IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS)
1. Read all instructions before using the tumbler.
2. Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS for the proper grounding of the tumbler.
3. 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.
4. Do not allow children to play on or in the tumbler. Close supervision of children is necessary when the tumbler is
used near children. This is a safety rule for all appliances.
5. Before the tumbler is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the drying compartment.
6. Do not reach into the tumbler if the cylinder is revolving.
7. Do not install or store the tumbler where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.
8. Do not tamper with the controls.
9. Do not repair or replace any part of the tumbler, or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the
User-Maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to
carry out.
10. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric
softener or product.
11. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT DRY plastics or articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured
rubberlike materials.
12. Always clean the lint filter before every load. A layer of lint in the filter reduces drying efficiency and prolongs
drying time.
13. Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding area free from the accumulation of lint, dust and
dirt.
14. The interior of the tumbler and the exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
15. If not installed, operated and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions or if there is damage to
or mishandling of this product’s components, use of this product could expose you to substances in the fuel or from
fuel combustion which can cause death or serious illness and which are known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
16. Tumbler will not operate with the loading door open. DO NOT bypass the door safety switch by permitting the
tumbler to operate with the door open. The tumbler will stop tumbling when the door is opened. Do not use the
tumbler if it does not stop tumbling when the door is opened or starts tumbling without pressing or turning the
START mechanism. Remove the tumbler from use and call the serviceman. Tumbler will not operate with lint
panel open. DO NOT bypass lint panel safety switch by permitting the tumbler to operate with the lint panel open.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death to persons when using
your tumbler, follow these basic precautions: W054
WARNING

6M413620
17. Do not put articles soiled with vegetable or cooking oil in the tumbler, as these oils may not be removed during
drying. Due to the remaining oil, the fabric may catch on fire by itself.
18. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT put clothes which have traces of any flammable substances such as machine
oil, flammable chemicals, thinner, etc. or anything containing wax or chemicals such as in mops and cleaning
cloths, or anything dry-cleaned at home with a dry-cleaning solvent in the tumbler.
19. Use the tumbler only for its intended purpose, drying fabrics.
20. ALWAYS disconnect the electrical power to the tumbler before servicing. Disconnect power by shutting off
appropriate breaker or fuse.
21. Install this tumbler according to these INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. All connections for electrical power,
grounding, and gas supply must comply with local codes and be made by licensed personnel when required. Do not
do it yourself unless you know how!
22. Remove laundry immediately after the tumbler stops.
23. Always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions on packages of laundry and cleaning aids. Heed all warnings
or precautions. To reduce the risk of poisoning or chemical burns, keep them out of reach of children at all times
(preferably in a locked cabinet).
24. Do not tumble fiberglass curtains and draperies unless the label says it can be done. If they are dried, wipe out the
cylinder with a damp cloth to remove particles of fiberglass.
25. Always follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the garment manufacturer.
26. Never operate the tumbler with any guards and/or panels removed.
27. DO NOT operate the tumbler with missing or broken parts.
