Important Safety Instructions
WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard
Follow the safety precautions outlined in this User Guide.
Failure to do so can result in death or electric shock.
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.
Installation must conform with local codes, or in absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the Canadian Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1.
Installations and service 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.
This dryer must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions
before it is used.
This dryer, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the
absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical
Code, CSA C22.1.
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.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing, unless specifically
recommended in the published user repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to
carry out.
When disconnecting the dryer, pull by the plug rather than the cord or junction of the cord plug,
to avoid damage to the cord or junction of the cord plug.
Make sure the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subject
to stress or damage.
Do not tamper with the controls.
Note: Turning the Cycle Selector knob to anOFF position does NOT disconnect the appliance
from the power supply.
Do not operate this dryer if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled or has missing
or broken parts, including a damaged cord or plug.
This dryer must be directly connected to an approved fixed electrical outlet. It cannot be
plugged into an extension cord or an adaptor plug.

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 Flu 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.
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 FLUFF 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 the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding areas 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.
Clean the lint filter each time you use the dryer, before or after each load.

Important Safety Instructions
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, open the dryer door.
Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.
Close supervision is necessary if this dryer is used near children. Do not allow children to play
inside, around or with this dryer or any other appliance.
Never climb on, climb into, or stand on the dryer top or drum.
Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed directly in the dryer.
Damage to the dryer can result if the metal reinforcements come loose during drying. If you wish
to dry these items use a drying rack (available as an optional accessory refer to page 9).
The interior of the appliance and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified service
personnel.
When discarding or storing old clothes dryer, remove the door.

Installation Instructions
Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer.
Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local codes.
Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic venting materials. If flexible metal (foil-type)
duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified 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 airflow and increase the risk of fire.
To reduce the risk of sever injury or death, follow all installation instructions.
Save these instructions
