•  Read all instructions before using the dryer.
•  Before use, the dryer must be properly installed 

as described in this manual.

•  Do 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. 

•  Do 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.

•  Do not reach into the dryer if the drum or any 

other part is moving.

•  Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer 

or attempt any servicing unless specifically 

recommended in this Use and Care Guide or 

in published user-repair instructions that you 

understand and have the skills to carry out.

•  Do not tamper with controls.
•  Before the dryer is removed from service or 

discarded, remove the door to the drying 

compartment.

•  Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. 

Close supervision of children is necessary when 

the dryer is used near children.

•  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.

•  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 exhaust vent 

should be cleaned periodically by qualified 

service personnel.

•  Do not install or store the dryer where it will be 

exposed to the weather.

•  Always check the inside of the dryer for foreign 

objects.
