General Safety Instructions (Cont.)
CAUTION!
The items listed below are UNSUITABLE for clothes drying.
They can cause fire in the clothes dryer or extensive damage.
DO NOT place the following items into the clothes dryer.
:
Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly textured
rubber-like materials — when heated, these materials can spontaneously
combust and cause a fire.
:
Items that have been spotted or soaked with cooking oil, or with highly flam-
mable substances — these substances constitute a fire hazard. Highly flam-
mable substances used in domestic environments include acetone, alcohol,
petrol, kerosene, some stain removers, dry-cleaning solvents, turpentine,
waxes, wax removers and some hair care products. (This also includes items
that have previously been cleaned or spotted with dry-cleaning solvents or
other flammable or explosive substances.)
Washing these items thoroughly beforehand in hot water with an extra amount
of detergent will reduce, but not necessarily eliminate the hazard. The ‘cool
down’ cycle of a clothes dryer should be used to reduce the temperature of the
items. They should not be removed from the clothes dryer or piled or stacked
while hot.
:
Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements (such as underwire bras),
which can come loose during drying and damage the clothes dryer.
:
Plastic articles such as shower caps or waterproof baby bibs.
:
Rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows,
galoshes and rubber coated tennis shoes.
:
Fabric softeners or similar products, unless they are specifically recommended
by the product manufacturer for use in a clothes dryer to eliminate the effects
of static electricity.
CAUTION
!
• Do not use the tumble dryer if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.
• Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
• Do not allow lint to accumulate around the tumble dryer. Clean the filter after every use.
• Adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid the backflow of gases into the
room from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires.
This symbol alerts you to take care as oil-affected items can ignite
spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat, such as in a clothes
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.
