BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
_IARN_ NG, _ To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance,
follow basic precautions, including the following:
Read all instructions before using the dryer.
* Before use, the dryer must be properly installed, as
described in this manual.
"Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your

contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a
load to catch fire.
° Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned
in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive
substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite
or explode.
"Do not reach into the dryer if the drum or any other
part is moving.
° Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer or
attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended
in this Use and Care Guide or in published user-repair
instructions that you understand and have the skills to
carry out.
* Do not tamper with controls.
"Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded,
remove the door to the drying compartment.
• Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is
used near children.
° Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate
static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the
fabric softener or product.
• Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber
or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
° Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent
surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint,
dust, and dirt.

California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Washhands after handling.
CALiFORNiA SAFE DRINKING WATER AND TOXIC ENFORCEMENT ACT
This act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer,
birth defects, or other reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to
such substances. Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde, and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.
Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized
further by properly venting the dryer to the outdoors.
