Do not sit on top of the dryer.
Because of continuing product improvements,
Curtis
reserves
the right of change specifications without notice. For complete details,
see the Installation Instructions packed with your product before
selecting cabinetry, making cutouts, or beginning installation.
Do not dry clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal or
solid things.
Install and use in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not place items in your dryer that have been spotted or soaked with
vegetable oil or cooking oil. Even after being washed, these items may
contain significant amounts of these oils.
Residual oil on clothing can ignite spontaneously. The potential for
spontaneous combustion increases when items containing vegetable
oil or cooking oil are exposed to heat. Heat source such as your dryer can
warm these items, allowing an oxidation reaction in the oil to occur.
Oxidation creates heat. If this heat cannot escape, the items can become
hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking, or storing these kinds of items
may prevent heat from escaping and can create a fire hazard.
Take care that children’s fingers are not caught in door when closing it.
This may result in injury.
