Safety instructions for use

To minimize the risk of fire within the inner bowl, the following should be observed:
• 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 ' ' 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
8
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 rubber like
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
during a drying cycle, to
eliminate the effects of static
electricity unless this practice is
specifically recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric
softener or product.
