ENGLISH 5
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.
If it is unavoidable that fabrics that
contain vegetable or cooking oil or
have been contaminated by hair care
products be placed in washer-dryer
they 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. They should not be
removed from the washer-dryer or
piled or stacked while hot.
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 environments 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.

washer-dryer, following should be
