damage plastics or rubber and also may be a fire
hazard.

The possible presence of residual quantities of aggressive
or decomposed chemicals in the load may produce damage
to the machine and harmful fumes.

A program should be established for the inspection and
cleaning of lint in the burner area, exhaust ductwork, and
area around the back of the dryer. The frequency of
inspection and cleaning can best be determined from
experience at each location.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Remove articles from the dryer as soon as the drying cycle
has been completed.

!

WARNING

Articles left in the dryer after the drying and cooling
