WARNING: FIRE HAZARD
Dry only articles which have been washed in water. Articles which have been cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with gasoline,
Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber, plastics, or similarly textured rubberlike materials.
Keep area around and underneath dryer free from the accumulation of combustible materials, such as lint, paper, rags, gasoline, and all other flammable vapors and liquids.
Do not allow the storage of any material to obstruct the ventilation air openings of the dryer.
To prevent extended drying time and risk of fire, clean the lint screen after each load.
The interior of the machine and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by a qualified service techni- cian.
The exhaust system should be periodically examined for damage to the exhaust duct and for free opera- tion of the exhaust deflector. Keep the area around the exhaust opening and surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.
Recent studies have shown that if vegetable oil contam- inated materials are incompletely washed, a carry- over and buildup of the oil may contribute to a chemical reaction (spontaneous combustion) that could cause a load to catch fire by itself. This would be more likely to happen if the load were left in the dryer after tumbling stopped or if items were folded and stacked while warm.
For Gas Dryers
Gas dryers are equipped to operate on natural gas only. To convert a gas dryer for other gases, the services of a qualified service technician must be obtained.
