WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or personal injury when
using your dryer, follow the basic safety precautions below:
1. Read all instructions before using your appliance.
2. To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:
a. Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with gasoline,
dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances. They emit vapors that could
ignite or explode. Any material that has been in contact with a cleaning solvent or flammable
liquids 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. Heated foam rubber materials can, under certain
circumstances, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
