Oxidation creates heat. If heat cannot
escape, the items can become hot
enough to ignite. Pilling, stacking or
storing oil-affected items can prevent
heat from escaping and create a re
hazard. If 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 rst be washed is
hot water with extra detergent - this
will reduce, but not eliminate the
hazard.
The nal part of tumble dryer cycle
occurs without heat (Cooling cycle) to
ensure that the items are left at the
temperature that ensures that the
items will not be damage.
For your safety, and to reduce the
risk of re or an explosion, DO NOT
store or use petrol or other
inammable vapours and liquids
near your dryer.
• Item that have previously been
cleaned in, washed in, or spotted with
petrol/gasoline, industrial chemicals

explosive substances are highly
ammable. Highly ammable or
explosive commonly found around the
house include acetone, (nail polish
remover) denatured alcohol, petrol/
gasoline, kerosene, some spot
removers, turpentine, waxes and wax
removers should not be put in the
dryer. Items containing foam rubber
(also known as latex foam) or similarly
textured rubber-like materials. Foam
rubber materials can produce re by
spontaneous combustion when
heated.
• Rubber-backed articles, clothes tted
with foam rubber pads, pillows, rubber
boots and rubber-coated sports
shoes.

LINT BUILD-UP IS A FIRE HAZARD
A clean lint lter reduces drying times,
saves energy and avoids overheating.
Overheating may also damage your
