SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps,
waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or
pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in
the tumble dryer.
• Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as
specified by the fabric softener instructions.
• 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.
• Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and
matches.
• 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.
• WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the
drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and
spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
• Openings must not be obstructed.
• The lint trap has to be cleaned frequently.
• Lint must not to be allowed to accumulate around the
tumble dryer.
