SAFETY and PRECAUTIONS • 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. Basic Precautions WARNING IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1 Read all instructions before using the appliance. 2 Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this User Guide. 3 Before use, your dryer must be properly installed as described in this guide. 4 Always follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the garment manufacturer. 5 Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode. 6 Do not use your 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. 7 Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids near this or any other appliance. 8 Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children. 9 When discarding or storing your old clothes dryer, remove the door. 10 Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving. 11 Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or freezing temperatures. 12 Do not tamper with the controls. 13 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. 14 To avoid the risk of fire, unplug the power cord if your dryer is to be left for an extended period of time, such as during vacations. 15 Packaging material can be dangerous for children. There is a risk of suffocation! Keep all packaging away from children. 16 Always check the inside of the dryer for foreign objects before loading laundry. Keep the door closed when not in use. 17 Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product. 18 Clean the lint screen before or after each load. 19 Keep the area around the exhaust opening and surrounding areas free from lint, dust, and dirt. 20 The interior of your dryer and the exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel. 21 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. See Electric requirements-Canada only on page 13 or Electric requirements-U.S. only on page 13 and Grounding requirements on page 15. 22 Make sure that pockets are free from small irregularly shaped hard objects and foreign material (such as coins, knives, and pins). These objects could damage your dryer. 23 Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials. 24 Gas leaks may occur in your system, resulting in a dangerous situation. 25 Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone. 26 Gas suppliers recommend that you purchase and install a UL approved gas detector. CAUTION 1 Do not sit on top of the dryer. 2 Because of continuing product improvements, we reserve the right to change specifications without notice. For complete details, see the installation instructions in this User Guide before selecting cabinets, making cutouts, or beginning installation. 3 Do not dry clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal or solid things. 4 Install and use in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. 5 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. 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. 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. 6 Take care that children's fingers are not caught in the door when closing it. This may result in injury. 4 www.insigniaproducts.com
