Do not place intoyour dryer items that have been spotted orsoaked with vegetable
oil or cooking oil. Even after being washed, these items may contain significant
amounts of these oils. The remaining oil can ignite spontaneously. The potential
for spontaneous ignition increases when the items containing vegetable oil or
cooking oil are exposed to heat. Heat sources, such as your clothes dryer, can
warm these items,allowingan oxidationreaction inthe oil to occur. Oxidationcre-
ates heat. If this heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch
fire. Piling,stacking or storing these kinds of items may prevent heat from escap-
ing and can create a fire hazard.
All washed and unwashedfabrics that contain vegetable oil or cooking oil can be
dangerous. Washing these items in hotwater with extra detergentwill reduce,but
will not eliminate,the hazard. Always use the "cool down"cycle for these items to
reduce the items' temperature. Never remove these items from the clothes dryer
hot or interrupt the drying cycle until the items have run through the "cool down"
cycle. Never pile or stack these items when they are hot.
Do notallow the storage of any material to obstruct the ventilationair openingsof
the dryer.
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.
