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.
