22. WARNING: The 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.
Heat pump model only: The instructions shall also
include the substance of the following:
WARNING: In the appliance enclosure or in the built-in
structure, keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction.
WARNING: Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
To minimize the risk of re in a tumble dryer, the following should be
observed
CAUTION
Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a
re hazard and should not be placed in a tumble dryer. Oil-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 re. Piling,
stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so 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 in hot water with extra detergent – this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
The ‘cool down’ cycle of tumble dryers should be used to reduce the temperature of the
items. They should not be removed from the tumble 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 ammable or explosive substances
should not be placed in a tumble dryer. Highly ammable substances commonly
used in domestic environments include acetone, denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline,
kerosene, spot removers(some brands), turpentine, waxes and wax removers.

Items containing foam rubber(also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber. Like
materials should not be dried in a tumble dryer on a heat setting. Foam rubber materials
can, when heated, produce re by spontaneous combustion.
Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate
the effects of static electricity unless this practice is specically recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in a tumble
dryer. Damage to the tumble dryer can result if metal reinforcements come loose during
drying. When available a drying rack could be used for such items.
Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies’ waterproof napkin covers should not be
placed in a tumble dryer.
Rubber-backed articles, clothes tted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and
rubber-coated tennis shoes should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer(or washing machine drying mode,etc).
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 tumble dryer.
Items such as foam rubber(latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed
articles and clothes or pillows tted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the
tumble dryer.
Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specied by the fabric softener
instructions.
