DRYER SAFETY
DRYER SAFETY
■
The appliance must be disconnected from it's power
source during service and when replacing parts.
■
If drum rotation is blocked due to trapped textiles,
disconnect the dryer from the electrical supply before
gently removing the blockage.
■
If the dryer is not heating, or appears to be defective or
damaged, do not use it. Contact the owner.
■
Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed
to the weather.
■
Do not tamper with controls.
■
Clean dryer lint screen before or after each load.
■
Do not use this dryer without the lint screen in place.
■
Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer or attempt
any servicing unless specifically recommended in this
Installation Instructions that you understand and have the
skills to carry out.
■
Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as
specified by the fabric softener instructions.
■
Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps,
waterproof textiles, rubber-backed articles and clothes or
pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried
in the tumble dryer.
■
The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without
heat (cool-down cycle) to ensure that the articles are left
at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be
damaged.
■
WARNING:
Never stop 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. (Avoids risk of
spontaneous combustion).
■
In case of electrical supply failure, remove the load
quickly and spread it out to avoid risk of spontaneous
combustion.
■
Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent
surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint,
dust, and dirt.
■
The fresh air ventilation openings into the room and into
the dryer must not be blocked or sealed.
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.
■
This dryer is intended only for drying clothes and textiles
that have been washed in water. Do not use for any other
purpose.
■
WARNING:
If you smell gas, do not use the dryer or any
electrical equipment nearby. Warn other people to clear the
area. Contact the dryer owner immediately.
■
If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or
cooking oil or that have been contaminated by hair care
products be placed in a tumble dryer, they should first be
washed in hot water with extra detergent – this will reduce,
but not eliminate the hazard.
■
Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in,
washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gas, dry-cleaning
solvents, other flammable, or explosive substances as they
give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
■
Items that have been soiled with substances such as
cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, gas, kerosene, spot removers,
turpentine, waxes, and wax removers should be washed in
hot water with extra detergent before being dried in the
dryer.
■
Do not dry unwashed items in the dryer.
■
Do not use this dryer if industrial chemicals have been used
for cleaning. The possible presence of residual quantities
of aggressive or decomposed chemicals in the load may
produce damage to the dryer and harmful fumes.
■
Do not allow children to play on, in, or with the dryer. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is used
near children.
■
This dryer is not intended for use by persons (including
children aged from 8 years and above) with reduced
physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience or knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the dryer by a
person responsible for their safety.
■
Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded,
remove the door to the dryer compartment.
■
Only authorized spare parts shall be used in the event of
failure.
