I MPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

read before operating your dryer

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons when using the appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

1	Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2	To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:

a Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flam- mable 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 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, tur- pentine, 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.
