flammable or explosive substances. Highly 

flammable substances commonly used in 

domestic environments including cooking 

oil, acetone, denatured alcohol, kerosene, 

spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax 

removers. Ensure these items have been 

washed in hot water with an extra amount 

of detergent before being dried in the 

tumble dryer.

• Do not tumble dry items containing foam 

rubber (also known as latex foam), or 

similarly textured rubber like materials. 

Foam rubber materials can, when heated, 

produce fire by spontaneous combustion.

• Fabric softener or similar products should 

not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate 

the effects of static electricity unless the 

practice is specifically recommended by the 

manufacturer of the fabric softener product.

• Do not tumble dry undergarments that 

contain metal reinforcements eg. bras 

with metal reinforcing wires. Damage to 

the tumble dryer can result if the metal 

reinforcements come loose during drying.

• Do not tumble dry rubber, plastic articles 

such as shower caps or babies waterproof 

covers, polythene or paper.

• Do not tumble dry rubber backed articles, 

clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, 

pillows, galoshes and rubber coated tennis 

shoes.

• Remove all objects from pockets such as 

lighters and matches.

!

 

WARNING: 

Never stop the dryer before 

the end of the drying cycle unless all 

items are quickly removed and spread 

out so that the heat is dissipated.

Save energy and respect the 

environment

• Wring out all items to eliminate excess water 

before tumble drying (if you use a washing 

machine first, select  a high spin cycle). Doing 

this will save time and energy during drying.

• Always dry full loads - you save energy: single 

items or small loads take longer to dry.

• Clean the filter after each use to contain energy 

consumption costs
