DRYER SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
Read all instructions before using the dryer.
This dryer is intended only for drying clothes and textiles
that have been washed in water. Do not use for any other
purpose.
WARNING: If you smell gas, do not use the dryer or any
electrical equipment nearby. Warn other people to clear the
area. Contact the dryer owner immediately.
Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer.
ltems contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a
chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.
Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in,
washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning
solvents, other flammable, or explosive substances as they
give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
Do not dry unwashed items in the dryer.
Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is used
near children.
Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded,
remove the door to the dryer compartment.
Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving.
Do not open door while dryer is in operation. It will stop.
Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to
the weather.
Do not tamper with controls.
Clean dryer lint screen before or after each load.
Do not use this dryer without the lint screen in place.
Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer or attempt any
servicing unless specifically recommended in this Installation
Instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you
understand and have the skills to carry out.
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static
unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric
softener or product.
Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or
similarly textured rubber-like materials.
The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat
(cool-down cycle) to ensure that the articles are left at a
temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.
WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of
the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and
spread out so that the heat is dissipated. (Avoids risk of
spontaneous combustion).
Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent
surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust,
and dirt.
The interior of the dryer and dryer exhaust vent should be
cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
See “Electrical Requirements” section for grounding
instructions.

Gas Dryer Grounding
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
@ For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
This dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock
by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.
This dryer uses a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
@ For a permanently connected dryer:
This dryer must be connected to a grounded metal,
permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding
conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and
connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on
the dryer.
WARNING: improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service representative
or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug on the power
supply cord: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
