6IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
DO NOT use fabric softeners or products
to eliminate static unless recommended by
the manufacturer of the fabric softener or
product.
Before you throw away your old
washer or dryer:
• Remove doors
• Remove the electric power cord
• Secure all hoses and drain pipes to
prevent water from leaking out and
creating a slip hazard.
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. Installation instructions are included
in this manual for reference. Refer to the
installation sections for detailed grounding
procedures. If the dryer is moved to a new
location, have it checked and reinstalled by
a qualified service professional.
• 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 cleaning. Failure to do so can
result in electrical shock or injury.
DO NOT use any type of spray cleanser
when cleaning 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 service provider unless
specifically recommended in this Use &
Care Manual. Use only authorized factory
parts.
DO NOT tamper with controls.
DO NOT sit on, step on or stand on the
dryer. DO NOT rest heavy loads on top. The
dryer is not meant to support weight.
DO NOT install or store the dryer where
it will be exposed to water and/or to the
weather.
• Failure to comply with these warnings could
result in fire, explosion, serious bodily injury
and/or damage to the dryer.
Protect children
DO NOT allow children to play on or in
the dryer. Close supervision of children
is necessary when the dryer is used near
children. As children grow, teach them the
proper, safe use of all appliances.
• Destroy the carton, plastic bag and
other packing materials after the dryer is
unpacked. Children might use them for play.
Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads
or plastic sheets can become airtight
chambers.
• Keep laundry products out of children’s
reach. To prevent personal injury, observe
all warnings on product labels.
• Before the dryer is removed from service
or discarded, remove the dryer door to
prevent accidental entrapment.
• Failure to comply with these warnings could
result in serious personal injuries.
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
washers and dryers are still dangerous –
even if they will sit for “just a few days”. If you
are getting rid of your old washer or dryer,
please follow the instructions below to help
prevent accidents.
We strongly encourage responsible
appliance recycling/disposal methods.
Contact your State/Provence Energy
Office, Local Electric and Water Utilities or
Conservation Program Office or visit www.
energystar.gov/recycle for more information
on recycling your old washer or dryer.
WARNING
DO NOT continue to use the dryer if you
hear squeaking, grinding, rubbing or
other unusual noises. This could be a sign
of mechanical breakdown and lead to
fire or serious injury. Contact a qualified
technician immediately.
