Plastic detergent dispensers should
not remain in the drum during the
drying cycle, as the plastic used is not
designed to withstand the heat. If you
wish to wash-through-to dry you
should use the conventional detergent
dispenser drawer.
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
If it is unavoidable that fabrics contain
vegetable or cooking oil or have been
contaminated by hair care products
be placed in washer-dryer, it should
first be washed in hot water with extra
detergent - this will reduce, but not
eliminate the hazard. The “cool down”
cycle of washer-dryer is used to
reduce the temperature of the items.
It should not be removed from the
washer-dryer or piled or stacked while
hot.
Plastic detergent dispensers should
not remain in the drum during the
drying cycle, as the plastic used is not
designed to with stand the heat. If you
wish to wash-through-to dry you
should use the conventional detergent
dispenser drawer.
Never pull the power supply cable to
remove the plug from the socket;
always take hold of the plug itself.
Never use the washer-dryer if the
power supply cable, the control panel,
the working surface or the base are
damaged so that the inside of the
washer-dryer is accessible.
Items that have been spotted or
soaked with vegetable or cooking oil
constitute a fire hazard and should not
placed in a washer-dryer. Oil-affected
items can ignite spontaneously,
especially when exposed to heat
sources such as in washer-dryer. The
items become warm, causing an
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.
Items containing foam rubber (also
known as latex foam) or similarly
textured rubber, like materials should
not be dried in a washer-dryer on a
heat setting.
Fabric softeners or similar products
should not be used in a washer-dryer
to eliminate the effects of static
electricity unless this practice is
specifically recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or
product.
Undergarments that contain metal
reinforcements should not be placed
in a washer-dryer.
Plastic articles such as shower caps
or babies’ waterproof napkin covers
should not be placed in washer-dryer.
Damage to the washer-dryer can
result if metal reinforcements come
loose during drying. When available a
drying rack could be used for such
itmes.
Foam rubber materials can, when
heated, produce fire by spontaneous
combustion.
Items that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or
spotted with petrol/gasoline, dry-
cleaning solvents or other flammable
or explosive substances should not be
placed in washer-dryer.
Highly flammable substances
commonly used in domestic environ-
ments include acetone, denatured
alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosine, spot
removers (some brands), turpentine,
waxes and wax removers.
Never stop a washer-dryer before
the end of the drying cycle unless all
items are quickly removed and
spread out so that the heat is
dissipated.
CAUTION!
-
Do not dry cloths in washer-dryer
with dry clean solvents. Also, do not
use laundry enhancement products
during the drying cycle.
To minimize the risk of fire in a
washer-dryer, the following should be
observed:
