IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(Save These Instructions)
a WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, serious injury
or death to persons when
using the dryer unit, follow
these basic precautions:
1. Read all instructions before
using the dryer.
2. Refer to the EARTHING
INSTRUCTIONS in the
INSTALLATION manual for
the proper earthing of the
dryer.
3. Do not dry articles that have
been previously cleaned in,
soaked in, washed in, or
spotted with gasoline, dry-
cleaning solvents, other
flammable or explosive
substances as they give off
vapors that could ignite or
explode.
4. Do not allow children to play
on or in the dryer. Close
supervision of children is
necessary when the dryer unit
is used near children. This is
a safety rule for all appliances.
5. Before the dryer is removed
from service or discarded,
remove the door to the drying
compartment.
6. Do not reach into the dryer if
the cylinder is revolving.
7. Do not install or store the dryer
where it will be exposed to
water and/or weather.
8. Do not tamper with the
controls.
9. Do not repair or replace any
part of the dryer, or attempt
any servicing unless
specifically recommended in
the User-Maintenance
Instructions or in published
user-repair instructions that
you understand and have the
skills to carry out.
10. Do not use fabric softeners or
products to eliminate static
unless recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric
softener or product.
11. To reduce the risk of fire, DO
NOT DRY plastics or articles
containing foam rubber or
similarly textured rubberlike
materials.
12. ALWAYS clean the lint filter
after every load. A layer of lint
in the filter reduces drying
efficiency and prolongs drying
time.
13. Keep area around the exhaust
opening and adjacent
surrounding area free from the
accumulation of lint, dust and
dirt.
14. The interior of the dryer and
the exhaust duct should be
cleaned periodically by
qualified service personnel.
15. If a gas dryer is not installed,
operated and maintained in
accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions
or if there is damage to or
mishandling of the gas dryer’s
components, use of the gas
dryer could expose you to
substances in the fuel or from
fuel combustion which can
cause death or serious illness.
16. Dryer will not operate with the
loading door open. DO NOT
by-pass the door safety switch
by permitting the dryer to
operate with the door open.
The dryer will stop tumbling
when the door is opened. Do
not use the dryer if it does not
stop tumbling when the door is
opened or starts tumbling
without pressing the START
mechanism. Remove the dryer
unit from use and call the
serviceman.
17. To reduce the risk of fire, DO
NOT put clothes which have
traces of any flammable
substances such as vegetable
oil, cooking oil, machine oil,
flammable chemicals, thinner,
etc., or anything containing
wax or chemicals such as in
mops and cleaning cloths, or
anything dry-cleaned at home
with a dry-cleaning solvent in
the dryer.
18. Use the dryer only for its
intended purpose, drying
clothes.
