WARNING
Do not place into your dryer items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable oil or cooking oil. Even after being washed, these items may contain significant amounts of these oils. The remaining oil can ignite spontaneously. The potential for spontaneous ignition increases when the items containing vegetable oil or cooking oil are exposed to heat. Heat sources, such as your clothes dryer, can warm these items, allowing an oxidation reaction in the oil to occur. Oxidation cre- ates heat. If this heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing these kinds of items may prevent heat from escap- ing and can create a fire hazard.
All washed and unwashed fabrics that contain vegetable oil or cooking oil can be dangerous. Washing these items in hot water with extra detergent will reduce, but will not eliminate, the hazard. Always use the “cool down” cycle for these items to reduce the items’ temperature. Never remove these items from the clothes dryer hot or interrupt the drying cycle until the items have run through the “cool down” cycle. Never pile or stack these items when they are hot.
Safety notice & warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition
65)requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or repro- ductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposures to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the burning of gas can result in low- level exposure to some of the listed sub- stances, including benzene, formaldehyde and soot, due primarily to the incomplete combustion of natural gas or liquid petrole- um (LP) fuels. Exhaust ducts should be kept free of obstructions and properly exhausted dryers will minimize exposure.
