WARNING! FIRE HAZARD
Do not place into your dryer items 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. 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 clothes 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.
All washed and unwashed fabrics that contain
vegetable oil or cooking oil can be dangerous.
Washing these 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 these items from the clothes 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.
