IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer, follow basic precautions, including the
following:
■ Read all instructions before using the dryer.
■ 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 load to catch fire.
■ Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in,
washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning
solvents, other flammable, or explosive substances as they
give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
■ To reduce the risk of fire due to contaminated loads, the final
part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down
period). Avoid stopping a tumble dryer before the end of the
drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread
out so that the heat is dissipated.
■ Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is used
near children.
■ Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded,
remove the doors to the dryer compartment.
■ Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving.
■ Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to
the weather.
■ Do not tamper with controls.
■ Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer or attempt any
servicing unless specifically recommended in this Use and
Care Guide or in published user-repair instructions that you
understand and have the skills to carry out.
■ Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static
unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric
softener or product.
■ Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or
similarly textured rubber-like materials.
■ Clean lint screen before or after each load.
■ Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent
surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust,
and dirt.
■ The interior of the dryer and exhaust vent should be cleaned
periodically by qualified service personnel.
■ See “Electrical Requirements” located in the installation
instructions for grounding instructions.
■ WARNING: Risk of Fire. Do not install a booster fan in the
exhaust duct.
NOTE: The booster fan warning does not apply to clothes
dryers intended to be installed in a multiple clothes dryer
system, with an engineered exhaust duct system that is
installed per the clothes dryer manufacturer's guidelines.
■ The back of the dryer shall be installed against a wall. Refer
to the minimum installation dimensions/clearances in the
diagrams.
