Fire Hazards

• Some fabrics are not suitable for use in the clothes dryer. The following MUST NOT be placed in your clothes dryer due to the risk of a fire or an explosion:

• Item(s) that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable oil, cooking oil, suntan oil, linseed oil, salad oil, lubrication oil or grease. Oil affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a clothes dryer. The items become warm, causing as oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to ignite. Pilling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and 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 clothes dryer, they should first be washed is hot water with extra detergent – this will reduce, but not eliminate the hazard.

• Item(s) that have previously been cleaned in, washed in, or spotted with petrol/gasoline, industrial chemicals used only for cleaning, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances are highly flammable. Highly flammable or explosive commonly found around the house include acetone, (nail polish remover) denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should not be put in the dryer. Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-like materials. Foam rubber materials can produce fire by spontaneous combustion when heated.

• Rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, rubber boots and rubber coated sports shoes.

assist with avoiding overloading your dryer.**

GENERAL HINTS

• Clothes should be washed before use within the dryer.
• Always ensure the similar types of clothes are dried together.
• Try to sort your clothes to be dried into load that take a similar time to dry (for example heavier items separate from light items).
• Make sure any decorations or buttons on your clothing items are safe for high temperatures and well protected.
• It is recommended to turn your clothes inside-out.
• Check and empty pockets. Clip, pens, nails and pins can damage your clothes. Other item such as matches or cigarette lighters will cause a fire.
• Drying time will depend on fabric type and construction, load size and wetness.
• The laundry must be thoroughly spun before drying. Do not place hand washed items that have not been spun, into the dryer.
• To avoid static charge when drying is completed, use either a fabric softener when you are washing the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for clothes dryers.
• Due to variations in dryer load fabric texture and thickness it is possible that not all items will be dried evenly. If you experience uneven dryness, set the extra time but be mindful of the type of fabric being dried to avoid over drying certain types of fabric.
• Drying time will also be affected by room temperature and humidity. Clothes will dry more slowly on a cool or humid day.
• For best results, sort the load according to fabric. Such as heavy items which may take longer to dry (i.e. towels, flannelette sheets, etc) than ones which dry quickly (i.e. cotton shirts and sheets).
• If individual items are still damp after drying, you may need to run extra time, or allow the items to finish drying naturally outside the dryer. This will be necessary particularly for multi-layered items (i.e. collars, pockets, etc).
