1. PRECAUTION

1.1 Safety precaution

For your safety the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion,

or to prevent property damage, personal injury or death.

–Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other

appliance.

–WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:

• Do not try to light any appliance.

• Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.

• Clear the room, building, or area of all occupants.

• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

–Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.

1.2 Warning

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.

Before the appliance is removed from

service or discarded, remove the lid of the

washing or door of the drying compartment.

Do not reach into the appliance if the drum

is moving.

Do not install or store this appliance where it

will be exposed to the weather or freezing

temperatures.

Do not tamper with the controls.

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

dryer 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.

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 “INSTALLATION 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.

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.

1.3 Caution

Do not sit on top of the dryer.

Because of continuing product

improvements, Midea America 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 heavymetal 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.
