WARNING: 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’ temperature. Never remove these items from the clothes dryer hot or inter-
rupt the drying cycle until the items have run through the “cool down” cycle. Never pile or stack these items when
they are hot.

WARNING: Gas leaks may occur in your system and result in a dangerous situation. Gas leaks may not be
detected by smell alone. Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install an UL approved gas detector. Install
and use in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
