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 a 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.
•
Never stop the drying process before it is completed; if you do interrupt the cycle
for any reason, be careful when removing the laundry from the drum as it is very
hot. Quickly remove the laundry from the drum and spread it to allow it to cool
down as quickly as possible.
•
Only use the dryer to dry laundry that was washed with water. Do not dry any laundry
that was washed or cleaned with flammable cleaners or substances (such as gasoline,
trichloroethylene etc.) as this may result in an explosion.
NOTE: If you have cleaned your clothes with industrial cleaners or chemical
substances, DO NOT dry them in the dryer.
Risk of child entrapment!
•
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
appliances are still dangerous, even if they will “just sit in the garage a few days.”
•
Make sure there is nothing except laundry in the dryer drum before running the drying cycle.
•
Do not let children younger than three years old near the dryer, unless constantly supervised.
•
Children eight years old and older may operate the dryer under appropriate adult supervision.
NOTE: Before discarding your old dryer:
o
Take off the doors
o
Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside
