To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury

or death to persons when using your dryer, follow

these basic precautions:

W130

• Read all instructions before using the dryer.
• Install this dryer according to the INSTALLATION INSTRUC-

TIONS. Refer to the EARTH/GROUND INSTRUCTIONS in the IN-
STALLATION manual for the proper earth/ground connection of
the dryer. All connections for electrical power, earth/ground
and gas supply must comply with local codes and be made by
licensed personnel when required. Do not do it yourself.

• Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to wa-

ter and/or weather.

• Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed

in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline or machine oils, vegetable
or cooking oils, cleaning waxes or chemicals, dry-cleaning sol-
vents, thinner, anything containing chemicals such as in mops
and cleaning cloths, or other flammable or explosive substances
as they give off vapors that could ignite, explode or cause fabric
to catch on fire by itself.

• Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking

oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpen-
tine, waxes and wax removers, should be washed in hot water
with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the
tumble dryer.

• To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT DRY plastics or articles con-

taining foam or latex rubber or similarly textured rubberlike ma-
terials, such as shower caps, water proof textiles, rubber-
backed articles, and clothes or pillows filled with foam rubber
pads.

• Do not tumble fiberglass curtains and draperies unless the la-

bel says it can be done. If they are dried, wipe out the cylinder
with a damp cloth to remove particles of fiberglass.

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

of children is necessary when the dryer is used near children.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including chil-
dren) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety. This is a safety rule for
all appliances.

• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children

without supervision.

• Children less than three years should be kept away unless con-

tinuously supervised.

• Do not reach into the dryer if the cylinder is revolving.
