SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
1. Do not sit on top of the dryer.
2. Because of continuing product improvements, we reserves the right
of change specifications without notice. For complete details, see the
Installation Instructions packed with your product before selecting cabinetry,
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. 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 significant
amounts of these oils.
6. 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. Heat source such as your dryer can warm these items, allowing an
oxidation reaction in the oil to occur.
7. Oxidation creates 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.
8. Take care that children’s fingers are not caught in door when closing it.
This may result in injury.
Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer.
Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local
codes.
To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.
Save these instructions.
