When children become old enough to operate the appliance, it is the responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe practices by qualified persons. 5. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance at any time; severe injury or death could result. Children should be kept a safe distance away from appliances at all times. Children should only be permitted within an appliance's vicinity if under close, constant adult supervision. 6. Do not allow children's toys, or other items that might encourage children to climb on the dryer, to be stored on or in the dryer or on shelves or in cabinets or other storage areas adjacent to the dryer. 7. Do not sit or stand on the top of the dryer. 8. Do not allow anyone to climb, lean or hang on any part of the dryer including any protruding components such as the appliance door or a pullout shelf. 9. To reduce the risk of poisoning or chemical burns, keep all cleaning products out of the reach of children. 10. Store all laundry chemicals and aids in a cool dry place according to the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure children cannot reach them.

Do not tamper with the controls. 16. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any service unless specifically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out. 17. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the fabric manufacturer. 18. Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-like materials. Foam rubber materials can ignite by spontaneous combustion. 19. Do not dry articles containing spunbonded olefin. Spunbonded olefin can melt and can ignite by spontaneous combustion. 20. Check the lint screen before each laundry load and clean as needed. Excess lint buildup can damage the dryer and create a potential fire hazard. 21. Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust and dirt. An obstructed port might reduce the airflow and cause overheating. 22. The interior of the machine and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel. 23. Removing any panel or cover, including the light cover, may expose live electrical circuits. Removing any panel, including the round service panel in the front, can also expose sharp edges and points as well as hot surfaces. Always unplug the dryer from the electrical supply before attempting any service. Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord. 24. To avoid fire hazards, do not use an extension cord, an adapter, or any other non-manufacturer supplied electrical connector or cord, to connect the dryer to the electrical supply. 25. Always check clothing pockets and shake out all laundry items 5
