FIRE & HEAT SAFETY:
WARNING:
Oil-affected items can
ignite spontaneously,
especially when exposed to heat
sources such as in a laundry
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 fire. Piling, stacking or
storing oil-affected items can
prevent heat from escaping
and so create a fire hazard.
DO NOT dry unwashed items in
the laundry dryer.
WARNING: Items that have been
soiled with substances such as
cooking oil, acetone, alcohol,
petrol, kerosene, spot removers,
turpentine, waxes and wax
removers should be washed in
hot water with an extra amount
of detergent before being dried
in the laundry dryer.
Items such as foam rubber
(latex foam), shower caps,
waterproof textiles, rubber
backed articles and clothes or
pillows fitted with foam rubber
pads should not be dried in the
laundry dryer.
The final part of a laundry dryer
cycle occurs without heat
(cool down cycle) to ensure
that the items are left at a
temperature that ensures that
the items will not be damaged.
Remove all objects from pockets
such as lighters and matches.
WARNING: Never stop a laundry
dryer before the end of the
drying cycle unless all items are
quickly removed and spread out
so that heat is dissipate.

Hot and Air dry.
A. Air Dry: This function runs
with cool air, primarily to air
items that have been stored

dial is in the ‘OFF’ position no
power is supplied to the unit.
As soon as the dial is turned
clockwise to the desired
program, the dryer will start.

linen. Using the heat selector
knob, choose ‘Low’. Set the
drying timer knob between

the amount of items in the
dryer. Once the timer stops
(including the cool program)
the items will still contain
moisture, making the ironing
process easier.

and cool items and in most
cases leave items wrinkle free
(depending on material).
Select the ‘High’ heat option
and set the timer for more
that 60-120 minutes.
