Correct use

,
To avoid the possible danger of
fire please read these warnings
carefully.
~
To prevent the risk of fire, the
following textiles must not be dried in
this tumble dryer:
– Items which have not been washed.
– Items, such as workwear, which have
not been thoroughly cleaned and
which are still soiled with grease, oil
or other desposits (such as
cosmetics, lotions etc).
If items have not been thoroughly
cleaned there is a danger that these
might ignite when heated, even after
they have been removed from the
dryer at the end of the programme.
– Items that have been soiled with
substances such as cooking oil,
acetone, petrol, kerosene, spot
removers, turpentine, waxes, wax
removers and other chemicals (e.g.
mops and floor cloths)should be
washed in hot water with extra
amount of detergent before being
dried in the tumble dryer.
– Items which have been splashed
with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail
polish remover or similar substances.
Warning and Safety instructions
When washing such heavily soiled
items ensure that you use sufficient
detergent and select a high
temperature. If in doubt, wash the
items several times.
~
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.
