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

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,

to the weather.
