Important safety instructions
WARNING:
To reduce risk of fire, electric shock,
serious injury, or death when using your
dryer, follow basic precautions, includ-
ing the following:
1. Read all instructions before
using the appliance.
2. To avoid the possibility of fire
or explosion:
a. Do not dry items that have
been previously cleaned in,
washed in, soaked in, or
spotted with gasoline, dry-
cleaning solvents, other
flammable or explosive sub-
stances as they give off
vapors that could ignite or
explode. Any material on
which you have used a
cleaning solvent, or which
is saturated with flammable
liquids or solids, should not
be placed in the dryer, until
all traces of these flammable
liquids or solids and their
fumes have been removed.
There are many highly
flammable items used in
homes, such as: acetone,
denatured alcohol, gasoline,
kerosene, some
household cleaners, some
spot removers, turpentine,
waxes and wax removers.
b. Items containing foam rub-
ber (may be labeled latex
foam) or similarly textured
rubber-like materials must
not be dried on a heat set-
ting. Foam rubber materials
when heated, can under
certain circumstances pro-
duce fire by spontaneous
combustion.
3. Do not allow children or pets to
play on, in, or in front of the
appliance. Close supervision is
necessary when the appliance
is used near children and pets.
4. Before
removed from service or dis-
carded, remove the door to
the drying compartment.
5. Do not reach into the appli-
ance if the drum is moving.
6. Do not install or store this
appliance where it will be
exposed to the weather.
7. Do not tamper with controls.
8. Do not repair or replace any
part of the appliance or
attempt any servicing unless
specifically recommended in
published user-repair instruc-
tions that you understand and
have the skills to carry out.
9. Do not use fabric softeners or
products to eliminate static
unless
dryer use by the manufacturer
of the fabric softener or prod-
uct.
10. Clean the lint screen before or
after each load.

rounding areas free from lint
accumulation, dust and dirt.

when using your dryer, follow etable oil or cooking oil. Even after
being washed, these items may contain
basic precautions, including the
significant amounts of these oils. The

remaining oil can ignite spontaneously.
The potential for spontaneous ignition
increases when the items containing
vegetable oil or cooking oil are exposed
to heat. Heat sources, such as your
clothes dryer, can warm these items,
allowing an oxidation reaction in the oil
to occur. Oxidation creates heat. If this
heat cannot escape, the items can
become hot enough to catch fire. Piling,
stacking or storing these kinds of items
may prevent heat from escaping and
can create a fire hazard.
All washed and unwashed fabrics that
contain vegetable oil or cooking oil can
be dangerous. Washing these items in
hot water with extra detergent will reduce,
but will not eliminate, the hazard. Always
use the "cool down" cycle for these items
to reduce the items' temperature. Never
remove these items from the clothes
dryer hot or interrupt the drying cycle
until the items have run through the "cool
down" cycle. Never pile or stack these
items when they are hot.
California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act (Proposition 65)—Gas
Dryers Only
The Governor of California is required to
publish a list of substances known to the
state of California to cause cancer or repro-
ductive harm and requires business to warn
customers of potential exposures to such
substances.
Gas appliances contain or produce sub-
stances which can cause death or serious
illness and which are known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects, or
other reproductive harm. To reduce the risk
from substances in fuel or from fuel com-
bustion, make sure this appliance is
installed, operated, and maintained accord-
ing to the manufacturer's instructions.
