Safety
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
A clothes dryer produces combustible lint.
The dryer must be connected to an outdoors
exhaust. Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust
opening and remove any accumulation of lint
around the opening and in the surrounding area.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Clean the lint screen before or after each load.
The interior of the dryer, lint screen housing and
exhaust duct should be cleaned approximately
every 18 months by qualifi ed service personnel.
An excessive amount of lint build-up in these
areas could result in ineffi cient drying and
possible fi re. See Care and Cleaning.
PREVENT FIRE
● Do not dry items that have been previously
cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gaso-
line, cleaning solvents, kerosene, waxes, or
other fl ammable or explosive substances. Do
not store these items on or near the dryer.
These substances give off vapors that could
ignite or explode.
● Do not place items exposed to cooking oils
in your dryer. Items contaminated with cook-
ing oils may contribute to a chemical reaction
that could cause a load to catch fi re.
● Do not dry articles containing rubber, plastic
or similar materials such as bras, galoshes,
bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants, plastic
bags and pillows that may melt or burn. Some
rubber materials, when heated, can under
certain circumstances produce fi re by sponta-
neous combustion.
● Do not operate the dryer if the lint screen is
blocked, damaged or missing. Fire hazard,
overheating and damage to fabrics can
occur.
● Do not obstruct the fl ow of ventilating air.
Do not stack or place laundry or throw rugs
against the front or back of the dryer.
● Do not spray any type of aerosol into, on or
near dryer at any time.
● Do not use fabric softeners or products to
eliminate static unless recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
● 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 fi re or serious injury.
Contact a qualifi ed technician immediately.
● Failure to comply with these warnings could
result in fi re, explosion, serious bodily injury
and/or damage to the dryer.
