,WARNING - To reduce the risk of

fire, electric shock, or injury to

persons when using your appliance,

follow basic precautions, including

the following:

~It is essential to read all instructions

before using the appliance.

~Do not allow children to play on or in

the appliance. Close supervision is

necessary when the appliance is used

near children. Always close the door

after use to prevent child hazards.

~Before this appliance is removed for

service or discarded, remove the door

to the drying compartment.

~Do not reach into the dryer if the

drum is moving.

~Do not install or store this appliance

where it will be exposed to the weather.

~Do not tamper

with the controls.

~Do not repair or replace any part of

the appliance or attempt any servicing

unless specifically recommended in

these operating instructions. Repairs to

electrical appliances should only be

performed by qualified personnel.

Incorrectly repaired machines may

pose a considerable risk to the user.

~Do not use fabric softener sheets to

eliminate static in this dryer. Best

results are achieved when a liquid

softener is used in the washer. Follow

the manufacturers instructions.

~To prevent the risk of fire, the

following textiles must not be dried in

this dryer:

–items which have not been washed.

–items, such as work-wear, exposed

to grease, oils, or other deposits

(such as lotions or cosmetics) in your

dryer. If these items have not been

thoroughly cleaned there is a danger

that they may contribute to a

chemical reaction that could cause

the laundry to ignite when heated

even after being removed from the

dryer.

– items that have been previously

cleaned, washed, soaked or spotted

with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents

or other flammable or explosive

substances. They may give off

vapors that could ignite or explode.

– items treated with flammable

cleaning agents or items containing

acetone, alcohol, petrol, stain

remover, wax or chemicals from

buffing, etc.

–items which have been splashed with

hair spray, nail polish remover, etc.

When washing heavily soiled items

ensure that sufficient detergent is

used with a high temperature. If in

doubt wash the item several times.

–items containing foam rubber or

similarly textured rubber-like

materials.

–items with padding or filling (e.g.

pillows or jackets) which have been

damaged. Loose filling could catch

fire.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

~Allow the dryer to complete each

stage of the program selected,

including the cooling down phase. This

will ensure that the items being

removed are not too hot to handle

~Clean the lint filter before or after

each load.

~Keep the area around the air intake

(toe kick) and adjacent surrounding

areas free from lint, dust and dirt.

~The interior of the machine should

be cleaned periodically by qualified

personnel.

This dryer is intended for

residential use only!

~GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. 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 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.

Contact a qualified electrician if you are

in doubt as to whether the appliance is

properly grounded.

~Do not modify the plug provided

with the appliance: if it will not fit the

outlet, have a proper outlet installed by

a qualified electrician.
