Important Safety Information

Read all safety information before using

	• 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.
	• Keep the area around and
	underneath your appliances
	free from the accumulation
	of combustible materials,
	such as lint, paper, rags,
	chemicals, etc.
	• Regularly inspect the exhaust
	duct to be sure it has not been
	crushed or otherwise restricted.
	• The interior of the machine
	and the exhaust duct
	connection inside the dryer
	should be cleaned periodically
	by a qualified individual.
	• Never reach into the dryer
	while the drum is moving.
	Before loading, unloading or
	adding clothes, wait until the
	drum has completely stopped.
	• Do not dry fiberglass articles
	in your dryer. Skin irritation
	could result from the remaining
	glass particles that may be picked
	up by clothing during subse-
	quent dryer uses.
	• The laundry process can
	reduce the flame retardancy
	of fabrics. To avoid such a
	result, the garment manufacturer’s
	care instructions should be
6	followed very carefully.
