Failure to do so can result in death or electric shock.
Important safety precautions
Read all instructions carefully before using this dryer.
Use this dryer only for its intended purpose as described in this User Guide.
To minimize the possibility of electric shock, unplug this dryer from the power supply or disconnect
the dryer at the household distribution panel (by removing the fuse or switching
off the circuit breaker) before attempting any user maintenance or cleaning.
Installations must be performed by a qualified or licensed contractor, plumber or gasfitter qualified
or licensed by the state, province, or region where this appliance is being installed.

before it is used.
This dryer must be properly grounded to conform with all governing codes and ordinances. Follow
details in Installation Instructions.
Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to water or exposed to the weather.
Connect to a properly protected, rated and sized power supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.

Important safety instructions
WARNING!
Fire Hazard
Only dry fabrics that have been washed with water.
Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured
rubber-like materials. Dry on the Air Dry cycle.
A clothes dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted
outdoors. Take care to prevent the accumulation of lint around the exhaust
opening and in the surrounding area.
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless
recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or personal injury.
To reduce the risk of fire in a tumble dryer the following should be observed:
Do not place items in a tumble dryer that have previously been cleaned in, washed in, soaked
in, or spot cleaned with flammable liquids or solids. They are a fire or explosion hazard.
Highly flammable substances commonly used in domestic environments include acetone,
denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some brands of spot removers and dry cleaning solvents,
turpentine, waxes, wax removers, vegetable oil, fish oil, massage oil, and cooking oil.
Do not leave hot oil-affected items in a pile or stack. This can prevent heat from escaping and
can create a fire hazard. Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed
to heat sources such as a tumble dryer. The items become warm causing an oxidation reaction
in the oil. This oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape the items can become hot
enough to catch fire.
Do not use heat to dry items containing rubber, foam rubber, plastic or similar materials, (such
as padded bras, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants, plastic bags, pillows etc), as these materials
might melt or burn. Some rubber materials when heated can under certain circumstances
produce fire by spontaneous combustion. Dry only on the AIR DRY cycle.
Unless specifically recommended by their manufacturer, do not use fabric softeners or similar
products in a tumble dryer.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable gases and liquids near this or any other
appliance.
Keep the area around and underneath your dryer free from the accumulation of combustible
materials such as lint, paper, rags, chemicals etc.
Do not store any items that may burn or melt (such as paper materials, plastics or plastic
containers etc) next to the dryer.
Empty the lint bucket before the lint reaches the top of the transparent section (usually once a
week).
The dryer must be exhausted to the outside. Carefully follow the venting details in the
Installation instructions.
Keep the floor around your dryer clean and dry to reduce the possibility of slipping.
If your dryer is running and you want to unload or add clothes, press START/PAUSE and wait
until the machine has unlocked the lid. Do not force it open.

sufficient room behind the dryer for the exhaust. The air intake is at the rear of the dryer. Ensure
that there is a sufficient air passage on each side of the dryer for intake air.
