Correct use

,
To avoid the possible danger of
fire, please read these warnings
carefully.
,
A clogged filter is a fire hazard!
The fluff filter must be cleaned after
every programme.
~
Remove all objects from pockets
such as lighters and matches.
~
To prevent the risk of fire, the
following textiles must not be dried in
this tumble dryer:
– Items which have not been washed.
– Items, such as workwear, which have
not been thoroughly cleaned and
which are still soiled with grease, oil
or other desposits (such as
cosmetics, lotions etc).
If items have not been thoroughly
cleaned, there is a danger that these
might ignite when heated, even after
they have been removed from the
dryer at the end of the programme.
Warning and Safety instructions
– Items that have been soiled with
substances such as cooking oil,
acetone, petrol, kerosene, spot
removers, turpentine, waxes, wax
removers and other chemicals (e.g.
mops and floor cloths) should be
washed in hot water with extra
detergent before being dried in the
tumble dryer.
– Items which have been splashed
with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail
polish remover or similar substances.
When washing such heavily soiled
items ensure that you use sufficient
detergent and select a high
temperature. If in doubt, wash the
items several times.
~
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
contaminated with vegetable or
cooking oil, or 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.
