NOTES ON SAFETY
13. Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used
as specied by the fabric softener instructions.
14. The nal part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without
heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are cooled
down to a lower temperature and they will not be dam-
aged.
15. WARNING: never stop a tumble dryer before the end
of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed
and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
16. The exhaust air must not be discharged into a ue
which is used for exhausting fumes from appliance burn-
ing gas or other fuels.
17. The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable
door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite
side to that of the tumble dryer in such a way that a full
opening of the tumble dryer door is restricted.
18. Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially
when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer.
The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in
the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape,
the items can become hot enough to catch re. Piling,
stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from
escaping and so create a re hazard.
19. If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable
or cooking oil or which have been contaminated by hair
care products be placed in a tumble dryer, they should
rst be washed in hot water with extra detergent. This will
reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
20. The appliance should not be overturned during normal
use or maintenance.
21. Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and
matches.
