IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
ɃRead all instructions before using the appliance.
ɃDo not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in,
soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other
flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that could
ignite or explode.
ɃDo not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision
of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children.
ɃBefore the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove
the door to the drying compartment.
ɃDo not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.
ɃDo not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the
weather.
ɃDo not tamper with controls.
ɃDo not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any
servicing unless specifically recommended in the user maintenance
instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you
understand and have the skills to carryout.
ɃDo not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless
recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
ɃDo not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly
textured rubber-like materials.
ɃClean lint screen before or after each load.
ɃKeep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding areas
free from the accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.
ɃThe interior of the appliance and exhaust duct should be cleaned
periodically by qualified service personnel.
ɃDo not place items exposed to cooking oils in your 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 dryer cycle occurs
without heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping 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.
ɃDo not use replacement parts that have not been recommended by the
manufacturer (e.g. parts made at home using a 3D printer).
ɃSee the Installation Instructions for grounding requirements and
installation.
