1. Read all instructions before using your appliance.
2. To avoid the possibility

of fire or explosion:

a. 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.
b. Items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-like
materials must not be dried on a heat setting. Heated foam rubber materials can, under certain
circumstances, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.

The residual oil can ignite spontaneously.The
potential for spontaneous combustion
increases when
the items containing vegetable oil or cooking oil are exposed to heat. Heat sources 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.
All washed and unwashed fabrics that contain vegetable oil or cooking oil can be dangerous. Washing
these items in hot water with extra detergent will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard. Always use
the Cool Down cycle for these items to reduce their temperature. Never remove these items from the
dryer hot or interrupt the drying cycle until the items have run through the Cool Down cycle. Never

WARNING Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether your dryer is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with your dryer - if it doesn't fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, all wiring and grounding
must be clone in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the Canadian
Electrical Code CSA C22.1 - Latest Revisions and local codes and ordinances. It isyour responsibility
to provide adequate electrical services for your dryer.

GROUNDING
This dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, the ground will reduce the risk
of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for electrical current.
The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
