IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

PROTECT CHILDREN

Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close 

• 

supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is 

used near children. As children grow, teach them the 

proper, safe use of all appliances.
Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing ma-

• 

terials after the dryer is unpacked. Children might use 

them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads 

or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers.
Keep laundry products out of children’s reach. To pre-

• 

vent personal injury, observe all warnings on product 

labels.
Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded, 

• 

remove the dryer door to prevent accidental entrapment.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in 

• 

serious personal injuries.

PREVENT INJURY

To prevent shock hazard and assure stability during 

• 

operation, the dryer must be installed and electrically 

grounded by a qualifi ed service person in accordance with 

local codes. Installation instructions are packed in the 

dryer for the installer’s reference. Refer to INSTALLATION 

INSTRUCTIONS for detailed grounding procedures. If the 

dryer is moved to a new location, have it checked and 

reinstalled by a qualifi ed service person. 
To prevent personal injury or damage to the dryer, the 

• 

electrical power cord of a gas dryer must be plugged into 

a properly grounded and polarized 3-prong outlet. The 

third grounding prong must never be removed. Never 

ground the dryer to a gas pipe. Do not use an extension 

cord or an adaptor plug.

ALWAYS disconnect the dryer from the electrical supply 

• 

before attempting any service or cleaning. Failure to do so 

can result in electrical shock or injury.
Do not use any type spray cleanser when cleaning dryer 

• 

interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could occur.
To prevent injury, do not reach into the dryer if the drum 

• 

is moving. Wait until the dryer has stopped completely 

before reaching into the drum.

PREVENT INJURY AND DAMAGE TO THE DRYER

All repairs and servicing must be performed by an 

• 

authorized servicer unless specifi cally recommended in 

this Owner’s Guide. Use only authorized factory parts.
Do not tamper with controls.

• 

Do not install or store the dryer where it will be ex-

• 

posed to the weather.
A thermal limiter switch automatically turns off the 

• 

motor in the unlikely event of an overheated situation 

(electric dryers only). A service technician must replace 

the thermal limiter switch after correcting the fault. 
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in 

• 

serious personal injuries.
