Safety
PREVENT INJURY
To prevent shock hazard and assure stability 
• 
during operation, the dryer must be installed 
and electrically grounded by a qualifi ed service 
person in accordance with local codes. Installa-
tion instructions are packed in the dryer for the 
installer’s reference. Refer to INSTALLATION 
INSTRUCTIONS
 
for detailed grounding proce-
dures. If the dryer is moved to a new location, 
have it checked and reinstalled by a qualifi ed 
service person. 
To prevent personal injury or damage to the 
• 
dryer, the electrical power cord of a gas dryer 
must be plugged into a properly grounded and 
polarized 3-prong outlet. The third grounding 
prong must never be removed. Never ground 
the dryer to a gas pipe. Do not use an extension 
cord or an adaptor plug.
ALWAYS disconnect the dryer from the electrical 
• 
supply before attempting any service or clean-
ing. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock 
or injury.
Do not use any type spray cleanser when clean-
• 
ing dryer interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical 
shock could occur.
To prevent injury, do not reach into the dryer 
• 
if the drum is moving. Wait until the dryer has 
stopped completely before reaching into the 
drum. 
PREVENT INJURY AND DAMAGE TO THE 
DRYER
All repairs and servicing must be performed by 
• 
an authorized servicer unless specifi cally rec-
ommended in this Use & Care Guide. Use only 
authorized factory parts.
Do not tamper with controls.
• 
Do not sit on, step on or stand on the dryer. Do 
• 
not rest heavy loads on top. The dryer is not 
meant to support weight.
Do not install or store the dryer where it will be 
• 
exposed to the weather.
A thermal limiter switch automatically turns off 
• 
the motor in the unlikely event of an overheated 
situation (electric dryers only). A service techni-
cian must replace the thermal limiter switch after 
correcting the fault. 
Failure to comply with these warnings could 
• 
result in serious personal injuries.
