Dryer Safety - Maytag 3RMED4905TW0 Use & Care Manual Installation Instructions

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety
messages.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.
WARNING:
including the following:
Read all instructions before using the dryer.
Keep a minimum clearance of 10 cm (4 in.) between the
rear of the dryer and any wall.
The operation of this appliance may affect the operation of
other types of appliances which take their air supply for
safe combustion from the same room. There has to be
adequate ventilation to replace exhausted air and thus
avoid the back-flow of gases into the room from
appliances burning other fuels, including open fires, when
operating the tumble dryer. If in doubt, consult the
appliance manufacturers.

DRYER SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."
These words mean:
DANGER
WARNING
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer, follow basic precautions,
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately
follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow
instructions.
Do not obstruct the air supply to the dryer (see Installation
Instructions for minimum clearances).
Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer.
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially
when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer.
The items become warm causing an oxidation reaction in
the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape,
the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling,
stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from
escaping and so create a fire hazard.
