IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using

your appliance, follow basic precautions ,including the following:

• Read all instructions before using the appliance.

• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this

Owner’s Manual.

• Before use, the dryer must be properly installed as described in this

manual.

• ALWAYS follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the garment

manufacturer.

• Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed

in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other

flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could

ignite or explode.

• Do not use the dryer to dry clothes which have traces of any

flammable substance, such as vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine

oil, flammable chemicals, thinner, etc., or anything containing

wax or chemicals, such as mops and cleaning clothes. Flammable

substances may cause the fabric to catch fire by itself.

• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids

near this or any other appliance.

• Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close

supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near

children.

Troubleshooting

• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt

any servicing unless it is specifically recommended in the user-

maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that

you understand and have the skills to carry out.

• Keep the area underneath and around your appliances free of

combustible materials (lint, paper, rags, etc.), gasoline, chemicals and

other flammable vapors and liquids.

• 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. To reduce the risk of

fire due to contaminated loads, the final part of a tumble dryer cycle

occurs without heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping a tumble

dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly

removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

• Turn off the water faucets and unplug the washer if the machine is to

be left for an extended period of time, such as during vacations.

• Packaging material can be dangerous for children. There is a risk of

suffocation! Keep all packaging from children.

• Always check the inside of the dryer for foreign objects before

loading laundry. Keep the door closed when not in use.

• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless

recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product

manufacture.

• Clean the lint screen before or after each load.

• Keep the area around the exhaust opening and surrounding areas

free from lint, dust, and dirt.

• The interior of the dryer and exhaust duct should be cleaned

periodically by qualified service personnel.

• 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.

• This appliance must be grounded. See “Electric Requirements” and

“Grounding” in the “Operation Requirements” section.

• This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the power

cord into a receptacle that is not grounded adequately and in

accordance with local and national codes. Refer to installation

instructions for grounding this appliance.

• Ensure pockets are free from small irregularly shaped hard objects

and foreign material, i.e. coins, knives, pins, etc. These objects could

damage your dryer.

• Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly

textured rubber like - materials.

WARNING

CAUTION

To reduce the risk of fire or explosion

• Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked,

or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or

explosive substances. They emit vapors that could ignite or explode.

Any material that has been in contact with a cleaning solvent or

flammable liquids or solids should not be placed in the dryer until all

traces of these flammable liquids or solids and their fumes have been

removed.

• There are many highly flammable items used in homes, such

as acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some liquid

household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes, and wax

removers.

• Do not dry items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex

foam) or similarly textured rubber-like materials on a heat setting.

Heated foam rubber materials can, under certain circumstances,

produce fire by spontaneous combustion.

• Do not sit on top of the dryer.

• Because of continuing product improvements, Crosley

reserves the right of change specifications without notice. For

complete details, see the Installation Instructions packed with your

product before selecting cabinetry, making cutouts, or beginning

installation.

• Do not dry clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal

or solid things.

• Install and use in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Do not place items in your dryer that have been spotted or soaked

with vegetable oil or cooking oil. Even after being washed, these

items may contain significant amounts of these oils.

• Residual oil on clothing can ignite spontaneously. The potential for

spontaneous combustion increases when items containing vegetable

oil or cooking oil are exposed to heat. Heat source such as your dryer

can warm these items, allowing an oxidation reaction in the oil to

occur.

• Oxidation creates heat. If this heat cannot escape, the items can

become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking, or storing these

kinds of items may prevent heat from escaping and can create a fire

hazard.

• Take care that children’s fingers are not caught in door when closing

it. This may result in injury.

• Gas leaks may occur in your system, resulting in a dangerous

situation.

• Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone.

• Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install a UL approved

gas detector.

to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These

conditions will obstruct with the clothes dryer’s

airflow and increase the risk of fire.

• To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all

installation instructions

• Save these instructions.

IMPORTANT TO INSTALLER
