Important safety instructions

Grounding instructions

A) Grounding instructions for a grounded,

cord-connected appliance

In the event of malfunction or breakdown,

grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by

providing a path of least resistance for electric

current. This appliance (Canadian market only)

is equipped with a cord having an

equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding

plug. The plug must be plugged into an

appropriate outlet that is properly installed and

grounded in accordance with all local codes and

ordinances.

WARNING!

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding

conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

Check with a qualified electrician or service

representative or personnel if you are in doubt

as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not modify the plug provided with the

appliance (Canadian market only). If it will not fit

the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a

qualified electrician.

To reduce the risk of fire, this appliance must be

exhausted outdoors or the equivalent. Do not

exhaust into a chimney, wall, ceiling or concealed

space in a building.

B) Grounding instructions for a

permanently connected appliance:

This appliance must be connected to a grounded

metal, permanent wiring system, or an

equipment-grounding conductor must be run with

the circuit conductors and connected to the

equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the

appliance.

NOTE!

This manual does not cover every possible

condition and situation that may occur. Use

common sense and caution when installing,

operating, and maintaining any appliance.

Here are some tips that may help you before you

begin tumble drying.

Have the clothes been spun?

Items to be tumble dried should be spun at 1000

rpm or faster. Higher spin speeds save both

energy and drying time.

Materials that can be tumble dried

This symbol means that the material is suitable

for tumble drying. Fabrics best suited to tumble

drying are cotton fabrics, terry cloth, and synthetic

fibers. Garments will be softer and lighter when

tumbled than when hung out to dry.

NOTE!

The tumble dryer does not cause any significant

wear to fabrics. The lint trapped in the lint filter

consists of dust and fiber residues which gather

when the items are used.

Materials that should not be tumble

dried

This symbol means that the material is not

suitable for tumble drying. Certain materials may

melt or become a fire hazard if exposed to heat

and others can lose their shape or shrink.

And do not tumble dry

•materials labeled "Do not dry near heat".

•garments that have been dry-cleaned at home.

•plastic foam.

•fiberglass material.

•wool must not be tumble dried due to the risk

of piling.

NOTE!

If the door is opened during the program, the

program will be interrupted and will return to the

start. The clothes may be too damp or too dry

as a result.
