SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• 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 be used as
specified by the fabric softener instructions.
• The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat
(cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a
temperature that ensures that the items will not be
damaged.
• The lint trap has to be cleaned frequently.
• The lint must not to be allowed to accumulate around
the tumble dryer.
• Adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid the
back flow of gases into the room from appliance burning
other fuels, including open fires.
• The exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which
is used for exhausting fumes from appliance burning gas
or other fuels.
• The appliance must not be install behind a lockable door,
a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side
to that of the tumble dryer. In such a way that a full
opening of the tumble dryer door is restricted.
• 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.
