILTER IN PLACE.
•Do not wash or dry articles that have been cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with combustible or explosive substances (such as wax, oil, paint, gasoline, degreasers,
•Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a clothes load to catch fire.
•Any article on which you have used a cleaning solvent or that contains flammable materials (such as cleaning cloths, mops, towels used in beauty salons, restaurants or barber shops) must not be placed in or near the dryer until solvents or flammable materials have been removed. There are many highly flammable items used in homes such as acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentines, waxes, wax removers and products containing petroleum distillates.
•The laundry process can reduce the flame retardancy of fabrics. To avoid such a result, carefully follow the garment manufacturer’s care instructions.
•Do not dry articles containing rubber, plastic, foam or similar materials such as padded bras, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants, plastic bags and pillows, that may melt or burn. Some rubber materials, when heated, can under certain circumstances produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
•Do not store plastic, paper or clothing that may burn or melt on top of the dryer during operation.
•Garments labeled Dry Away from Heat
or Do Not Tumble Dry (such as life jackets containing kapok) must not be put in your dryer.
•Do not dry fiberglass articles in your dryer. Skin irritation could result from the remaining particles that may be picked
up by clothing during subsequent dryer uses.
•To minimize the possibility of electric shock, unplug this appliance from the power supply or disconnect the dryer at the building’s distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker before attempting any maintenance or cleaning (except the removal and cleaning of the lint filter). NOTE: Pressing STOP or POWER does NOT disconnect the appliance from
the power supply.
