Do 

not 

dry 

items 

that 

have 

been 

previously 

cleaned 

in, 

soaked 

in, 

or

spotted 

with 

gasoline, 

cleaning 

solvents, 

kerosene, 

cooking 

oils, 

waxes, 

etc. 

Do 

not

store 

these 

items 

on 

or 

near 

the 

dryer. 

These 

substances 

give 

off 

vapors 

or 

chemical

reactions 

that 

could 

ignite 

or 

explode.

 

 

 

 

 

To 

prevent 

fire, 

do 

not 

use 

heat 

to 

dry 

items 

containing 

plastic, 

foam

rubber 

or 

similarly 

textured 

rubber-like

screen 

housing 

and 

exhaust 

duct 

should 

be 

cleaned 

approximately

An 

excessive 

amount 

of 

lint 

build-up 

in

these 

areas 

could 

result 

in 

inefficient 

drying 

and 

possible 

fire.
