textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should
not be dried in the tumble dryer.

ventilation.

instructions. Incorrect usage of softening agents during a wash can cause hazardous
repercussions to the clothes and unit damage when they are dried in the dryer.
