Safety Precautions
Risk of fire/Flammable materials
Do not dry items soiled with flammable materials.
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat
z
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
z
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.
Empty all pockets.
Do not dry items made of rubber, etc.
The lint must not be allowed
to accumulate around the
appliance.
