Safety Precautions (Notes)

16
Cautions During Thunderstorms
• When a thunderstorm starts up, promptly stop operation,
and remove the power plug from the power outlet.
Lightning from thunderstorms causes an overcurrent
to flow momentarily which may damage electronic
components.
Handling Clothes
• Do not operate the equipment with clothes trapped in the
front door. Doing so is dangerous as it interferes with drum
rotation.
• Do not put too many clothes into the equipment. This may
cause uneven drying, damage clothes or cause equipment
malfunction. When the drum is entirely filled with spun-
dried clothes, dry the clothes in two separate batches.
• Do not leave moist washed clothes or put clothes
containing seawater inside the equipment. Moisture or
seawater may cause the equipment to rust or malfunction.
• Do not dry starched clothes. Starch may block the filter.
For starching clothes, use “spray starch” after drying the
clothes.
Laundry

Accessories & Options
• Use only the accessories provided with the equipment
or the designated options. Do not use other accessories
or options. Doing so may cause the equipment to
malfunction or cause unexpected accidents.

17
Drying Cautions
• Clothes must be sufficiently spun-dried in a washing machine
before they are dried in this equipment.
Insufficient spin-drying may increase the drying time, or cause
abnormal equipment malfunction or a short circuit.
• If chlorine-based bleaching agents have been used in washing
the clothes, thoroughly rinse before drying. Chlorine remaining
in the clothes may cause the equipment to malfunction.
• Do not put wet dripping clothes in the equipment. Doing so
might cause electric shock.
• Do not open the front door or put in extra clothes midway
during drying. This may cause uneven drying.
Safety Precautions (Notes)
Handling the Equipment
• Do not hang down from or hang heavy objects on the
equipment or front door. Doing so may cause injury or burns.
This may also cause the equipment to tip over, cause gas
leaks or incomplete combustion as a result of equipment
deformation, or cause other equipment malfunctions.
• Do not block or put things inside the discharge duct. Doing so
may increase the drying time, or cause abnormal equipment
overheating or equipment malfunction.
• If there is a power outage during use or operation is stopped
by removing the power plug by mistake, repeat equipment
operation after power is the resumed.
• Do not use aerosols containing silicon such as hair spray or
antiperspirant spray near the equipment. White powder from
the silicon sometimes sticks to the equipment.
• In case of a power failure during operation, restart the dryer
after the power is resumed.

18
Checking Ignition and Forgetting to Turn Pilot Light Out
• Check ignition during use, and check that the pilot light is out after use.
• Before going out or going to bed, check to see if you have not forgotten to turn the pilot
