DRYER SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety
messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word ?DANGER? or ?WARNING.?
These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately
DANGER follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow
WARNINGinstructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.
