Safety Instructions S afety Instructions F WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following: SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION • Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the ground prong from the power cord. To prevent personal injury or damage to the dryer, the electrical power cord must be plugged into a properly grounded outlet. • For personal safety, this dryer must be properly grounded. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock or injury. • Refer to the installation instructions in this manual for specific electrical requirements for your model. Failure to follow these instructions can create an electrical shock hazard and/or a fire hazard. • This dryer must be plugged into a properly grounded outlet. Electrical shock can result if the dryer is not properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. Failure to follow these instructions can create an electrical shock hazard and/or a fire hazard. • The dryer should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. • Never unplug your dryer by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet. The power cord can be damaged, resulting in a risk of fire and electrical shock. • Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. The power cord can melt, creating electrical shock and/or fire hazard. • When installing or moving the dryer, be careful not to pinch, crush, or damage the power cord. This will prevent injury and prevent damage to the dryer from fire and electrical shock. WARNING:This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. CALIFORNIA SAFE DRINKING WATER AND TOXIC ENFORCEMENT ACT This act requires the governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized further by properly venting the dryer to the outdoors. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 6
