 IMPORTANT: 
        YOU MUST DISCONNECT and LOCKOUT THE ELECTRIC SUPPLY and THE GAS SUPPLY 
        BEFORE 
        ANY COVERS or GUARDS ARE REMOVED FROM THE MACHINE TO ALLOW ACCESS FOR 
        CLEANING, ADJUSTING, INSTALLATION, or TESTING OF ANY EQUIPMENT per OSHA 
        (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) STANDARDS.
      The information provided will help isolate the most probable 
        component(s) associated with the difficulty described. 
        The experienced technician realizes, however, that a loose connection 
        or broken/shorted wire may be at fault where electrical components are 
        concerned…and not necessarily the suspected component itself.
       Electrical parts should always be checked for failure 
        before being returned to the factory.
      The information provided should not be misconstrued as 
        a handbook for use by an untrained person making repairs.
      IMPORTANT: When replacing blown fuses, 
        the replacement must be of the exact rating as the fuse being replaced.
      WARNING: ALL SERVICE and TROUBLE SHOOTING 
        SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL OR SERVICE AGENCY.
       WARNING: WHILE MAKING REPAIRS, OBSERVE 
        ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS DISPLAYED ON THE DRYER OR SPECIFIED IN THIS MANUAL.
