U
se
•
The tumble dryer is not to be used if industrial chemicals have
been used for cleaning
.
•
The lint trap has to be cleaned frequently.
•
Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
•
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 the tumble dryer.
•
Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified
by the fabric softener instructions.
•
Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.
•
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.
•
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.
•
In case of a defect, only use approved spare parts by authorized
manufacturers.
