Do not place into your dryer
items
that have been
spotted
or soaked
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, allowing
an oxidation
reaction
in the oil
to occur.
Oxidation
creates
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
escaping
and can create
a fire hazard.
All washed
and
unwashed
fabrics
that
contain
vegetable
oil or cooking
oil can be dangerous.
Washing
these
items
in hot
water
with
extra
detergent
will reduce,
but
will not
eliminate,
the hazard.
Always
use the "cool down"
cycle
for these
items
to reduce
the items'
tempera-
ture.
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.
Important
Safety
Notice
& Warning
The
California
Safe
Drinking
Water
and
Toxic
Enforcement
Act of 1986 (Proposition
65) requires
the
Governor
of California
to publish
a list of substances
known
to the
State
of California
to cause
cancer
or
reproductive
harm,
and
requires
businesses
to warn
customers
of potential
exposures
to such
substances.
Users
of this
appliance
are hereby
warned
that
the
burning
of gas can result
in low-level
exposure
to some
of the listed
substances,
including
benzene,
formalde-
hyde,
and
soot,
due primarily
to the incomplete
com-
bustion
of natural
gas or liquid
petroleum
(LP) fuels.
Exhaust
ducts
should
be kept
free of obstructions
and
properly
exhausted
dryers
will minimize
exposure.
