Dry only
articles
which
have
been
washed
in water.
Articles
which
have been cleaned,
washed,
soaked,
or spotted
with gasoline,
dry-cleaning
solvents,
oil,
waxes,
chemical
solvents,
alcohol,
turpentine,
or
other
flammable
or explosive
materials
will retain
these substances.
Do not dry articles which
still con-
tain these flammable
or explosive
substances
as they
give off vapors
that could ignite or explode.
Do not use heat to dry articles
containing
foam rubber,
plastics,
or similarly
textured
rubberlike
materials.
Keep area around
and underneath
dryer
free from the
accumulation
of combustible
materials,
such as lint,
paper, rags, gasoline,
and all other flammable
vapors
and liquids.
Do not allow the storage
of any material
to obstruct
the
ventilation
air openings
of the dryer.
To prevent
extended
drying
time and risk of fire, clean
the lint screen after each load.
The interior
of the machine
and exhaust
duct should
be
cleaned
periodically
by a qualified
service
techni-
cian.
The exhaust
system
should
be periodically
examined
for damage
to the exhaust
duct
and for free opera-
tion of the exhaust
deflector.
Keep the area around
the exhaust
opening
and
surrounding
areas
free
from the accumulation
of lint, dust and dirt.
Recent studies
have shown
that if vegetable
oil contam-
inated
materials
are incompletely
washed,
a carry-
over
and
buildup
of the oil may
contribute
to a
chemical
reaction
(spontaneous
combustion)
that
could cause a load to catch fire by itself. This would
be more likely to happen
if the load were left in the
dryer after tumbling
stopped
or if items were folded
and stacked
while warm.
For Gas Dryers
Gas dryers
are equipped
to operate
on natural
gas only.
To convert
a gas dryer for other gases, the services
of
a qualified
service
technician
must be obtained.

Safety
Notice
8, Warning
The
California
Safe
Drinking
Water
and
Toxic
Enforcement
Act of 1986 (Proposition
65) requires
the
Governor
of California
to publish
a list of substances
known
to the
State
of California
to cause
cancer
or
reproductive
harm,
and
requires
businesses
to warn
customers
of potential
exposures
to such substances.
Users
of this
appliance
are
hereby
warned
that
the
burning
of gas can result
in low-level
exposure
to some
of the listed
substances,
including
benzene,
formalde-
hyde,
and
soot,
due primarily
to the incomplete
com-
bustion
of natural
gas or liquid
petroleum
(LP) fuels.
Exhaust
ducts
should
be kept
free of obstructions
and
properly
exhausted
dryers
will minimize
exposure.
