Speed Queen ADEE8RGS173TW01 Owner's Manual

• Use the dryer only for its intended purpose, drying clothes. AL-

WAYS follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the gar-
ment manufacturer and only use the dryer drum to dry textiles
that have been washed in water.

• Always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions on pack-

ages of laundry and cleaning aids. Heed all warnings or precau-
tions. To reduce the risk of poisoning or chemical burns, keep
them out of reach of children at all times (preferably in a locked
cabinet).

• Remove laundry immediately after the dryer stops.
• DO NOT operate the dryer if it is smoking, grinding or has miss-

ing or broken parts or removed guards and/or panels. DO NOT
tamper with the controls or bypass any safety devices.

• DO NOT operate individual units if they have been separated

from a stack unit.

• Dryer will not operate with the loading door open. DO NOT by-

pass the door safety switch by permitting the dryer to operate
with the door open. The dryer will stop tumbling when the door
is opened. Do not use the dryer if it does not stop tumbling
when the door is opened or starts tumbling without pressing
the START mechanism. Remove the dryer from use and call the
service person.

• ALWAYS clean the lint filter after every load. A layer of lint in

the filter reduces drying efficiency and prolongs drying time.
Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surround-
ing area free from the accumulation of lint, dust and dirt. The
interior of the dryer and the exhaust duct should be cleaned
periodically by qualified service personnel.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer, or attempt any

servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-mainte-
nance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that
you understand and have the skills to carry out. ALWAYS dis-
connect the electrical power to the dryer before attempting
service. Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug, not
the cord.

• Electric Models: If supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced

by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer
or its service agent.

• Gas Models: If supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by

the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified per-
sons in order to avoid a hazard.

• Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded, remove

the door to the drying compartment.

• Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this machine accord-

ing to the manufacturer’s instructions may result in conditions
which can produce bodily injury and/or property damage.

NOTE: The WARNING and IMPORTANT SAFETY IN-

STRUCTIONS appearing in this manual are not meant to

cur. Observe and be aware of other labels and precau-

tions that are located on the machine. They are intended

mon sense, caution and care must be exercised when in-

stalling, maintaining, or operating the dryer.

ufacturer about any problems or conditions you do not under-
stand.
