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. Dryer Safety Operation Requirements Parts and Features CAUTION Installation Instructions Dryer Use Appendix Dryer Care Troubleshooting 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. 7
