WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer,
follow basic precautions, including the following:
n Read all instructions before using
the dryer.
n This dryer is intended only for drying
clothes and textiles that have been
washed in water. Do not use for any other
purpose.
n WARNING: If you smell gas, do not use
the dryer or any electrical equipment
nearby. Warn other people to clear the
area. Contact the dryer owner immediately.
n Oil-affected items can ignite
spontaneously, especially when exposed
to heat sources such as 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 creates a fire hazard.
n To reduce the risk of fire due to
contaminated loads, the final part of a
tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat
