Protect Children; Prevent Fire - Frigidaire Dryer Servicing

Section 1 Basic Information
WARNING
To prevent personal injury or damage to the dryer, the electrical power cord of a gas dryer must be plugged into
a properly grounded and polarized 3-prong outlet. The third grounding prong must never be removed.
Never ground the dryer to a gas pipe.
Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.
ALWAYS disconnect the dryer from the electrical supply before attempting any service or cleaning. Failure to do
so can result in electrical shock or injury.
Do not use any type spray cleanser when cleaning dryer interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could occur.
To prevent injury, do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving. Wait until the dryer has stopped completely
before reaching into the drum.
To prevent injury and damage to the dryer:
• Use only authorized factory parts.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to the weather.

Protect Children

Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is used
near children. As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances.
Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing materials after the dryer is unpacked. Children might use them for
play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers.
Keep laundry products out of children's reach. To prevent personal injury, observe all warnings on product labels.
Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded, remove the dryer door to prevent accidental entrapment.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.

Prevent Fire

Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents,
kerosene, waxes, etc. Do not store these items on or near the dryer. These substances give off vapors that could
ignite or explode. Do not spray any type of aerosol into, on or near dryer at any time.
Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a
chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.
To prevent fire, do not use heat to dry items containing plastic, foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like
materials, or items containing feathers or down. Use Air Fluff (No Heat) only.
Clean the lint screen before or after each load. The interior of the dryer, lint screen housing and exhaust duct should
be cleaned approximately every 18 months by qualified service personnel. An excessive amount of lint buildup in
these areas could result in inefficient drying and possible fire. Do not operate the dryer if the lint screen is blocked,
damaged or missing. Fire hazard, overheating and damage to fabrics can occur. If your dryer has a drying rack,
always replace the lint screen when finished using the drying rack.
Keep area around exhaust opening and surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.
Do not obstruct the flow of ventilating air. Do not stack or place laundry or throw rugs against front or back of dryer.
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric
softener or product.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire, explosion, serious bodily injury and/or damage to the
rubber or plastic parts of the
1-4
dryer.
