■Any article on which you have
used a cleaning solvent or
that contains flammable
materials (such as cleaning
cloths, mops, towels used in
beauty salons, restaurants, or
barber shops, etc.) must not
be placed in or near the dryer
until solvents or flammable
materials have been
removed. There are many
highly flammable items used
in homes such as acetone,
denatured alcohol, gasoline,
kerosene, some household
cleaners, some spot
removers, turpentines, waxes,
wax removers and products
containing petroleum
distillates.
■The laundry process can
reduce the flame retardancy
of fabrics. To avoid such a
result, carefully follow the
garment manufacturer’s
care instructions.
■Do not dry articles containing
rubber, plastic, or similar
materials such as padded
bras, tennis shoes, galoshes,
bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby
pants, plastic bags, pillows,
etc. that may melt or burn.
Some rubber materials, when
heated, can under certain
circumstances produce fire
by spontaneous combustion.
■Do not store plastic, paper or
clothing that may burn or
melt on top of the dryer
during operation.
■Garments labeled
Dry Away
from Heat
or
Do Not Tumble
Dry
(such as life jackets
containing Kapok) must
not be put in your dryer.
■Do not dry fiberglass articles
in your dryer. Skin irritation
could result from the
remaining particles that
may be picked up by clothing
during subsequent dryer
uses.
■To minimize the possibility
of electric shock, unplug this
appliance from the power
supply or disconnect the
dryer at the household
distribution panel by
removing the fuse or
switching off the circuit
breaker before attempting
any maintenance or cleaning
(except the removal and
cleaning of the lint filter).
NOTE:
Turning the Cycle
Selector knob to an
OFF
position does
NOT
disconnect
the appliance from the power
supply.
