2 American Dryer Corp. 113202-21

8. The possible presence of residual quantities of aggressive or decomposed chemicals in the load may produce

damage to the machine and harmful fumes.

9. A program should be established for the inspection and cleaning of lint in the heating unit area, exhaust

ductwork, and inside the dryer. The frequency of inspection and cleaning can best be determined from
experience at each location.

WARNING: The collection of lint in the burner area and exhaust ductwork could create a fire hazard.

13. 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 cycles have been completed could

create a fire hazard.

14. READ AND FOLLOW ALL CAUTION AND DIRECTION LABELS ATTACHED TO THE DRYER.

15. For safety, proper operation, and optimum performance, the dryer must not be operated with a load less

than sixty-six percent (66%), 76 lb (34.5 kg), of its rated capacity.
