DRYER SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
■ Read all instructions before using the dryer.
■ This dryer is intended only for drying clothes and textiles
that have been washed in water. Do not use for any other
purpose.
■ WARNING: If you smell gas, do not use the dryer or any
electrical equipment nearby. Warn other people to clear
the area. Contact the dryer owner immediately.
■ Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer.
Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a
chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch re.
■ If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or
cooking oil or that have been contaminated by hair care
products be placed in a tumble dryer, they should rst
be washed in hot water with extra detergent – this will
reduce, but not eliminate the hazard.
■ Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned
in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gas,
dry-cleaning solvents, other ammable, or explosive
substances as they give off vapors that could ignite
or explode.
■ Items that have been soiled with substances such as
acetone, alcohol, gas, kerosene, spot removers,
turpentine, waxes, and wax removers should be washed
in hot water with extra detergent before being dried in
the dryer.
■ Do not dry unwashed items in the dryer.
■ Do not use this dryer if industrial chemicals have been
used for cleaning. The possible presence of residual
quantities of aggressive or decomposed chemicals in the
