,WARNING - To reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons when using your appliance,
follow basic precautions, including
the following:
Read all instructions before using
the appliance.
Do not dry articles that have been
previously cleaned, washed,
soaked or spotted with gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents or other
flammable or explosive substances.
They may give off vapors that could
ignite or explode.
Do not allow children to play on or
in the appliance. Close supervision
is necessary when the appliance is
used near children. Always close the
door after use to prevent child hazards.
Before this appliance is removed
for service or discarded, remove
the door to the drying compartment.
Do not reach into the dryer if the
drum is moving.
Do not install or store this
appliance where it will be exposed
to the weather.
Do not tamper
with the controls.
Do not repair or replace any part of
the appliance or attempt any
servicing unless specifically
recommended in these operating
instructions. Repairs to electrical
appliances should only be performed
by qualified personnel. Incorrectly
repaired machines may pose a
considerable risk to the user.
Do not use fabric softener sheets
to eliminate static in this dryer. Best
results are achieved when a liquid
softener is used in the washer.
Do not use heat to dry articles
containing foam rubber or similarly
textured rubber-like materials, or items
containing hair spray, nail polish
remover or similar substances.
Clean the lint filter before or after
each load.
Keep the area around the air intake
(toe kick) and adjacent
surrounding areas free from lint, dust
and dirt.
The interior of the machine should
be cleaned periodically by
qualified personnel.
Do not place items exposed to oils
in your dryer. Items contaminated
with oils may contribute to a chemical
reaction that could cause the laundry to
catch fire.
This dryer is intended for
residential use only!

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance 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 appliance is equipped with 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.
WARNING – Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. Contact a qualified electrician if
you are in doubt as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided
with the appliance: if it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
