WARNING!
WHENUSINGYOURDRYER(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 SortingandLoadingHints section on page 12.
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 Do not open the dryer door during steam cycles.
The steam is very hot and it will continue to
exhaust from the port for several seconds after
opening. Do not touch the steam port after a
steam cycle.
n Do not use a steam cycle with items such
as wool, leather, silk, lingerie, foam products
or electric blankets.
n Do not use steam cycles on new clothes without
first washing.
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
of this appliance.
n Never attempt to use the Steam Dewrinkle or
Steam Refresh cycles without clothes in the drum.
Additionally, it is highly recommended to select
the appropriate load size for best results. Selecting
large load cycles for small loads may result in
wetting of clothes, and selecting small load cycles
for large loads may result in poor dewrinkling
performance.
