children. There is a risk of su ocation! Keep all
packaging away from children.
16 Always check the inside of the dryer for foreign
objects before loading laundry. Keep the door
closed when not in use.

5 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.
If this heat cannot escape, the items can
become hot enough to catch re. Piling,
stacking, or storing these kinds of items may
prevent heat from escaping and can create a re
hazard.
6 Take care that children'
