General Safety Instructions (Cont.)
CAUTION!
The items listed below are UNSUITABLE for clothes drying. They can cause fire in
the dryer or extensive damage. DO NOT place them in 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 flammable
substances — these substances constitute a fire hazard. Highly flammable 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.)
:
If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil, or that 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. 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 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.
• No timer: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut-out,
this appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a
timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.
• Liability: Improper use or installation may result in the risk of fire, electric shock and/
or injury. We assume no liability for any eventual damages caused by improper use or
handling, or by any other noncompliance with the instructions in this manual.
