2. Safety Instructions

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, adhere to the following safety precautions:

• Electrical Safety: Ensure the dryer is connected to a properly grounded 110V electrical outlet. Do not use extension cords or adapters. Disconnect power before servicing or cleaning.
• Ventilation: The dryer must be properly vented to the outdoors or to an approved indoor vent kit. Ensure the exhaust hose is not kinked or blocked. Adequate airflow is crucial to prevent overheating and fire hazards.
• Lint Filter: Clean the lint filter before or after every load. A clogged lint filter reduces drying efficiency and increases fire risk.
• Flammable Materials: Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances.
• Rubber and Plastic Items: Do not dry articles containing foam rubber or rubber-like materials.
• Supervision: Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close supervision is necessary when the dryer is used near children.
• Installation: Install the dryer according to the instructions in this manual. Ensure the dryer is placed on a stable, level surface.
