To Minimize the Possibility of a Fire Hazard
• Do not use heat to dry articles containing rubber, plastic, or similar materials (such as
padded bras, tennis shoes, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, pillows, baby pants, plastic
bags, 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” 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, 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,
de-natured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some household cleaners, some spot removers,
turpentines, waxes, wax removers and products containing petroleum distillates.
