Maytag MD6200 - Manual (Page 3)

Do not place into your dryer items that have t»een spotted or soaked with vegetable
oil or cooking oil. Even after being washed, these items may contain significant
amounts of these oils. Hie remaining oil can ignite spontaneousiy. The potential
for spontaneous Ignition increases when the items containing vegetable oil or
cooking oil áre exposed to heat. Heat sources, such as your clothes dryer, can
warm these items, allowing an oxidation reaction in the oil to occur. Oxidation cre­
ates heat. If this heat cannot escape, the herns can become hot enough to catch
fire. Piling, stacking or storing these kinds of items may prevent heat from escap­
ing and can create a fire hazard.
Ail washed and unwashed fabrics that contain vegetable oil or cooking oil can be
dangerous. Washing these items in hot water with extra detergent will reduce, but
will not eliminate, the hazard. Always use the “cool down” cycle for these Items to
reduce the items’ temperature. Never remove these items from the clothes dryer
hot or interrupt the drying cycle until the items have run through the “cboi down”
cycle. №ver pile or stack these items when they are hot.
