SAFETY and PRECAUTIONS

www.insigniaproducts.com

• There are many highly flammable items used in 

homes, such as acetone, denatured alcohol, 
gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household 
cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes, 
and wax removers.

• Do not dry items containing foam rubber (may be 

labeled latex foam) or similarly textured 
rubber-like materials on a heat setting. Heated 
foam rubber materials can, under certain 
circumstances, produce fire by spontaneous 
combustion.

Basic Precautions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1

Read all instructions before using the appliance.

2

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose 
as described in this 

User Guide.

3

Before use, your dryer must be properly 
installed as described in this guide.

4

Always follow the fabric care instructions 
supplied by the garment manufacturer.

5

Do not dry articles that have been previously 
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with 
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other 
flammable or explosive substances as they give 
off vapors that could ignite or explode.

6

Do not use your dryer to dry clothes which have 
traces of any flammable substance, such as 
vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine oil, 
flammable chemicals, thinner, etc., or anything 
containing wax or chemicals, such as mops and 
cleaning clothes. Flammable substances may 
cause the fabric to catch fire by itself.

7

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable 
vapors and liquids near this or any other 
appliance.

8

Do not allow children to play on or in the 
appliance. Close supervision of children is 
necessary when the appliance is used near 
children.

9

When discarding or storing your old clothes 
dryer, remove the door.

10

Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is 
moving.

11

Do not install or store this appliance where it 
will be exposed to the weather or freezing 
temperatures.

12

Do not tamper with the controls.

13

Do not repair or replace any part of the 
appliance or attempt any servicing unless it is 
specifically recommended in the 
user-maintenance instructions or in published 
user-repair instructions that you understand 
and have the skills to carry out.

14

To avoid the risk of fire, unplug the power cord if 
your dryer is to be left for an extended period of 
time, such as during vacations.

15

Packaging material can be dangerous for 
children. There is a risk of suffocation! Keep all 
packaging away from children.

16

Always check the inside of the dryer for foreign 
objects before loading laundry. Keep the door 
closed when not in use.

17

Do not use fabric softeners or products to 
eliminate static unless recommended by the 
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

18

Clean the lint screen before or after each load.

19

Keep the area around the exhaust opening and 
surrounding areas free from lint, dust, and dirt.

20

The interior of your dryer and the exhaust duct 
should be cleaned periodically by qualified 
service personnel.

21

This appliance must be properly grounded. 
Never plug the power cord into a receptacle that 
is not grounded adequately and in accordance 
with local and national codes. See  Electric 
requirements—Canada only on
 page 14 or 
Electric requirements—U.S. only on page 15 and 
Grounding requirements on page 16.

22

Make sure that pockets are free from small 
irregularly shaped hard objects and foreign 
material (such as coins, knives, and pins). These 
objects could damage your dryer.

23

Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam 
rubber or similarly textured rubber-like 
materials.

24

Gas leaks may occur in your system, resulting in 
a dangerous situation. 

25

Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone.

26

Gas suppliers recommend that you purchase 
and install a UL approved gas detector.

1

Do not sit on top of the dryer.

2

Because of continuing product improvements, 
we reserve the right to change specifications 
without notice. For complete details, see the 
installation instructions in this 

User Guide

 before 

selecting cabinets, making cutouts, or 
beginning installation.

3

Do not dry clothing with large buckles, buttons, 
or other heavy metal or solid things.

4

Install and use in accordance with the 
manufacturer’s instructions.

5

Residual oil on clothing can ignite 
spontaneously. The potential for spontaneous 
combustion increases when items containing 
vegetable oil or cooking oil are exposed to heat. 
If this heat cannot escape, the items can 
become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, 
stacking, or storing these kinds of items may 
prevent heat from escaping and can create a fire 
hazard.

6

Take care that children’s fingers are not caught 
in the door when closing it. This may result in 
injury.
