IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement 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 dryers to the outdoors. WARNING--To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following: • Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Use and Care Book. • This dryer must be properly instilled and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used. If you did not receive an Installation Instructions sheet with your dryer, you can obtain one by contacting the service location nearest you. --Properly ground to conform with all governing codes and ordinances. Follow details in Installation Instructions. --Locate where the temperature is above 50°E (10°C.) for satisfactory operation of the dryer control system. Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to the weather. -Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized power-supply circuit to avoid electrical overload. --Exhausting to the outside is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to prevent large amounts of moisture and lint from being blown into the room. Carefully follow the Exhausting Details in the Installation Instructions. e When disconnecting this appliance pull by the plug rather than the cord to avoid damage to the cord or junction of cord and plug. Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to damage or stress. • Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in this Use and Care Book or in published userrepair instructions that you understand and have the skills to (such as cleaning cloths, mops, towels used in beauty salons, restaurants or barber shops, etc.) must not be placed in or near 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 household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentines, waxes, wax removers and products containing petroleum distillates. • Clean the lint filter before each load to prevent lint accumulation inside the dryer or in the room. DO NOr OPERATE THE DRYER WITHOUT THE LINT FILTER IN PLACE. carry out. To minimize the possibility of a fire hazard. • Do not use heat to dry articles containing rubber, plastic, or similar materials (such as padded bras, tennis shoes, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants, plastic bags, etc.) as these materials may melt or burn. Also, some rubber materials, when heated, can under certain circumstances produce fire by spontaneous combustion. • Garments labeled "Dry Away From Heat" (such as life jackets containing Kapok) must not be put in your dryer. • Do not wash or dry articles that have been cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with combustible or explosive substance (such as wax, paint, gasoline, degreasers, dry-cleaning solvents, kerosene, etc.) which may ignite or explode. Do not use or store such substances on/or around your washer and/or dryer during operation. • Any article on which you have used a cleaning solvent, or which contains flammable materials • Keep area around and underneath your appliance free from the accumulation of combustible materials, such as lint, paper, rags, chemicals, etc. • Do not store items that may burn or melt (such as clothing, paper material, plastics or plastic containers, etc. ) on top of the dryer during operation. • The interior of the machine and the exhaust duct connection inside the dryer should be cleaned periodically by a qualified individual. • Exhaust duct (see installation instructions).

SHRINKAGE, GENERAL • Some fabrics will shrink whether machine washed and tumble dried or washed by hand and drip dried; others may be safely washed but will shrink in a dryer. Follow Garment Manufacturers' Care Labels exactly. If in doubt, do not machine wash or tumble dry. PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY SHRINKAGE, KNITS oRelaxation shrinkage can occur in knit fabrics that have been improperly stretched and elongated by the manufacturer. When this occurs, garment maybe pressed back into shape after each wash and dry cycle. •Progressive or delayed shrinkage is caused when starch or sizing (in some fabrics) is gradually removed by laundering. Maybe noticed in older garments that have been laundered many times without previous shrinkage. Treat as for Relaxation Shrinkage above. • Shrinkage caused by overheating occurs in certain knit fabrics that have been heatshaped. When washing, drying or ironing temperatures exceed the temperatures used to shape set, shrinkage may occur. This cannot be corrected, but it can be prevented by washing in cold or warm water; drying on low heat.
