To Reduce the Risk of Fire
Exhaust Duct--See Installation Instructions.
Use only rigid metal or flexible metal
4" diameter ductwork inside the dryer cabinet
or for exhausting to the outside. USE OF
PI_ASTIC OR OTHER COMBUSTIBLE
DUCTWORK CAN CAUSE A FIRE.
DUCTWORK CAN CAUSE A FIRE IF IT
COLLAPSES OR BECOMES OTHERWISE
RESTRICTED IN USE OR DURING
INSTALLATION.
• Regt, larly inspect the exhaust duct to be sure it has
not been crushed or otherwise restricted.
• Do not use heat to dry articles containing rubber,
plastic, or similar materials (such as padded bras,
tennis shoes, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby
pants, plastic bags, etc.) as these materials may
melt or burn. Also, some rubber materials, when
heated, can under certain circumstances produce
fire by spontaneous combustion.
• Do not store items that may burn or melt (such
as clothing, paper material, plastics or plastic
containers, etc.) on top of the dryer during
the operation.
• Garments labeled "Dry Away from Heat" (such
as life jackets containing Kapok) must not be
put in your dryer.
Do not wash or dry articles that have been
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted
with combustible or explosive substances (such
as wax, paint, gasoline, degreasers, dry-cleaning
solvents, kerosene, etc.) which may ignite or
explode. Do not add these substances to the
wash water. Do not use these substances around
your washer and/or dryer during operation.
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 clothes load to catch fire.
Any article on which you have used a cleaning
solvent, or which contains flammable materials
(such as cleaning cloths, mops, towels used in
beauty salons, restaurants or barber shops, etc.)
must not be placed in or near 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, gasoline, kerosene,
some household cleaners, some spot removers,
turpen.tines, waxes, wax removers and products
containing petroleum distillates.
Keep the area around and underneath your
appliances free from the accumulation of
combustible materials, such as lint, paper, rags,
chemicals, etc.
The interior of the machine and the exhaust
duct connection inside the dryer should be
cleaned periodically by a qualified individual.
The laundry process can reduce the flame
retardancy of fabrics. To avoid such a result,
garment manufacturer's care instructions should be
followed very carefully.
