• 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.

• 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 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.

• 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 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.

Dryer Safety Operation Requirements Parts and Features Installation Instructions Dryer Use Dryer Care Troubleshooting Appendix41

Problem Solution The unit is noisy.

• Check the load for objects such as coins, loose buttons, nails, broken zips, etc. Remove promptly.

• It is normal to hear the dryer gas valve or heating element cycle on and off during the drying cycle.

• Be sure the dryer is leveled properly as outlined in the installation instruction.

• It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high velocity of air moving through the dryer drum and exhaust system. Clothes are unevenly dried.

• Seams, pockets, and other similarly heavy areas may not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level. This is normal. Select the Extra Dry setting if desired.

• If one heavy item is dried with a lightweight load, such as one towel with sheets, it is possible that the heavy item will not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level. Sort heavy items from lightweight items for best drying results. Shuts off before load is dry.
