Safety information
Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol,
Kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot
water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.
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 th
tumble dryer.
Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified by the fabric softene
instructions.
The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat(cool down cycle) to ensure tha
the items are left at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.
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 escapin and
so create a fire hazard.
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 b washed
in hot water with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
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.
Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.
The tumble dryer(or washing machine drying mode, etc) is not to be used if industrial
chemicals have been used for cleaning.
