PREVENT FIRE
• Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned in,
soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents,
kerosene, waxes, etc. Do not store these items on or
near the dryer. These substances 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 fi re.
• Do not dry articles containing rubber, plastic or similar ma-
terials such as bras, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby
pants, plastic bags and pillows that may melt or burn.
Some rubber materials, when heated, can under certain
circumstances produce fi re by spontaneous combustion.
• Clean the lint screen before or after each load. The in-
terior of the dryer, lint screen housing and exhaust duct
should be cleaned approximately every 18 months by
qualifi ed service personnel. An excessive amount of lint
build-up in these areas could result in ineffi cient drying
and possible fi re. See Care and Cleaning.
• Do not operate the dryer if the lint screen is blocked,
damaged or missing. Fire hazard, overheating and
damage to fabrics can occur.
• Do not obstruct the fl ow of ventilating air. Do not stack
or place laundry or throw rugs against the front or back
of the dryer.
• Do not spray any type of aerosol into, on or near dryer
at any time.
• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate
static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the
fabric softener or product.
• Do not continue to use the dryer if you hear squeaking,
grinding, rubbing or other unusual noises. This could be
a sign of mechanical breakdown and lead to fi re or seri-
ous injury. Contact a qualifi ed technician immediately.
• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in
fi re, explosion, serious bodily injury and/or damage to
the rubber or plastic parts of the dryer.
