WARNING - Risk of Fire
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion:
• Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with
gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances. They
emit vapors that could ignite or explode. Any material that has been in contact with a
cleaning solvent or flammable liquids or solids should not be placed in the dryer until all
traces of these flammable liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed.
There are many highly flammable items used in homes, such as acetone, denatured
alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household cleaners, some spot removers,
turpentine, waxes, and wax removers
• Items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-
like materials must not be dried on a heat setting. Heated foam rubber materials can,
under certain circumstances, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
