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.
