WHEN USING YOUR DRYER (cont.)
n Never attempt to operate this appliance if it is
damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled,
or has missing or broken parts, including a
damaged cord or plug.
n The interior of the machine and the exhaust
duct connection inside the dryer should be cleaned
at least once a year by a qualified technician.
See the Loading and Using the Dryer section.
n If yours is a gas dryer, it is equipped with an
automatic electric ignition and does not have
a pilot light. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO lIGHT WITH A
MATCH. Burns may result from having your hand
in the vicinity of the burner when the automatic
ignition turns on.
n You may wish to soften your laundered fabrics
or reduce the static electricity in them by using
a dryer-applied fabric softener or an anti-static
conditioner. We recommend you use either
a fabric softener in the wash cycle, according
to the manufacturer’s instructions for those
products, or try a dryer-added product for which
the manufacturer gives written assurance on
the package that their product can be safely
used in your dryer. Service or performance
problems caused by use of these products
are the responsibility of the manufacturers
of those products and are not covered under
the warranty to this appliance.
