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