This appliance (Canadian market only) is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
Child safety General Activating Child-safe Start Do not allow children to play with the tumble dryer.

Advice and tips before you tumble dry Here are some tips that may help you before you begin tumble drying. Materials that should not be tumble dried Have the clothes been spun? This symbol means that the material is not suitable for tumble drying. Certain materials may melt or become a fire hazard if exposed to heat and others can lose their shape or shrink. Items to be tumble dried should be spun at 1000 rpm or faster. Higher spin speeds save both energy and drying time.
