Although ADC produces a very versatile dryer, there are some articles that, due to fabric composition or cleaning method, should not be dried in it.
Warning
Dry only water washed fabrics. Do not dry articles
!spotted or washed in dry cleaning solvents, a 
combustible detergent, or “all purpose” cleaner. Explosion could result.
