WARNING
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.
•
Do not dry items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex
foam) or similarly textured rubber-like materials on a heat setting.
Heated foam rubber materials can, under certain circumstances,
produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
CAUTION
•
Do not sit on top of the dryer.
•
Because of continuing product improvements, Midea America
reserves the right of change specifications without notice. For
complete details, see the Installation Instructions packed with your
product before selecting cabinetry, making cutouts, or beginning
installation.
•
Do not dry clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal
or solid things.
•
Install and use in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
•
Do not place items in your dryer 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.
•
Residual oil on clothing can ignite spontaneously. The potential for
spontaneous combustion increases when items containing vegetable
oil or cooking oil are exposed to heat. Heat source 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 escaping and can create a fire
hazard.
•
Take care that children’s fingers are not caught in door when closing
it. This may result in injury.
•
Gas leaks may occur in your system, resulting in a dangerous
situation.
•
Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone.
•
Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install a UL approved
gas detector.
