Recycling

This machine is manufactured and labelled
for recycling. to prevent injuries, the machine
must be made unusable before disposing of
it.. Contact your local authority for information
about where and how your machine can be
recycled correctly.
• Items that have been spotted or soaked
with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a
fire 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
fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected
items can prevent heat from escaping and
so create a fire 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 first 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 flammable or explosive substances
should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Highly flammable 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
rubberlike materials should not be dried in
a tumble dryer on a heat setting. Foam
rubber materials can, when heated,
produce fire 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 specifically recommended by
the manufacturer of the fabric softener or
product.
• Undergarments that contain metal
reinforcements should not be placed in a
tumbledryer. 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 fitted with foam
rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and rubber-
coated tennis shoes should not be placed
in a tumble dryer.
Vented dryers
• There has to be adequate ventilation to
avoid the back flow of gases into the room
from appliances burning other fuels,
including open fires, when operating the
tumble dryer
• The exhaust air must not be discharged
into a flue which is used for exhausting
fumes from appliances burning gas or other
fuels
Caution!
Air from the tumble dryer must not be fed
through ducts used for equipment that burns
gas or other fuels.
