IMPORTANT WARNING
DANGER: Risk of child entrapment. Before
thowing away an old appliance:
• Remove the door or lid.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children
cannot easily climb into the appliance.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the
electrical current.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
The clothes dryer installation must be performed by
a qualified installer.
• Install the appliance according to the
manufacturer’s instructions and local codes.
• To reduce the risk of severe injury or death,
follow all installation instructions.
• If local codes do not permit the 3-wire power
supply cord connection, only 4-wire power
supply cord must be used.
WARNING - Improper use of the grounding
plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or service agent
if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
Do not connect your appliance to extension cords
or together with another appliance in the same wall
outlet. Do not splice the power cord. Do not under
any circumstances cut or remove the third ground
prong from the power cord.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similar qualified person in order to avoid hazard.
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
Ensure that component parts are replaced with like
components and that servicing is done by factory
authorized service personnel, to minimize the risk of
possible ignition due to incorrect parts or improper
service.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) whose physical, sensory or
mental capabilities may be different or reduced,
or who lack experience or knowledge, unless such
persons receive supervision or training to operate
the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in the
dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may
contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause
a load to catch fire. To reduce the risk of fire due
to contaminated loads, the final part of a tumble
dry cycle occurs without heat as a cool down
period. Avoid stopping the dryer before the end of
the drying cycle unless items can be immediately
removed and spread out to allow the accumulated
heat to dissipate.
Important Safety Information
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Items that have been soiled with oil products can ignite spontaneously, especially
when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The items become
warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat
cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or
storing items that have been soiled with oil can prevent heat from escaping and
create a fire hazard.
