flammable on it (even after washing).
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death, explosion, or fire.

death or fire.
Before using your dryer, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth to
remove dust from storing and shipping.
1. Load clothes loosely into the dryer and close the door. Do not
pack the dryer. Allow space for clothes to tumble freely.
