rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials, or items containing feathers or

down. UseAir Fluff (No Heat) only.

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 qualified service personnel. An excessiveamount of lint build-up in

these areas could result in inefficient drying and possible fire. See Care and

Cl_, page 6.

Do not operate the dryer if the lint screen is blocked, damaged or

missing. Firehazard, overheating and damage to fabrics can occur. Ifyour dryer has

a drying rack, always replace the lint screen when finished using the drying rack.

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.

contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could

cause a load to catch fire.
