a.
Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned
in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable or explosive
substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or
explode. 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, gasoline, kerosene, some
liquid household cleaners, some spot removers,
turpentine, waxes and wax removers.
b. Items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex
foam) or similarly textured rubber-like materials
must
not be dried on a heat setting. Foam rubber materials
when heated, can under certain circumstances
produce fire by spontaneous combustion.

Important Safety Instructions
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or personal injury when using your
dryer follow basic safety precautions, including the following:
WARNING — Because gas may escape
from your system which may not be detected by
smell alone, resulting in a potentially extremely
dangerous situation, it is recommended by gas
suppliers that you purchase and install a UL-
approved gas detector(s) in your home. Your
local gas supplier can assist you in obtaining a
gas detector. Please install, maintain and use
the gas detector in accordance with the gas
detector manufacturer
s instructions.
