WARNING! FIRE HAZARD
Do not place into your dryer items that have been
spotted or soaked with veget
able 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 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 esc
aping and c
an create a
fire hazard.
All washed and unwashed fabrics that cont
ain
vegetable oil or cooking oil can be dangerous.
W
ashing the
se 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 the
se items from the 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.
