material that has been in contact with a cleaning solvent or 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 alchohol, gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household cleaners,
some spot removers, turpentine, waxes, and wax removers.
Do not dry items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex foam) or
similarly textured rubber-like materials on a heat setting. Heated foam
rubber materials can, under certain circumstances, produce fire by
spontaneous combustion.
