Warning and Safety instructions
15
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 depos-
its (such as cosmetics, lotions etc). If items have not been thor-
oughly 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.
– Items that have been soiled with substances such as acetone,
petrol, kerosene, stain removers, turpentine, waxes, wax re-
movers 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
varnish remover or similar substances.
When washing very heavily soiled items ensure that you use suffi-
cient detergent and select a high temperature. If in doubt wash
several times before drying.
Remove all items from pockets (e.g. lighters, matches).
In many programmes, the heating phase is followed by a cooling
down phase to ensure that the items are not too hot to handle when
you remove them (this also avoids the danger of the laundry self-ig-
niting). The programme is not finished until the cooling down phase
is complete. Ensure that you always wait until the end of the pro-
gramme before removing the laundry.
