Do not dry articles containing
rubber, plastic, or similar 
materials (such as padded bras,
tennis shoes, galoshes, bath 
mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants, 
plastic bags, pillows, etc.) as 
these materials may melt or 
burn. Also, some rubber 
materials, when heated, can
under certain circumstances 
produce fire by spontaneous
combustion.

Do not store items that may 
burn or melt (such as clothing,
paper material, plastics or 
plastic containers, etc.) on top 
of the dryer during operation.

Garments labeled “Dry Away
from Heat” or “Do not Tumble
Dry” (such as life jackets contain-
ing Kapok) must not be put in
your dryer.

Do not wash or dry articles that
have been cleaned in, washed 
in, soaked in, or spotted with
combustible or explosive 
substances (such as wax, paint,
oil, gasoline, degreasers, dry-
cleaning solvents, kerosene, etc.)
which may ignite or explode. Do
not add these substances to the 
wash water. Do not use these 
substances around your washer
and/or dryer during operation.

Any article on which you have
used a cleaning solvent, or 
which contains flammable 
materials (such as cleaning
cloths, mops, towels used in
beauty salons, restaurants, 
or barber shops, etc.) must 
not be placed in or near 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 alcohol, gasoline,
kerosene, some household 
cleaners, some spot removers,
turpentines, waxes, wax 
removers and products 
containing petroleum distillates.
