Risk of fire / Flammable materials
Safety Precautions (continued)
Do not dry items soiled with flammable materials.
Drying zItems that have been soiled with substances such
as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene,
spot removers, turpentine, waxes, wax removers
and cosmetic oils must not be dried in the appliance
even after having been washed.
zOil-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 fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-
affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.
zIf it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been
contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer, they should first be
washed in hot water with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
Empty all pockets.
zMake sure that no objects are left in any
of the pockets. Pay particular attention to
cigarette lighters and matches. They may
cause fire.
Do not dry items made of rubber, etc.
Drying
zItems such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps,
waterproof textiles, airtight fabrics, rubber backed articles
and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads
should not be dried in the appliance. Such materials may
be destroyed and thereby damage the appliance.
zDo not dry unwashed items in the appliance.
The lint must not be allowed
to accumulate around the
appliance.
Observe the following.
zNever stop the appliance before the end of the
drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed
and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
zThe appliance is not to be used if industrial
chemicals have been used for cleaning.
zThe appliance must not be supplied
through an external switching device, such
as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is
regularly switched on and off by a utility.
