WARNING - To reduce the risk of re or
explosion:
• Do not dry items that have been previously
cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with
gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other
ammable or explosive substances. They emit
vapors that could ignite or explode. Any material
that has been in contact with a cleaning solvent
or ammable liquids or solids should not be
placed in the dryer until all traces of these
ammable liquids or solids and their fumes
have been removed. There are many highly
ammable items used in homes, such as acetone,
denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some
liquid household cleaners, some spot removers,
turpentine, waxes, and wax removers.
• Items containing foam rubber (which may
be labeled latex foam) or similarly textured
rubberlike materials must not be dried on a heat
setting. Heated foam rubber materials can, under
certain circumstances, ignite spontaneously.

Important safety precautions
WARNING
To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance,
follow basic precautions, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using this appliance.
2. Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in,
or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other ammable or explosive
substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
3. Do not use the dryer to dry clothes which have traces of any ammable substance,
such as vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine oil, ammable chemicals, paint thinner,
etc., or anything containing wax or chemicals, such as mops and cleaning cloths.
Flammable substances may cause the fabric to catch re by itself.
4. Do not store or use gasoline or other ammable vapors and liquids near this or any
other appliance.
5. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is
necessary when the appliance is used near children.
6. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the
drying compartment.
7. Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.

• Do not place items in your dryer that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable oil
or cooking oil. Even after being washed, these items may contain signicant amounts
of these oils.
• Residual oil on clothing can ignite spontaneoulsy. The potential for spontaneous
combustion increases when items containing vegetable oil or cooking oil are exposed
to heat. Heat sources such as your dryer can warm these items, allowing an oxidation
reaction in the oil to occur. Oxidation creates heat. If this heat cannot escape, the items
can become hot enough to catch re. Piling, stacking, or storing these kinds of items
may prevent heat from escaping and can create a re hazard.
• All 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 not eliminate,
the hazard. Always use the Cool Down cycle for these items to reduce their
temperature. Never remove these items from the dryer hot or interrupt the drying
cycle until the items have run through the Cool Down cycle. Never pile or stack these
items when they are hot.
