WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your
appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
•
Read all instructions before using the appliance.

dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite
or explode.
•
DO NOT place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may
contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire. To reduce the risk of fire due to
contaminated loads, the final part of the tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down period). Avoid
stopping a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread
out so that the heat is dissipated.
