To reduce the risk of fire in a tumble dryer the fo![owing should be observed:
Do not place items in a tumble dryer that have previously been cleaned in, washed in, soaked
in, or spot cleaned with flammable liquids or solids. They are a fire or explosion hazard.
Highly flammable substances commonly used in domestic environments include acetone,
denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some brands of spot removers and dry cleaning solvents,
turpentine, waxes, wax removers, vegetable oil, fish oil, massage oil, and cooking oil.
Do not leave hot oiPaffected items in a pile or stack. This can prevent heat from escaping and
can create a fire hazard. OiPaffected items can ignite spontaneousb/, especially when exposed
to heat sources such as a tumble dryer. The items become warm causing an oxidation reaction
in the oil This oxidation creates heat. [f the heat cannot escape the items can become hot
enough to catch fire.
Do not use heat to dry items containing rubber, foam rubber, plastic or similar materials, (such
as padded bras, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants, plastic bags, pillows etc), as these materials
might melt or burn. Some rubber materials when heated can under certain circumstances
produce fire by spontaneous combustion. Dry only on the AIR DRY cycle.
Unless specifically recommended by their manufacturer, do not use fabric softeners or similar
products in a tumble dryer.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable gases and liquids near this or any other
appliance.
Keep the area around and underneath your dryer free from the accumulation of combustible
materials such as lint, paper, rags, chemicals etc
Do not store any items that may burn or melt (such as paper materials, plastics or plastic
containers etc) next to the dryer.
Empty the lint bucket before the lint reaches the top of the transparent section (usually once a
week).
The dryer must be exhausted to the outside. Carefully follow the venting details in the
Installation instructions.
Keep the floor around your dryer clean and dry to reduce the possibility of slipping.
[f your dryer is running and you want to unload or add clothes, press STT\RT/PAUSEand wait
until the machine has unlocked the lid. Do not force it open.
