PREVENT FIRE
•  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 fi re.

•  Do not dry articles containing rubber, plastic or similar ma-

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

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

Some rubber materials, when heated, can under certain 

circumstances produce fi re by spontaneous combustion.

•  Clean the lint screen before or after each load. The in-

terior of the dryer, lint screen housing and exhaust duct 

should be cleaned approximately every 18 months by 

qualifi ed service personnel. An excessive amount of lint 

build-up in these areas could result in ineffi cient drying 

and possible fi re. 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.

•  Do not obstruct the fl ow of ventilating air. Do not stack 

or place laundry or throw rugs against the front or back 

of the dryer.

•  Do not spray any type of aerosol into, on or near dryer 

at any time.

•  Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate 

static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the 

fabric softener or product.

•  Do not continue to use the dryer if you hear squeaking, 

grinding, rubbing or other unusual noises. This could 

be a sign of mechanical breakdown and lead to fi re or 

serious injury. Contact a qualifi ed technician immedi-

ately.

•  Failure to comply with these warnings could result in 

fi re, explosion, serious bodily injury and/or damage to 

the rubber or plastic parts of the dryer.

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

surrounding area.
