w
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
dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may
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 owner's manual 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.

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.
• 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.
• The interior of the dryer and exhaust vent should be
cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
• Do not install or store the dryer where it will be
exposed to the weather.
• Always check the inside of the dryer for foreign
objects.
• Clean lint screen before or after each load.
• Do not store plastic, paper, or clothing that may
burn or melt on top of the dryer during operation.
• Be careful when opening and closing the door. Fingers
and hands can get caught in the door and cause injury
if the door drops forward unexpectedly.
• Do not place heavy items on or lean against the top
of the door when it is open.
• Do not attempt to pull the hamper door open more
than 40 degrees.
• The dryer could tip forward, causing injury or damage.
• Do not place items on the top of the dryer.
