SAFETY INFORMATION
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 fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in
the tumble dryer.
Fabric softeners, or similar products, should only be used as
•
specified by the product manufacturer's instructions.
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 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.
Remove all objects from items that could be a source of fire
•
ignition such as lighters or matches.
WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the
•
drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and
spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
Before any maintenance operation, deactivate the appliance
•
and disconnect the mains plug from the socket.
