Safety information
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
These warning signs are here to prevent injury to yourself and others.
Please follow them explicitly.
After reading this manual, store it in a safe place for future reference.
Read all instructions before using the appliance.
As with any equipment that uses electricity and moving parts, potential hazards exist. To
safely operate this appliance, familiarize yourself with its operation and exercise care when
using it.
WARNING - Risk of Fire
• Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualied installer.
• Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local codes.
• Do not install a clothes dryer with exible plastic venting materials. If exible metal
(foil type) duct is installed, it must be of a specic type identied by the appliance
manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes dryers. Flexible venting materials are
known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct
clothes dryer airow and increase the risk of re.
• To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.
• Save these instructions.
Important safety precautions
WARNING
To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance,
follow basic precautions, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using this appliance.
2. Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted
with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other ammable or explosive substances, as they
give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
3. Do not use the dryer to dry clothes which have traces of any ammable substance,
such as vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine oil, ammable chemicals, paint thinner, etc.,
or anything containing wax or chemicals, such as mops and cleaning cloths. Flammable
substances may cause the fabric to catch re by itself.

Safety information
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - To reduce the risk of re or explosion:
• Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with
gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other ammable or explosive substances. They emit
vapors that could ignite or explode. Any material that has been in contact with a cleaning
solvent or ammable liquids or solids should not be placed in the dryer until all traces of
these ammable liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed.
There are many highly ammable items used in homes, such as acetone, denatured
alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household cleaners, some spot removers,
turpentine, wpees, and wpe removers.
• Items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex foam) or similarly textured rubberlike
materials must not be dried on a heat setting. Heated foam rubber materials can, under
certain circumstances, produce re by spontaneous combustion.
WARNING - What to do if you smell gas:
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not turn on the appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch.
• Do not use any phone in your building.
• Clear the room, building or area of all occupants.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s
instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the re department.
• Installation and service must be performed by a qualied installer, service agency, or the
gas supplier.
WARNING - Gas Appliances:
This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and
reproductive toxicity.
Gas appliances can cause low-level exposure to Proposition 65 listed substances, including
but not limited to , benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, substances resulting
from the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.

Safety information
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the power cord into a receptacle
that is not grounded adequately or not in accordance with local and national codes. See
installation instructions for information about grounding this appliance.
Do not sit on top of the dryer.
Do not wash clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal or solid objects.
Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone.
Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install a UL-approved gas detector.
Install and use in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not place items in your dryer that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable oil or
cooking oil. Even after being washed, these items may contain signicant amounts of these
oils.
Residual oil on clothing can ignite spontaneoulsy. The potential for spontaneous combustion
increases when items containing vegetable oil or cooking oil are exposed to heat. Heat
sources such as your dryer can warm these items, allowing an oxidation reaction in the oil to
occur. Oxidation creates heat. If this heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough
to catch re. Piling, stacking, or storing these kinds of items may prevent heat from escaping
and can create a re hazard.
All washed and unwashed fabrics that contain vegetable oil or cooking oil can be dangerous.
Washing these items in hot water with extra detergent will reduce, but not eliminate, the
hazard. Always use the Cool Down cycle for these items to reduce their temperature. Never
remove these items from the dryer hot or interrupt the drying cycle until the items have run
through the Cool Down cycle. Never pile or stack these items when they are hot..
