appliance.

2. To avoid the possibility of fire or explo
sion;

a. Do not dry items that have been pre

viously cleaned in, washed in,
soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents, other flamma
ble or explosive substances as they
give off vapors that could ignite or
explode. Any material on which you
have used a cleaning solvent, or
which is saturated with flammable liq
uids 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.

b. Items containing foam rubber (may

be labeled latex foam) or similarly
textured rubber-like materials must
not be dried on a heat setting. Foam
rubber materials when heated, can
under certain circumstances produce
fire by spontaneous combustion.

3. Do not allow children to play on or in the
appliance. Close supervision of children
is necessary when the appliance is used
near children.

5. Do not reach into the appliance if the
drum is moving.

to eliminate static unless recommended
for dryer use by the manufacturer of the
fabric softener or product.

10. Clean the lint screen before or after

11. Keep the area around the exhaust open

ing and surrounding areas free from lint

accumulation, dust and dirt.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

Do not place into your dryer items that have t»een spotted or soaked with vegetable
oil or cooking oil. Even after being washed, these items may contain significant
amounts of these oils. Hie remaining oil can ignite spontaneousiy. The potential
for spontaneous Ignition increases when the items containing vegetable oil or
cooking oil áre exposed to heat. Heat sources, such as your clothes dryer, can
warm these items, allowing an oxidation reaction in the oil to occur. Oxidation cre
ates heat. If this heat cannot escape, the herns can become hot enough to catch
fire. Piling, stacking or storing these kinds of items may prevent heat from escap

ing and can create a fire hazard.

Ail washed and unwashed fabrics that contain vegetable oil or cooking oil can be
dangerous. Washing these items in hot water with extra detergent will reduce, but
will not eliminate, the hazard. Always use the “cool down” cycle for these Items to
reduce the items’ temperature. Never remove these items from the clothes dryer

hot or interrupt the drying cycle until the items have run through the “cboi down”
