LG DLE3400 Series Owner's Manual page 7

• Fix the drain hose securely in place.
• Do not put oily or greasy clothing, candles or flammable materials on top of the appliance.
• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of
the fabric softener or product.
• Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.
• Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, soiled with or spotted
with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, vegetable oil, cooking oil or other flammable or explosive
substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
• Do not store plastic, paper, or clothing that may burn or melt on top of the dryer during operation.
• Always check the inside of the appliance for foreign objects.
• Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four potentially hazardous substances, namely benzene,
carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural
gas or LP fuels.
• Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be
minimized further by properly venting the dryer to the outdoors.
• Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may
contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.
To reduce the risk of fire due to contaminated loads, the final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without
heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all
items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
• Do not let children or pets climb inside the dryer drum.
• Do not put living animals such as pets inside the product.
• Do not put any part of your body, such as your hands or feet, or metal objects under the product.
• Do not let your hand get pinched when opening or closing the dryer door.
