Never reach into a machine until it has finished spinning.

Never operate a machine if you smell gas or fumes. Leave the location and inform the staff or property manager immediately.

Never place any items wet with gasoline, oil, or other flammable chemicals in a dryer. These types of chemicals can cause a fire or explosion if placed in a dryer.

Remove clothing promptly when the cycle finishes to prevent wrinkles.

Examine clothing for stains, pre-treating if necessary. Check the stain guide for more help.

Use dye and fragrance-free varieties of your favorite detergent and softener for sensitive skin concerns.

Never place materials like rubber or plastics inside a dryer. They can melt and cause fire.

One load washed is one load dried. Overfilling a dryer can delay drying, cause wrinkles, and accelerate material wear and tear.

Clean the lint trap before each use for best performance.

Be sure the door is closed when starting a machine cycle.
