Safety

PREVENT INJURY

To prevent shock hazard and assure stability

•

during operation, the dryer must be installed

and electrically grounded by a qualified service

person in accordance with local codes. Installa-

tion instructions are packed in the dryer for the

installer’s reference. Refer to

INSTALLATION

INSTRUCTIONS for detailed grounding proce-

dures. If the dryer is moved to a new location,

have it checked and reinstalled by a qualified

service person.
To prevent personal injury or damage to the

•

dryer, the electrical power cord of a gas dryer

must be plugged into a properly grounded and

polarized 3-prong outlet. The third grounding

prong must never be removed. Never ground

the dryer to a gas pipe. Do not use an extension

cord or an adaptor plug.
ALWAYS disconnect the dryer from the electrical

•

supply before attempting any service or clean-

ing. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock

or injury.
Do not use any type spray cleanser when clean-

•

ing dryer interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical

shock could occur.
To prevent injury, do not reach into the dryer

•

if the drum is moving. Wait until the dryer has

stopped completely before reaching into the

drum.

PREVENT INJURY AND DAMAGE TO THE
DRYER

All repairs and servicing must be performed by

•

an authorized servicer unless specifically rec-

ommended in this

Use & Care Guide. Use only

authorized factory parts.
Do not tamper with controls.

•

Do not install or store the dryer where it will be

•

exposed to the weather.
A thermal limiter switch automatically turns off

•

the motor in the unlikely event of an overheated

situation (electric dryers only). A service techni-

cian must replace the thermal limiter switch after

correcting the fault.
Failure to comply with these warnings could

•

result in serious personal injuries.
