Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned in, 

• 

soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents, 

kerosene, waxes, etc. Do not store these items on or 

near the dryer. These substances give off vapors that 

could ignite or explode.
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 load to catch fire.

• 

terials such as bras, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby 

pants, plastic bags and pillows that may melt or burn.

circumstances produce fire by spontaneous combustion.

qualified service personnel. An excessive amount of lint 

build-up in these areas could result in inefficient drying 

and possible fire. See Care and Cleaning.

Do not operate the dryer if the lint screen is blocked, 

• 

damaged or missing. Fire hazard, overheating and 

damage to fabrics can occur.

fabric softener or product.
Do not continue to use the dryer is you hear squeaking, 

• 

grinding, rubbing or other unusual noises. This could 

be a sign of mechanical breakdown and lead to fire or 

serious injury. Contact a qualified technician immedi

ately.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in 

• 

fire, explosion, serious bodily injury and/or damage to 

the rubber or plastic parts of the dryer.
