IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
• Garments labeled “Dry Away from Heat”
(such as life jackets containing Kapok)
must not be put in your dryer.
• Do not wash or dry articles
that have been cleaned in,
washed in, soaked in, or spotted
with combustible or explosive
substances (such as wax, paint, gasoline,
degreasers, dry-cleaning solvents, kerosene,
etc.) which may ignite or explode. Do not add
these substances to the wash water. Do not use
these substances around your washer and/or
dryer during operation.
• Any article on which you have used a cleaning
solvent, or which contains flammable materials
(such as cleaning cloths, mops, towels used in
beauty salons, restaurants or barber shops, etc.)
must not be placed in or near the dryer until all
traces of these flammable liquids or solids and
their fumes have been removed. There are many
highly flammable items used in homes such as:
acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene,
some household cleaners, some spot removers,
turpentines, waxes, wax removers and products
containing petroleum distillates.
• 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.
• The interior of the machine and the exhaust
duct connection inside the dryer should be
cleaned periodically by a qualified individual.
To Minimize the Possibility of Injury
• 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 subsequent 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 followed very carefully.
• Close supervision is necessary
if this appliance is used by or
near children. Do not allow
children to play inside, on, or
with this appliance or any discarded
appliance. Dispose of discarded appliances and
shipping or packing materials properly. Before
discarding a dryer, or removing from service,
remove the door of the dryer compartment.
• Keep all laundry aids (such
as detergents, bleaches, fabric
softeners, etc.) out of the reach
of children, preferably in a locked
cabinet. Observe all warnings on
container labels to avoid personal injury.
• Keep the floor around your appliances clean
and dry to reduce the possibility of slipping.
• To minimize the possibility of electric
shock, unplug this appliance from the
power supply before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning (except the removal
and cleaning of the lint filter).
NOTE: Turning the Cycle Selector
knob to an OFF position does NOT
disconnect the appliance from the
power supply.
• Do not tamper with the controls.
