FIRE HAZARD
16. THE INTERIOR of the dryer and the
exhaust duct should be cleaned
periodically by a qualified service
technician.
17. THE EXHAUST SYSTEM should be
periodically examined for damage to
the exhaust duct and for free
operation of the exhaust deflector.
Keep the area around the exhaust
opening and surrounding areas free
from the accumulation of LINT, DUST,
and DIRT.
18, Recent studies have shown that if
vegetable oil contaminated materials
are incompletely washed, a carry-over
and buildup of the oil may contribute
to a chemical reaction Isponteneous
combustion) that could cause a load
to catch fire by itself. This would be
more likely to happen if the load was
left in the dryer after tumbling
stopped or if items were folded and
stacked while warm.
FOR GAS DRYERS
19. GAS DRYERS are equipped to
operate on natural gas only. To
convert a gas dryer for operation with
other gases, the services of a qualified
service technician must be obtained.
