Important Safety Instructions - Whirlpool 3RAWZ480E Guide D'utilisation Et D'entretien

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
Read all instructions before using the dryer.
Gas dryers should only be installed in a room if the room
meets the appropriate ventilation requirements specified in
the national installation regulations. Make sure the room
containing the dryer has an adequate air supply for gas
combustion and/or drying operation. A window or
equivalent means of ventilation must be opened in the
room when the dryer is in use (an equivalent form of
opening includes an adjustable louvre, hinged panel, or
other means of ventilation that opens directly to outside
air).
Keep a minimum clearance of 10 cm (4 in.) between the
rear of the dryer and any wall.
The operation of this appliance may affect the operation of
other types of gas appliances which take their air supply for
safe combustion from the same room. There has to be
adequate ventilation to replace exhausted air and thus
avoid the back-flow of gases into the room from appliances
burning other fuels, including open fires, when operating
the tumble dryer. If in doubt, consult the appliance
manufacturers.
Do not obstruct the air supply to the dryer (see Installation
Instructions for minimum clearances).
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, cooking oils, or other flammable, or
explosive substances as they give off vapours that could
ignite or explode.
Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is used
near children.
