Warning!
Risk of Explosion & Fire

• Please do not dry the clothes with any flammable substances such as kerosene or alcohol.
•  The tumble dryer is not to be used if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.
•  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.
•  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.
• Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.
• If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products are placed in a tumble dryer they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent. This will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
