NOT tamper with the controls or bypass any safety devices.
• DO NOT operate individual units if they have been separated
from a stack unit.
• Dryer will not operate with the loading door open. DO NOT

pressing the START mechanism. Remove the dryer from use
and call the service person.
• ALWAYS clean the lint filter after every load. A layer of lint
in the filter reduces drying efficiency and prolongs drying
time. Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent sur-
rounding area free from the accumulation of lint, dust and
dirt. The interior of the dryer and the exhaust duct should be
cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer, or attempt any
servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-mainte-

service. Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug, not
