To prevent the risk of fire, the
following textiles must not be dried in
this dryer:
– items which have not been washed.
– items, such as work-wear, exposed
to grease, oils, or other deposits
(such as lotions or cosmetics) in your
dryer. If these items have not been
thoroughly cleaned there is a danger
that they may contribute to a
chemical reaction that could cause
the laundry to ignite when heated
even after being removed from the
dryer.
– items that have been previously
cleaned, washed, soaked or spotted
with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents
or other flammable or explosive
substances. They may give off
vapors that could ignite or explode.
– items treated with flammable
cleaning agents or items containing
acetone, alcohol, petrol, stain
remover, wax or chemicals from
buffing, etc.
– items which have been splashed with
hair spray, nail polish remover, etc.
When washing heavily soiled items
ensure that sufficient detergent is
used with a high temperature. If in
doubt wash the item several times.
– items containing foam rubber or
similarly textured rubber-like
materials.
– items with padding or filling (e.g.
pillows or jackets) which have been
damaged. Loose filling could catch
fire.
