safely, the operator should become
familiar with the instructions for opera-

care while using the appliance.
1. To avoid possibility of fire or explo-
sion:
A. Items containing foam rubber
(may also be labeled Latex foam) or
foam rubber-like materials must not
be dried on a heat setting. Foam
rubber materials, when heated, can
under certain circumstances
produce fire by spontaneous com-
bustion.
B. Any material on which you
have used a cleaning solvent, or
which is saturated with flammable
liquids or solids, should not be
placed in the dryer until all traces of
these flammable liquids or solids
and their fumes have been removed.
There are many highly flammable
items used in homes, such as:
acetone, denatured alcohol, gaso-
line, kerosene, some liquid house-
hold cleaners, some spot removers,
turpentine, waxes and wax
removers.
