IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
immediately follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow
instructions.
� Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or
similarly textured rubber-like materials.
� Clean lint screen before or after each load.
� Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent
surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust,
and dirt.
� The interior of the appliance and exhaust duct should be
cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
� 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. To
reduce the risk of fire due to contaminated loads, the final
part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down
period). Avoid stopping a tumble dryer before the end of the
drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and
spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
� Do not use replacement parts that have not been
recommended by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at
home using a 3D printer).
� See the Installation Instructions for grounding requirements
and installation.
