in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other
flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that could
ignite or explode.
• Do not use the dryer to dry clothes which have traces of any
flammable substance, such as vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine
oil, flammable chemicals, thinner, etc., or anything containing
wax or chemicals, such as mops and cleaning clothes. Flammable
substances may cause the fabric to catch fire by itself.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids
near this or any other appliance.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt
any servicing, unless it is specifically recommended in the user-
maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that
you understand and have the skills to carry out.
• Keep the area underneath and around your appliances free of
combustible materials: (lint, paper, rags, etc.), gasoline, chemicals and
other flammable vapors and liquids.
• 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 reduce the risk of
fire due to contaminated loads, the final part of a tumble dryer cycle
occurs without heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping a tumble
dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly
removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
• Turn off the water faucets and unplug the washer if the machine is to
be left for an extended period of time, such as during vacations.
• Packaging material can be dangerous for children. There is a risk of
suffocation! Keep all packaging items away from children.
• Always check the inside of the dryer for foreign objects before
loading laundry. Keep the door closed when not in use.
• Do not use fabric softeners or by-products to eliminate static, unless
recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product
manufacturer.
• Clean the lint screen before or after each load.
• Keep the area around the exhaust opening and surrounding areas
free from lint, dust, and dirt.
• Keep interior of the dryer and exhaust duct periodically clean. If
necessary use a qualified service personnel.
• 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.
• This appliance must be grounded. See “Electric Requirements” and
“Grounding” in the “Operation Requirements” section.
• This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the power
cord into a receptacle that is not grounded adequately and in
accordance with local and national codes. Refer to installation
instructions for grounding this appliance.
• Ensure pockets are free from small irregularly shaped hard objects
and foreign material, i.e. coins, knives, pins, etc. These objects could
damage your dryer and clothes.
• Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly
textured rubber like - materials.

WARNING
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion
• Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked,
or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or
explosive substances. They emit vapors that could ignite or explode.
Any material that has been in contact with a cleaning solvent or
flammable liquids or solids should not be placed in 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 liquid
household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes, and wax
removers.
• Do not dry items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex
foam) or similarly textured rubber-like materials on a heat setting.
Heated foam rubber materials can, under certain circumstances,
produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
• Do not sit on top of the dryer.
• Because of continuing product improvements, Midea America
reserves the right of change specifications without notice. For
complete details, see the Installation Instructions packed with your
product before selecting cabinetry, making cutouts, or beginning
installation.
• Do not dry clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal
or solid things.
• Install and use in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Do not place items in your dryer that have been spotted or soaked
with vegetable oil or cooking oil. Even after being washed, these
items may contain significant amounts of these oils.
• Residual oil on clothing can ignite spontaneously. The potential for
spontaneous combustion increases when items containing vegetable
oil or cooking oil are exposed to heat. Heat sources such as your dryer
can warm these items, allowing an oxidation reaction in the oil to
occur.
• Oxidation creates heat. If this heat cannot escape, the items can
become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking, or storing these
kinds of items may prevent heat from escaping and can create a fire
hazard.
• Prevent children from playing with the dryer door to prevent risk of
caught in the door when closing it. This may result in
• Gas leaks may occur in your system, resulting in a dangerous
condition.
• Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone.
• Certified service gas providers recommend that you purchase and install
a UL approved gas detector.

to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These
conditions will obstruct with the clothes dryer’s
airflow and increase the risk of fire.
• To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all
installation instructions
• Save these instructions.
IMPORTANT TO INSTALLER
