DRYER SAFETY
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the
dryer, follow basic precautions, including the following:
•
Read all instructions before using
the dryer.
•
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.
•
Do not dry articles that have been
previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked
in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning
solvents, other flammable, or explosive
substances as they give off vapors that
could ignite or explode.
•
Do not allow children to play on or in
the dryer. Close supervision of children
is necessary when the dryer is used
near children.
•
Before the dryer is removed from service
or discarded, remove the door to the
drying compartment.
•
Do not reach into the dryer if the drum
is moving.
•
Do not install or store the dryer where
it will be exposed to the weather.
•
Do not tamper with controls.
